Microsoft has recently been at the center of a whirlwind of controversy over a new app that critics allege is downright racist. On January 3, the company was granted a patent for technology related to its “Pedestrian Route Production” application, a tool that that the company says would navigate the user “safely through neighborhoods with violent crime statistics below a certain threshold.”

A little more than a year after the conservative-led state board of education in Texas approved massive changes to its school textbooks to put slavery in a more positive light, a group of Tea Party activists in Tennessee has renewed its push to whitewash school textbooks. The group is seeking to remove references to slavery and mentions of the country’s founders being slave owners.

@huffpostgay @slate @perezhilton Yes, being gay...
A few days ago, Perez Hilton posted excerpts from an interview in which former “Sex and The City” actress Cynthia Nixon stated that being gay was her choice. The statement ruffles the feathers of those who hold fast to the idea that the only way to be gay is if one is born that way. Lady Gaga comes to mind. But the reality is a bit more complex, and since complexity makes some people...

Howard Fineman: ‘I Have Never Heard Newt Gingrich... →
Howard Fineman notes that during last night’s debate, only one of the four candidates, who collectively mentioned the President 14 times (not including “Obamacare”), referred to him as “President Obama” at all. If you guessed it was “Don’t I look presidential?” Mitt Romney, you would be wrong. It was former Sen. Rick Santorum, who used the title 3 out of the 5 times he mentioned him.

I’m saying he’s appealing to an element in this party that will see President Obama as different from all other presidents that we have had.”

Gingrich: I ‘Don’t See’ Why Calling ‘Food Stamps’...
JUAN WILLIAMS: Speaker Gingrich, you recently said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said poor kids lack a strong work ethic, and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools. Can’t you see that this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?
GINGRICH: No, I don’t see that.
