Original Title:Google puts White House blunder blame on 'racist web users
Google has identified the culprit behind the White House showing as "n***a house" screw up, and it turns out it's not them, it's you.
According to the tech giant's spokesperson, if an internet user was racist and frequently used such words on the Internet, the map search results will show such words, as their ranking systems were designed to return results that match a person's query, TMZ.com reported.
In short it means that apparently a lot people have calling President Obama's residence as the "n***a house."
However, Google added that they were working to fix the "failure in our system," which could take a while.

Maybe Carl Van Vechten lives there.
but Google didn’t show it hate for Christians by having nothing on its website for Easter. But Ramadan and Martin Luther King Day they did. At least bing had different colored Easter eggs. Google’s contempt for Christians is palpable and I hate using Google but bing sucks lol
It should be blamed on Black internet users.
It is far more likely that an Urban Black will use that term as a descriptor than an average white person.
The truth of this is also pointed out by the unique spelling - with an “a” at the end rather than the letter “r”.
People using that term as they do in their speech, the “urban phonics” of the epithet is decided preponderant with the spelling “n***a” or “n***ah.”
A good natural language processor engine might eventually make the inference.
This is sort of like playing Beatles recordings backwards.
I agree. I’ve heard racist terms, but the N word is a rather antiquated one. I’ve never heard a white racist use it with an a at the end.
Internet is racist, just not from white people. The word that Paula Dean used to accurately describe a strong arm bank robber was frequently used by blacks in regards to Obama’s election.
n****a is not even a word. Tried to look it up in the dictionary and could not find it.
Now I have heard of nigger and nigra and negro.
The explanation stinks. How can entering n*gger in a search lead to the off-white house unless it has been programmed into the search selection options by someone at google?
ping
*chuckle*
"Unintended consequences has never been a priority area for the social manipulators and the smarmy but abysmally ignorant elected criminals.
Really. Has anyone heard of an institute of higher learning that offers a course in "unintended consequences?"
I wonder if the same thing happens when you enter “Communist”, “Big Ears” or “Dictator”?
