Today's Google Doodle Symbol Kinda Offensive To The Black Race by Amaechi5(op): 6:59am On Nov 24, 2015

Who saw today's Google Doodle as an offence to the black race, today Google celebrated 41st discovery of Lucy (homo sapiens fossil) in 1974 by Donald Johanson and Tom Gray in Ethiopia.The illustration showing a stylised theory of evolution from apes to humans that is human beings were apes before but if you look at the Google doodle it shows an ape that transformed into a man(black). To me this is kinda offensive as they still believe that Africans were apes before they transformed into humans.
My opinion though.

The earliest hominids were dark in colour. That's a fact. And facts should not be offensive to a sincere person.

First of all, the theory of evolution didn't state that we humans descended from apes. That's a misinformation and misunderstanding of the evolution theory. It's that we humans and apes share a common ancestry but we differentiated over millions of generations. Please read further on evolution, genetics, variations and heredity. You can get all these information freely on Wikipedia. And please, nobody is saying you must "believe" in evolution theory. You only need to understand the evidence that supports that theory.

Thanks.

LOL. You might as well say every other scientific and technological knowledge remain baseless and remain unexplained. Cos the explanation and the evidence for evolution, as well as for other scientific knowledge, is there for anyone to see especially in this information age.

Human life began in Africa.

Therefore, every human race came from blackman. Every other race is a product of blackman.

Adam and Eve were black people.

There's only one race. BLACKS.

Blackman created the world!!.

NB: I'm working on a song on this topic. It's smoking hot in the studio right now and already at mastering stage, as I speak. Check it out on iTunes by January 2016. The title would probably be "do you know?". Artiste name: Africason.

It's 2015. Do not be willfully ignorant. Evolution is now a theory with numerous applications. Do tell, how is it possible to apply a theory that is baseless like you claim? For clarity, evolution is applied today in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and even computer science. The advances made daily in those areas of science makes evolution anything but baseless and unexplained.

OP, in fact I personally find your post offensive. Why must you use a black font? Are you calling me back? In fact, I demand an official apology written with a white ink. What an affrontery and insult to dgnity as a person!!!

OK, on a serious note, we blacks should stop all these victim mentality, stop blaming others for our shortcomings and start taking charge of our lives.

Or better still, create your own google and draw a white man in the form of a white rat or anything that fancies you. After all person wey create google no get two heads.
