He clearly stated there's nothing tender about Tenderloin
is something like this in the works?
Why risk it? I'm not from the ghetto, I don't belong in the ghetto.

Funny how "Black" was the first race to come to your head...
...maybe it was keepin' me out of the Irish cesspools of Boston.
You're not missing anything, but you know the lames have to proclaim being offended.
That still doesn't really correlate to your post tho.Originally Posted by nawlinsjunkie

"The app has its share of critics, including Tammy Chin, author of Technology and the Logic of American Racism, who told AOLthat the app could be considered racist."It's pretty appalling. Of course, an application like this defines crime pretty narrowly, since all crimes happen in all kinds of neighborhoods. I can't imagine that there aren't perpetrators of domestic violence, petty and insignificant drug possession, fraud, theft and rape in every area."
The app is absolutely ludicrous, and Microsoft should be ashamed of itself. To echo Chin's sentiment, why don't we have an app for young black males who are accosted by the police in New York City every day (and other areas across the country) that allows them to map blocks where police pull over or stop people most frequently?"
Agreed.

Tammy Chin countered the point of the app with a totally different facet of perceived racism. She didn't make a link between black people and the "ghetto" like you did. She didn't say "This app is racist to black people".
you late, they already have apps that locate checkpoint positions.Originally Posted by sillyputty
They need one to find skeezers

Um...she was talking about a scenario where the roles were reversed for black people (where they could have a map of where injustices occur instead of people having a map of where black people in the "ghetto" live).Originally Posted by DIOR PAINT
