    Google up the question "Is it possible to be racist against a white person" and see what you get. Most likely you will see that Google
    promotes the view that you cannot, even though lots of people have been attacked, beaten, stomped and left damaged for life based entirely
    on the crime of being a white person.

    Is that not racism? Attacked purely on racial grounds? You don't have to control Bank of America or be the white guys themselves in Google and Silicon Valley who make billions of dollars through their "white privilege" to make someone else suffer purely based on their racial make up. And it's one more reason to stop giving business to Google and find other search engines somewhat less scurrilous and racist themselves.

    It depends how you interpret "promotes".
    If an algorithm picked the article due to specific keywords, then it could be argued that HuffPo manipulated the algorithm.
    If on the other hand someone in Google hardcoded that result..... which I find unlikely....

    The definition of racist includes the belief that one "race" is genetically and socially superior to another. If that is not the case, then the person is a bigot. All racists are bigots, but not all bigots are racist.

    A difficult concept for some to grasp.

    black people can be racist against whites
    same as whites can be racist against blacks

    in fact I would say there is a equal number of both at this time in history sadly

    From a Google search right now by me:

    Asian pride: In the United States, Asian pride (also spelled AZN pride) is a positive stance to being Asian American.

    Black pride: Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their African heritage

    Seems like a petty distinction that does nothing to address Google's attempts to whitewash (no pun intended) black racism. You should move on.

    This is what I got.

    So honest of progressives............. Typical lying Nazi's they are...

    They're suggesting it's not possible for black folks (or anyone "non-white") to feel superior to whites...

    I suppose using their logic they're basically saying whites are indeed superior to blacks.

    Whites are superior to blacks and google says so.... lol

    Progressive scum has tried to redefine the word "racism" so only whitey can be guilty of that.
    It's bull(*)(*)(*)(*)! Talk to that white guy in Charlotte and got his head stomped in by a black mob of racists in the recent riots.
    This was not racism? Bull! Yes, it was prejudice and discrimination which are just byproducts of racism itself.

    done no such thing, racism is when you treat a person different purely based on their racial grouping, be they white, black, red or blue

    and yes, that is racist... if they targeted him because he was white, it was racists

    Words have meaning. Garbage in gets garbage out. If you would put in black power or asian superiority you would get different results...why because words have effin meaning.

    White Pride has been adopted by the Storm Front crowd as a racist meme. You can whine about it all you want but that is what it means.

    Just like if you put in Irish Pride you would have a different results. Does that mean google is biased in favor of Irish people. What utter and complete nonsense.

    Actually it isn't "petty" at all if one thinks that words actually matter. Words that plug into a robotic search engine for example.
