Google won't remove offensive Obama photo

Some folks are pissed after a racist photo of First Lady Michelle Obama popped up in the Google Image search.

The photo, which evidently features the First Lady with monkey like features, won't be removed though.

Google says the images in their search are chosen with "algorithms using thousands of factors to calculate a page's relevance to a given query," and had nothing to do with the "beliefs and preferences of Google employees and the general public." 

So will the offensive photo of Mrs. Obama be removed? The answer is no.

The Google ad explains: "Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it," the disclaimer says. "We will, however, remove pages from our results if we believe the page (or its site) violates our webmaster guidelines, if we believe we are required to do so by law, or at the request of the webmaster who is responsible for the page." 

Google delivered the news through an ad on their network titled, "Sometimes our search results can be offensive." Duh. "We assure you that the views expressed by such sites are not in any way endorsed by Google," the ad explained.

Wow!!!! America is still a Cracker-Nation even after all thats happened in history.I guess white people will never change.No wonder why so many people hate Americans.Aside from thinking we are ALL like America's corrupted government,they think we are ALL like the bigoted crackers that have oppressed so many throughout history.America will never change.

How about America stop saying you are a great country and start BEING a great country.

I wonder what redneck confederate puritan conservative or as I call them "batshit crazies" will invade this site and tell me how wrong I am.

I totally am in awe of this site. going to have to remember to put this on the list.

Interesting piece! Are there any opinions that you may be able to divulge to explain your last section a small amount more? thanks
