If You Type N---- House Into Google Maps It Will Take You To The White House
If You Type 'N---- House' Into Google Maps, It Will Take You To The White House
President Barack Obama is no stranger to Internet racism, but this is just ridiculous: typing “nigga house” into Google Maps can land you at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
A screenshot of the glitch, confirmed by HuffPost Politics, was posted to Twitter by a user named Bomani Buckhalter.
“The screenshot first appeared from a fellow Howard University alum in our alumni GroupMe. I tested it out myself, and it started to spread rapidly in the other Howard University/DMV area GroupMe,” Buckhalter told The Huffington Post.
“It is location based, so [for] some of the students that are not currently in D.C., the search result was different. However, even if you're not in D.C., ‘nigga house Washington D.C.’ shows the same result," he added.
Dropping the “a” and opting for the proper spelling of the slur achieves the same results for users in the D.C. area:
ITS BECAUSE OF HIS POLICIES....IN NIGER?!!!?
