Google has been under fire over since Tuesday over a photo of Michelle Obama that resembles a monkey that appeared in google searches. The photo was initially reported about two weeks ago to google. Google went through the process of removing the photo, but then it appeared on another site and google let that one go.
Then this statement appeared from google: "Sometimes Google search results from the Internet can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries. We assure you that the views expressed by such sites are not in any way endorsed by Google."
The photo may be shocking and offend some people. To see the photo, click here.

Google claims to have no responsibility in this but, continues to make these pictures available. Ok Google what's really going on? Beware African Americans this is what they really think of us.
if the image is there its because it's real, yes she DOES look like a monkey to millions of Americans and to me. Fact. Look at her jaws. thanks to google for not allowing filtering and other data manipulation whch would go against google's data and search integrity. Google does NOT have to apologize
