RushmoreDrive - a black society search engine, or called a black Google
While performing a blog search on AskAlexia Blog search for new search engine, I’ve come across a blog post talking about the RushmoreDrive search engine - a search engine meant for the Black people.
The RushmoreDrive search engine is claimed to be a black Google, which also claims Google is too white. As white or brighter color is deemed to consume more energy on a CRT monitor? No, it’s about the black men don’t like to use Google, which is meant more for the white and Google has been accused of returning results that alienate the rest of the population.
RushmoreDrive was launched by Johnny C. Taylor, in April, which is made to return search results that target more to the black community. Yeah, RushmoreDrive has made it more relevant search results to black. Such as the black people search for “Whitney” mostly mean they’re looking for Whitney Houston. But if you perform the search for “Whitney” you’ll get the first result on Google is Whitney Museum of Art, followed by Whitney Bank, and then only either the 3rd or the 4th is Whitney Houston.
But RushmoreDrive does it differently, it returns search results favorable to the black. Searching for Whitney definitely returns “Whitney Houston” first and always return stuff that Black people like! (The search for “Whitney” on RushmoreDrive is promoted to the first position on the first page of search results, whereas Whitney Museum of Art and Whitney Bank have been demoted to 2nd and 3rd respectively.) The RushMoreDrive search engine is named after the North Carolina street where its offices are. Great for the black!
