The actual failure when you fail occurs when you fail to study and know the reasons for failure and the ways to success, all situated in failure.

Why should I care if someone calls me a gorilla, when I know I am not. As far as I am concerned only someone who is disabled, deaf, dumb, blind, et al should be upset if he or she is in anyway insulted, because they had their way they would be able. If someone insults me because of my skin tone, as far I as I am concerned he or she is just being silly, and I won't feel bad. The only reason to feel bad is IF I WISHED I WAS WHITE, which I don't. If the tin pain you too much insult the guy back, pure and simple

[b] I love this comment but I still the outcry not because of inferiority complex but because so many people have been killed and subjected to unfair treatment because they are black.[b\]

now you see the effect of pouting lips.

Hehehe can't STOP laughing.. it's the girl's fault, see the way she do her nose like something is seriously smelling (wawuyar yarinya kawai)

Stylz69:
Probably if she kept a normal face; it wouldn't have done that. That duck lip pout didn't do her any favors... I'm just saying tongue Should have tagged her as duck

No. She was actually still tagged the same way in other pictures where she was not making such a face. That is explained in this article, among others:

etat Black people. The caucasians are abusing us. But they, caucasians-white people are the REAL MONKEYS. About 40% of Caucasians are born with TAILS. And they have RHESUS MONKEY D.N.A in their blood. They are created with Animal blood by Demons. It is TRUE FACT. IT IS REAL. search it on http://www.google.com for more Information

You are not seeing the bigger picture here, Did you read about facial recognition and tagging as described by the write up ? The bigger picture is google now reserves the right to lift picture you post on internet tag you and label you . Soon, everything about everything will be in google's servers , call me paranoid but isn't that the objective of The New World Order ?

we really need to grow and start being absolutely independent to avoid such embarrassments as it is now and also in the future...our race should prove to the whites that we are better and that we can do just about anything...let us look inwards and act in the best of ways so that someday we would be the ones to call the whites maybe "white rats"...we need to solve the huge problem of retrogression plaguing the black man...we just have to...when i look at my country Nigeria i feel so bad and downhearted at what we do to ourselves, how we suffer in amidst much resources..tribalism,religious bigotry,corruption at its peak,greed, and gullibility all killing us and we seem not to know how to get out of it.. sad sad..may God help our race..

From time to time our enemy taunts us and then pretends as if it was a harmless mistake, do not be deceived this is what is known as psychlogical abuse , it is designed to make you remember your place in a world run and controlled by white supremacists. The more someone taunts you the more the chance he might break your will. Many black people actually believe that whites are superior to us and some on this forum are defending the racists who programmed an app to associate a wild animal with black people. My question to the guy who claims to know about artificial intelligence, who created the data that associates black people's faces with gorillas?

You are an idiot. You and your entire generations are gorillas. The white man is the USA that walked into a black church and shot dead 9 innocent black people is a saint right? The white cops that are shooting dead innocent black men in the USA are saints right? Bloody azzwipe like you that ought to have been aborted right after conception. Since we are gorillas, you are a bloody orangutang for registering on a black site and relating with black people online.

I am not surprised. White people cannot live without racism. It is in their genes. They just can't help themselves. They do all this intentionally and then give a half baked apology - that is not even from their hearts - when black folks call them out on their bullshyte.

@Post

Then tomorrow some stupid people will wonder why some of us are not so fond of white folks. It is not because of their skin color. After all, they did not create themselves. It is rather because of their racist attitude towards blacks.
