CNN Piece Claims ‘Research’ Shows That There Is Racism Towards…ROBOTS.

You guys, I’m going to tell you about CNN’s piece, even though this is how I feel about it right now:

I’m already irritated after responding to Soledad O’Brien and Sally Kohn’s tweets earlier.

What I say to racebaiting morons like Sally Kohn:

I support Trump's policies, nominees, and track record of success. And I'll vote to continue them.

If you want to prove you don't support America's destruction, vote GOP. The GOP doesn't give a crap what color your skin is. https://t.co/E0tFMlh51i

No, what's racist is assuming this "handful of Black people" held up shirts because they were instructed to, and not because they THINK FOR THEMSELVES.

Once again, another Leftist shows off her racism and total lack of self-awareness. https://t.co/Q2gCyX1qK0

This is all just getting so ridiculous.

But this piece from CNN?  This is how I know we’ve reached maximum insanity.

I mean, just look at the headline.

Are. You. Freaking. Kidding. Me.

I read the piece in its entirety, because apparently I’m a masochist now, and I’m gonna give you some highlights, starting with the first sentence, which reads, “Have you ever noticed the popularity of white robots?”

Let me tell you the answer to that question.  NO I HAVEN’T BECAUSE I’M NOT A CRAZY PERSON.

The article goes on to prove just how racist movie robots are.  I mean, look at “I, Robot” and “Wall-E.”  The Honda Asimo robot?  White.  There are other examples.  And according to a study done by the Human Interface Technology Laboratory in New Zealand, “The bias against black robots is a result of bias against African-Americans. It is amazing to see how people who had no prior interaction with robots show racial bias towards them.”

This is an Actual Study, you guys.  And furthermore, the research team is apparently worried about what this means for future robots.  “If robots are supposed to function as teachers, friends, or carers, for instance, then it will be a serious problem if all of these roles are only ever occupied by robots that are racialized as White,” the study says.

Racialized is a word now.  When did that even happen?  Also – if we get to the point where robots are teachers, friends, and caregivers, robot racism is gonna be the least of our problems.

How did the study measure robot racism?  They had light colored robots and dark colored robots and showed them on a screen for a couple of seconds along with black and white people and study participants were told to “shoot” anyone on the screen that was holding a weapon.  And you guys, black robots not holding weapons were shot more times than white robots NOT holding weapons.

So obviously, people are racist towards black robots, and now the researchers are calling for robots to “represent the diversity of humans.” Why?  Because when robots take over positions of authority in the future, there will be “concerns about imperialism and white supremacy.”

Just let that sink in.  These researchers are more concerned about robot white supremacy than they are ROBOTS TAKING OVER POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY.

It didn’t occur to anyone doing the study, apparently, that weapons are typically black, and if you’re only seeing an image for a flash of a second, it’s gonna be a lot easier to mistakenly think you saw a dark object against a dark person/robot than it is to mistakenly think you saw a white robot holding a dark object.

The conclusion to draw here, obviously, is that weapons are racist against white people.  Why aren’t there more white guns?  Why are there so many weapons of color?
