Time to start liking a whole bunch of fake stuff!

silenius4354d ago

What does that even mean... "black"??!!
so a black person likes a very specific type of things that NONE of the other races do???
This headline is so wrong in every possible way...

@silenius

Certain types of people, yes including of race, GENERALLY have some similar interests to each other. And since it's facebook, its generalizing mostly about black people in non-African nations, where they tend to be minorities and find identity in their race.

It's really nothing to be all that shocked or offended over. This is how businesses do research to best serve customers; with generalities.

How does it even tell what race I am? Do people of different colors (no offense to anyone) like different stuff?

SilentNegotiator4353d ago

They probably start by checking your profile picture.

This is why I don't use Facebook for personal stuff.

Speed-Racer4354d ago

I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to draw the line with regard to privacy on the web.

@SephirothX21 - It's so hard to be a pedo and live a private life these days. Where have all the morals gone?

People put themselves way too high. Who is interested in this information anyway?

Qrphe4353d ago

Everyone trying to make a revenue off of advertising.

There is nothing wrong with not having Facebook.

mcroddi4354d ago

Wow. Seems super intrusive.

In the mean time , Google already found out Facebook users are gay.

RetrospectRealm4353d ago

The poster originally had the title just saying 'gay' or 'black', but he thought he'd throw in 'smart' to seem less suspicious.

Vyralize4353d ago

How? Is there something wrong with a gay or black man?

Vyralize4353d ago

The words "black", "gay" and so on are only bad because of the meaning you put into the word. I don't see anything wrong with being black or gay, so why should it make the title suspicious. Check yourself, bro.
