While search engine giant Google launches a new ‘Inclusive Language’ function to eliminate politically incorrect words and expressions, it allows its executives to post virulently anti-Semitic language, comparing Jews to Nazis.
Breitbart The feature will include both warnings and suggestions as part of Google’s new assisted writing features in Google Docs. Typing in the word “landlord,” for instance, generates a warning the term“may not be inclusive to all readers.” It also adds the suggestion to replace the offensive locution with“property owner” or “proprietor.”
Use of “policemen” and “housewife” provokes a correction as well, and Google will urge replacing them with the gender-neutral “police officers” and “stay-at-home spouse.”
Curiously, the new software seems targeted only at a specific sort of communication infractions. For example, a transcribed interview with ex-Klu Klux Klan leader David Duke, in which he uses offensive racial slurs and talks about hunting black people, elicited no warnings, perhaps out of respect for similar language found in rap songs.
Google’s popular free online document editor raised issues with Martin Luther King Jr’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, suggesting that the civil rights leader should have replaced “the fierce urgency of now” with “the intense urgency of now.” Google Docs’ algorithm also took issue with President John F. Kennedy’s use of the phrase “for all mankind” in his inaugural address, and helpfully suggested swapping it for “for all humankind.”
Silkie Carlo, of campaign group Big Brother Watch, insisted that “Google’s new word warnings aren’t assistive, they’re deeply intrusive.” “This speech-policing is profoundly clumsy, creepy and wrong, often reinforcing bias,” Carlo said
What’s more, at the same time, a 2007 post is still up from Google’s Head of Diversity who said “Jews have an insatiable appetite for war and killing.”
Washington Free Beacon Google’s head of diversity strategy said in a 2007 blog post that Jews have an “insatiable appetite for war” and an “insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.” The comments were part of a longer meditation from Kamau Bobb, now head of diversity strategy at Google, that also slammed Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon that same year.
Bobb was at the time a research associate in technology at Georgia Tech, according to his LinkedIn. The post, titled “If I Were A Jew,” described how he believed Jewish people should view the Middle East conflict. “Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.”
Bobb identifies himself as a Google employee in his blog’s biography section.
From the Daily Wire:
“If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired,” Bobb began.
Throughout the post, Bobb compared Kristallnacht to the actions of the Israeli military in Lebanon and Gaza. “I don’t know how I would reconcile that identity with the behavior of fundamentalist Jewish extremists or of Israel as a nation,” he wrote, before adding, “It would be unconscionable to me to watch Israeli tanks donning the Star of David rumbling through Ramallah destroying buildings and breaking the glass.”
He then proceeded to dilute — as a hypothetical Jew — the Jewish claim to the land of Israel.
“My faith would lead me to believe that Israel is the homeland of my people,” Bobb said. “My intellect would convince me that it cannot be that simple,” he continued, before arguably justifying the terrorist actions of anti-Israel Islamic groups.

I am not going to say much yet, I shall just watch and see what happens. If ‘Google’ gets it wrong, I will deal with it. I was happy to read Elon Musk had gained control of ‘Twitter’. But before I use ‘Twitter’ I need to witness good ‘Freedom of Speech’ change.
Twitter has been boycotted by me since 2011 that will not change until ‘Twitter’ has changed for good.
Question is how long will Musk stay as an investor in ‘Twitter’?
BareNakedIslam says
He’s not an investor now, he’s the owner, once the sale goes thru.
allanivarsson says
Thank you BNI, that is good news.
BareNakedIslam says
Yes, the Leftists at Twitter and everywhere else are nearly suicidal over the Musk takeover
WildChild says
The meltdowns are delicious.
Classy Infidel says
I am amazed so many people still use Google for a web search. It is heavily biased and whatever controversial you might be searching for, good luck!
No, Elon Musk should stay away from Google as the operation of the place is huge and the staff would all have to be replaced.
allanivarsson says
C.I. I use Bing.
BareNakedIslam says
I like duck duck Go, it’s the only please I see BNI posts coming up all the time.

Oh and if Elon Musk wants to take over Google, I say godspeed to him..
That company is currently led by a filthy Hindutva pig named Sundar Pichai. Their algorithms are biased against Pakistan, and always show Muslims in a poor light. They even hate Indian Muslims which is unacceptable.
If Elon Musk were to take over that search engine along with YouTube, that would be great news. Elon’s really, really pro-free speech. That will give us Muslims the ammunition to fight back against the Hindutva trolls.
All you Modi lapdogs better watch out. We Muslims have been planning revenge on you for a very long time. And trust me, we won’t go easy on you. We will make Modi rue the day he was born.
Ghulam says
I’ve kinda started liking Elon Musk. He hates homosexuals, is pro-free speech, and won’t take nonsense from Modi’s online lackeys. They’re throwing fits now that Musk has taken over Twitter because their Prime Minister’s image and online reputation will no longer be protected. He’ll be exposed for the friggin moron he really is.
The Hindus were recently celebrating because they thought a dothead CEO named Parag Agarwal gave all of them control over Twitter. OUCH, you Kali mata lovers, it’s the Muzzies that are having the last laugh.
@Faithful Servants of Christ – come out my boy. Let’s celebrate. I know you hate these Hindutva pigs and Modi’s army of cyberbullies as much as I do.
Elon Musk probably hates Muslims too but I could live with that.
Linda Rivera says
Google makes no attempt to conceal their all consuming HATE for the HOLY ONE, our Wonderful Creator, and their DEMONIC HATE for Jews.
Cleavis Nowell says
Twitter is still nitwit bird pushing leftist organizations that real Americans hate. Re-instated, however twitter wants me to follow Dallas Morning News and similar trash.
