Google Maps is at it again – with Obama as the latest target of “third party vandalism” – a move which was certainly designed an instigator in order to incite racial division in America.

In April the White House was tagged on Google Maps as “Edward Snowden’s Lair”.Expect to see many more of these appearing on Google’s system…

The Switch

Someone on Google Maps just labeled President Obama a very bad word.

A reader points out that if you enter a search for “N***** king” — which contains a particularly offensive racial epithet for African Americans — Google Maps will point you to the White House. We tested the claim on Tuesday night and confirmed that, yes, this is a thing. It even zooms the camera in, automatically.

(For sensitivity’s sake, we partially obscured the search term and the autocomplete responses in the GIF below.)

What happens when you perform a nasty search on Google Maps.

Other reports suggest that you get the same result if you search for “n***a house.” We’ve tested this, as well.

A mounting list of such pranks has led Google to suspend people’s ability to submit edits to Google Maps for the time being.

Awww, what a SENSITIVELY written piece!

But if amerikans no longer have the guts to say or even write the word NIGGER, there's no hope.

"Someone on Google Maps just labeled President Obama a very bad word" -- what's bad about it??? It served a perfectly good role in the English language for ages till the thought police turned it into an evil god whose name must never mentioned or you'll DIE.

Yeah, I caught that too.

Apparently the author doesn't see the humor.

It's only a bad word when whitey uses it.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

You might not actually DIE, but you'll probably lose your job. And get thrown out your bridge club.

Oh, and you'll probably get thrown out of your church, too, because racism is one of the five deadly sins -- right up (or down) there with drinking, cussing, smoking, and skateboarding.
