Michelle Obama racist image sparks Google apology

???????????????????WHY???????????????????

Quote:
Google has apologised over a racially offensive picture of Michelle Obama that appeared when users searched for images of the US first lady.

The image came top of the Google Images results for "Michelle Obama".

Google placed a notice over the picture titled "Offensive Search Results", saying: "Sometimes our search results can be offensive. We agree."

Later on Wednesday the image dropped from top image results, though the BBC understands Google did not remove it.

Instead, the image appeared to have been removed from the site that originally published it, and was therefore no longer appearing prominently in Google searches.

The White House has declined to comment.

Users who click on the advertisement above the image were directed to a statement from Google, which explained that its results "can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries".
I finally found it, but it keeps disappearing form the results.

At the moment its here

I'm not gonna post it on the cellar.
