    I am saying Google is not a racist...
    I guess Google is just providing the suggestions...
    But that is quite hilarious.

    Google is racist. But they dont express it this way. And its not against blacks. If you can read 'blacks' then that means they are just popularizing everything 'American' on the internet. This is just a trick cooked up time and again to get some attention in the internet memes. basically if you dont conform to the ideas, whims and affiliations (religious, political, economic) of 'the thought police of the internet' then you are screwed good.

    Lol that's funny :). A few years back if you searched for "black people" on Google, there would be an AdWords advert offering you to "Buy black people on eBay!".

    Search suggestions are given all the time and are based on popular search terms. So if this screen capture were from a real result, then that shows what the more popular search query is. Google bases it's suggestions off of search metrics that it compiles daily, not off of it's particular views on race.

    Your result is irrelevant, the OP stated that all suggestions containing the term "Black" have been removed. So...I'm sorry, but the search you did doesn't mean anything, and the fact that you were using a different browser is meaningless too. Results are pulled from a database based on relevance to the term, not based on relevance and your browser.

    Not only that, but just because you couldn't duplicate the result doesn't mean that it didn't happen, it just means it didn't happen to you.
