This week it was revealed by the NY Post that typing the words “n—er house” or “n—er king” on Google Maps returns the picture and location of the White House. A vile racist joke was played by computer geeks who understood the algorithms of Google and were able to exploit the weakness. Since its discovery, the company has issued the following statement:
“Some inappropriate results are surfacing in Google Maps that should not be, and we apologize for any offence this may have caused. Our teams are working to fix this issue quickly,”
Now if you type in the words “n—er house” in Google Maps the user is directed to “Underground Railroad TV” which is owned by Chicago resident Clifton Bradley. Rolling out spoke exclusively to Bradley who stated that he was surprised but not shocked by the attention. According to Bradley, “Underground Railroad TV” was started as a show on YouTube to educate Black people and get them to wake up. “We are seeking to wake people up to the new world order,” he said.
Bradley stated that he has been receiving multiple phone calls and emails inquiring about his YouTube show and the fact that “n—er house” lists “Underground Railroad TV.” “I pray my ancestors are pleased. Because now I am educating our people,” he said.
Bradley is also involved with the Shaymar Foundation, an initiative to get Black youth involved with media behind and in front of the camera. The mission is to develop young people to work in all aspects of media from camera work to production.
