Thus, the irony is incredibly deep with Yahoo's frontpage story today, in which it declares Americans "secretly racist" based on their... search engine entries. Specifically, Yahoo contests that Americans are particularly racist toward President Obama.
The fact that Mr. Obama was elected in 2008 does not even truly enter into the discussion; nope, we are racists all, apparently including those who voted for him. Yahoo does try to explain away some of their ridiculous findings, but their headline gets straight to what they are talking about: "Are Americans secretly racist? Yes:"
The article intentionally passes over exactly what the research was looking for other than saying data about "racially tinged" searches was monitored. They also searched for the n-word.
They did not discuss how they got the samples. They did not discuss how many samples they used in the studies. They did not account for double counting, where people may have been searching a quote a racist said. They did not account for mistakes in spelling. No, according to Yahoo news, if you have ever used a bad word in a search bar, you are a racist.
Doing everything they possibly can for the administration, Yahoo even goes as far as saying that the 41% of the vote Keith Judd received in the West Virginia primary against Obama was entirely from racism. Nowhere in the article is it even mentioned that he is a democrat.
This is probably why no one uses Yahoo as a search engine anymore.

There's a problem if people vote for anyone based on color....whether it is because they are biased in a direction or if it's because they are trying to prove that they are not. The only thing that should matter is who the person is, what they stand for and what they are made of, character wise. This has been the most divisive administration I have ever witnessed in this country. This is a black man who isn't even black who has used his ethnicity to create an abyss in this country.
ReplyDeleteI am not a racist. I don't like Obama because he has done nothing but make not only the economy worse but the very climate of this nation worse. And our first lady has declared that only now is she proud of her country. How is it that someone of that thinking can even reside in the White House?
