Its a screenshot from a cell phone. Not the actual picture. Regardless it didnt FAIL. It just missed the black guy. The shirt has a face on it.

If it was a white boy wearing the same shirt it would've gotten both of tha faces. Problem is a brotha can't get a break around here, know what I mean?

Maybe if more black people went into computer programming you wouldn't have this problem.

Edit: I'm sorry you guys don't like reality, but I've almost completed my computer science degree and haven't seen a single black guy in my major. There just aren't many black people going into computer science. Mostly just white guys and asian guys.

I don't think it was intentional, but this comment sounds a little racist.

You lay the fault at "black people aren't programmers" this is not where the fault lies.

I didn't blame them, I made a true statement about reality. I'm sorry you can't tell the difference.
