Google News labeled a photo of Michael Steele as just "Afro American." What would happen if a conservative news organization labeled photo of Barack Obama as "Afro American". They took it down but you can see the image through the link.

Or magic negro for that matter...oh...wait, sorry a black columnist did that.....(chuckle)
Isn’t that how liberals view us, including the new brown-complexioned Liberal-In-Chief? As a nameless, collective, group of less-than-human things? Those of us who step outside the bounds are considered “defective” or “insane”.

They have it all wrong. His hair is quite short.
Exactly. We are individuals. In liberal speak we are all just nameless, faceless members of victim groups.
Uhh, Google is not an actual news-gathering organization. Google News has no human editors or writers — articles and photos are chosen by a computer program based on the most recent, popular stories on other news sites.
Just go to Google News and look at ANY of the other pictures there. Each has the source of the photo (i.e. BBC News, CNN, etc) listed underneath the photo. The “Afro American Newspaper” is simply the name of a DC-based paper and news site.
Mystery solved!
