Pls ask the Google and bastards called whites if they recognise morals, senses, well cultured, dignity etc, tell the whites that those are ascribed to all black of the world and not for the demons called white creating problems to d world, legalising gay, lesbianism among other vices. 2 Likes |

Black people are gorrilas. Look at the zoo called Nigeria and you see it everywhere. Nigerian Muslims told to kill their fellow blacks because of religion, stupid people give a tenth of their earnings to so called men of God. The government steals money meant for millions of people. People cannot reason on their own, the rely on the religion, culture, news of the white people. Same in other parts of Africa Look at the blacks in USA - stupid, lazy and dumb. Google is spot on - Blacks are gorillas. 1 Like |

YSA06: And who is killing in the north? Blacks. Who are burning churches? blacks. Who are deceiving people in the name of religion? blacks. Just look at the way blacks behave. Have you travelled out of Nigeria? Compare the way people conduct themselves. How orderly they are while waiting for their turns. Blacks behave like animals... Until you guys change, you will forever be seen as animals 1 Like |

nnasino: If you are not a gorilla then act like a human. Do you observe queues? Are you orderly? Do you clean up after yourself instead of littering the streets? Are you your brother's keeper? Do you respect other people's beliefs? The list goes on............If you are a human, you are a human, if you are a gorilla, google is right. 2 Likes |

4Horsemen:What exactly are you saying? So whites behave better? Black or white, we are all humans. If black people are given equal opportunities the same with the whites, we will excel. Nigerians are doing well all over the world. Even Google has black engineers. Now, if it were whites who this app labeled gorillas in sure there wouldn't be any of this kind of thing. But some blacks with low self esteem are bothered when a white man speaks, farts and makes a buggy app. Stop self loathing and love who you are. I'm sure you do the things that you listed in your post and many other blacks also do so therefore you and blacks are not gorillas and shouldn't be bothered about a buggy application. Cheers 1 Like |

He tweeted at Google asking what kind of sample images the company had used that would allow such a terrible mistake to happen. Google came under fire this week after its new Photos app categorized photos in one of the most racist ways possible. On June 28th, computer programmer Jacky Alciné found that the feature kept tagging pictures of him and his girlfriend as "gorillas." He tweeted at Google asking what kind of sample images the company had used that would allow such a terrible mistake to happen. Google’s chief social architect Yonatan Zunger responded quickly, apologizing for the feature. As part of the new Photos app, users’ photos can be tagged and arranged automatically based on objects in the photos. For instance, pictures of skyscrapers are all arranged in an album appropriately labeled "skyscrapers." The tag feature learns as it receives more data, refining its method for recognizing and categorizing objects. The feature is flawed, but categorization isn’t the only step in photography that companies have had trouble with. For years, Kodak used a coating on its film that favored Caucasian skin tones, making it more difficult to shoot darker skin. Nikon and other consumer camera companies have also had a history of showing bias to white faces with their facial recognition software. Zunger says that Google has had similar issues with facial recognition due to inadequate analysis of skin tones and lighting. "We used to have a problem with people (of all races) being tagged as dogs," Zunger says. Google attempted to fix the algorithm, but ultimately removed the gorilla label altogether. Zunger noted that the company is working on longer-term fixes that revolve around which labels could be problematic and better recognition of dark-skinned faces. Africans should fight back with innovative technology: be it software, applications or social gadgets. The moment we put ourselves under their banner by relegating our status. #we are not second to any skin colour, but equals# |

Done of you people think Google intentionally coded it to tag black people as gorillas? Wow. It's obviously an issue with the algorithm they used to code gorillas, probably based in the skin tone causing issues. Seriously, I don't think a corporation like Google would take such a stab just to be intentionally racist. |

What more can I say.. They want to keep damaging blacks but blacks too don't even know what they are and they don't want to know.
