CNN got ridiculed for a tweet and an article exploring racism toward robots.

CNN was taken to task on Twitter after promoting an article examining whether or not robots are racist.

CNN’s verified Twitter account: “Have you ever noticed the popularity of white robots? The reason for these shades of technological white may be racism, according to new research.”

Are they joking?

My car is white. I guess I’m a racist. Ivanka Trump bought a white puppy and she was declared to be a racist. When white snow falls from the sky, I suppose God will be deemed a racist too. These people are really unhinged.

Hey @CNN, someone must have hacked your account. Not even you guys could come up with something so stupid. #RacistRobots https://t.co/k27qMh467f

Since robots are slaves, CNN thinks they should be black, not white. https://t.co/Gqyhyb8UXQ

I’ve actually noticed the popularity of a LOT of white things!! Toilet paper, baby diapers, napkins, envelopes, paper, kleenex, aspirin, walls, mayonnaise, cauliflower, plastic bags, I even see WHITE CARS……We’re surrounded by it!!!! HELP!!!!!!!

no. Normal people do not care about the color of a robot. Only race obsessed racists would even make such a moronic statement

I can’t count the number of people who told me “I’ll never buy a Playstation 4 unless it comes in white because I want to stick it to minorities.”

I can’t count them, mostly because they don’t exist.

The funny thing is, it took two idiots to write this article!

Since robots do as instructed without backtalk or pay, I can only imagine your reaction if black robots were the most popular variety…

In other news, leftists have officially jumped the shark and declared white inanimate objects as “racist” now.

For heavens sake, can’t you go 1 day w/o digging for another reason to DIVIDE our country? I don’t think you can! I don’t believe you are capable of not mentioning white, racism or right-wing for just 1 day. You have your heads so far up the left’s hiney you won’t even hear me!

Yes, everything is racism. The word has lost most of its meaning as it is through overuse and misuse. Your effort to completely eradicate its value is interesting, especially for a bunch that loves to feign wokeness.

I wonder if the robot has been appropriately programmed to feel bad about its white privilege? In other news, having the color of white included in a box of crayons is racist. I’m told the white crayon feels appropriately guilty so there’s that. #liberalismisamentaldisorder
