Harvard Professor Suggests Google
Ads Discriminate Against Black People

WBS-TV [Boston, MA], by Beth Germano

CAMBRIDGE – When Harvard University computer scientist LaTanya Sweeney Googled her name she was surprised at what she found. A Google ad questioning whether she had an arrest record. “I almost fell out of my chair! I’ve never been arrested, what’s going on here?“ She’s a law-abiding citizen, but the Google ad from a firm called Instant Checkmate suggested she had a criminal record. “If they sell it don’t they know who they have arrest records for?” She dug deeper with over 2,100 names, most coming from a study on birth records which

Amazing. You couldn´t make up stories like this if you had to.

I get those ads too, so I guess I must be black or a criminal, or both. News to me.

My name is Tyrone and every single website I visit an ad pops up about getting my arrest record. This is very eerie and upsetting.

We should simply go ahead and change the term, ´African American´ - which is pretty amusing anyway, as darn few American blacks have ever set foot in Africa...

To - "Professional Victim Class´ - and get it over with.

The funniest thing I´ve ever seen in my life was in a local downtown bar/restaurant - a fairly upscale place - where several people at the bar were discussing an auto accident out front, where a police car driven by a black officer had been hit by an elderly white woman. A black woman at the bar was insisting it was done ´on purpose´ as an ´attack against the officer´s race´...

One of the patrons I knew - a pale red-headed guy from Pretoria, South Africa - took the woman to task. "Are you saying she hit the guy because he´s black?" Charlie asked...

"Don´t say black!" the woman responded - "Say African-American!".

Charlie flipped his Pretoria driver´s license on the bar in front of her, and said, "Lady - I´m the only African-American in this bar..."

The cop in question outside had to be snagged quickly - as the ´outraged black woman´ attempted to walk out of the bar - and leave a $90 tab unpaid...

So much for ´racism´ in the new world, eh?

Well I think their ads discriminate against white guys. What makes them think I need anything enlarged or enhanced?

;-D

But seriously . . . LaTanya. Go slap your mother. She and the sisterhood are responsible for prophesying trouble into their children´s lives by giving them names that are associated with crime because criminals are more likely to be named MoKweesha than Ann or LeShon than Bob.

Way back in the 20th century, I cautioned my black students about how they might name their children - that one of those proud ethnic names, like laquan´isha, or other examples, on a resume, might cost that child a job interview.
Now there is an additional reason to avoid the proud ethnic names. But there will be a class action suit against google - bet on it.

One problem that most of the low IQ´d searchers don´t think about is that some names are quite frequent around the country. Secondly many of them do not check for Middle Initials or Suffixes. Example, in checking my First and Last Name I found 50 of the them in the State of Florida and 40 of them in Kentucky. Of course Middle Initials were different in most cases. Three in Fla had my same middle initial but the name was different.

In addition while I lived on the east coast of Fla, there was a guy who lived on the west coast of Fla who was convicted of Child molestation and sent to prison for 25 years. Same First and Last name but different middle name. But to the low IQ´d it made no difference, I was questioned many times. Once I got them to actually open their brain and double check, all they could say was "Oh, sorry". My reply was FU stupid.

So be careful when checking up on someone. You may or may not have the right person.

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
