lol is it funny or what?

 

i think them making "black" the only dictionary word not getting suggestive results is the funniest part.

 

I think the image is fake...some probably came up with it as a joke

 

regardless, read my post above

 

It is fake but it's still funny

 

The image isn't fake as far as I know. Google shows a bunch of stuff like that.

Took the screenshot 5 seconds ago.

 

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

 

Of course Google is nit a racist. But..it's really funny..Just like some people don't like Korean song No Body.

 

lol funny thoughts

 

haha very funny but i don't think Google is racist but kinda weird why suggest black instead of white for that topic.

 

I don't think so Google is ravist. They have to manage such a large database. mistakes can happen

 

I was kinda surprised with a lot tackle more about this subject.

 

Google just showing whats on the internet, ergo, google is not racist, the internet is...

 

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!".

 

tested query using firefox..

Check Here

using firefox

http://www.google.co.id/search?clie...stole+my+car&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

nothing happen like that

Result : Its fake

 

wth is a ravist?

 

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.

 

lol ... that reminds me. In the past, if you searched, "paris hilton isn't a slut" it would say, Do you mean, "Paris hilton IS a slut"? lol
