Ghetto Tracker!

Stock photo of a White family surrounds the Ghetto Tracker digital application. The application stirred the internet with its blatant admission of racism.

The controversy surrounding a digital app that tells those god-fearing White people that the "hood" is no place for you to be. Once again pimping outrage over some asshole's digital bigotry.

Obviously he wanted to bring White folks up to date on the situation of the Black neighborhoods.

We're no saints. I live in a freaking area where you got people crossing in the middle of a busy road instead of walking within 400 feet of a crosswalk. I live in an area where you may see a gas station that has no healthy foods for its customers. I live in an area where there's no grocery store and it's considered a food desert because there's no fresh (naturally grown) vegetables or fruit. I live in area where gun shootings are rising and lawmakers aren't putting one foot forward to passing reasonable gun control.

Did I mention my state representatives are Republican and my local U.S. Congressman is a Republican?

Did I mention my city is ran by an independent who ran as a Republican?

Did I mention my state is ran by a Republican?

So if you want to say it's a Democrat Plantation, fine. Say whatever you want, but as far as it goes, it's not a Republican or Democrat problem, it's an American problem.

Income inequality and redlining put us in the situation we're in. It's not worth explaining to those who are two feet in the manure over social injustice.

All I know is that President Barack Obama is trying to get things done but he's dealing with one of the worst legislative bodies in the history of the country. It's controlled by Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Democrats in the Senate. Neither have passed much other than an increase in their salaries. They've taken more vacations than I have. And I earned most of my paid time off.

The freedom of speech allows individuals to create a mapping device devoted to saying that "one area" is either too "ghetto" or in other words "a NIGGER's paradise!"

You happen to notice that this stuff came right after President Barack Obama won reelection.

Now that its out in the open, I am guessing that someone will create "MY RACIST WHITE FRIEND" just to piss off those conservative agitators in the junk food media.

1. Beta Ghetto Tracker

   This site is gone. It's not worth the trouble.

Aw shoot! I was going to find out how this piece worked? I am guessing it was a mapping device that tracks an area where a White person felt threatened. They log on to Ghetto Tracker and pinpoint that area.

Say if they're lost off the main road and turn onto let's say Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Then they see the local gas station and there's either a bulletproof glass covering the counter or a local liquor store within two blocks of each other. The person logs to Ghetto Tacker and there you have it.

So I guess the trouble is the social networks getting a hold of the creator's personal accounts.

Here's my favorite hangout besides Journal de la Reyna. I have to thank the guy who created Public Shaming, a blog featured on Tumblr. It collects the most outrageous and outright racist themes from those who uses the social networks to attack a group. It's a counter-balance to that Turd Flipper's Twitchy website.

That along with AddictingInfo and I have my day's worth of media sanity!

Real laugh riot! A business that has bulletproof glass (riot shield). That's when you know you're "ghetto"!



So you see a little back tail of two Black men! So what? They want to flaunt their asses out! That's ghetto!



A couple of children take a photo of them being in a trash can full of water. Can't afford the $100 membership fee for the YMCA. Someone wanted to post it to the family to show how they could fill a trash can full of young Black children. I guess that's "ghetto" too!



Watermelon flavored Oreos, a spinning rim on the grave of a deceased person, Lil' Wayne and that character Donnie from The Wild Thornberrys. I am assuming that's ghetto.



A mirror literally glued to the side of vehicle. I mean how ghetto is that?

Wow, over 1,600 people like this website.

We Black folk need to learn how to ignore these assholes. This asshole isn't worth a keystroke.

The website tried to clean up the act by calling it Good Part of Town.

Now a good part of town.

Don't let that fool you! That's a stock photo of a Black family.

Gawker reports that GhettoTracker's "ghettos" aren't identified based on mugging statistics or murder rates—or any hard data at all, really. Instead, "ghettos" are determined by the site's users and delineated by their prejudices. It's a new, crowd-sourced twist on stop-and-frisk: Just drop a little red dot anywhere you think upstanding folks should stop-and-avoid.

But the racist and classist implications of the site were lost on its creator. Yesterday afternoon, he relaunched GhettoTracker as "Good Part of Town," and shuffled the deck of stock photos to include Black and Latino families, as if that made it better. The Twitter and Facebook accounts for GhettoTracker have also been deleted. Although not before someone screengrabbed GhettoTracker sharing an article about "ghetto booty" on Facebook.

Back pain gave this woman a ghetto booty!

GhettoTracker founder Casey Smith is the president of a Florida-based company named Tallahassee Web Design, citing a link—later deleted, but visible in the cached version—to the company.

In response to questions from Gawker, citing "borderline threatening responses" to his innocent plan to literally ghettotize entire neighborhoods, the website's creator would only identify himself as a man who is, "30 something and based in Tallahassee, Florida."

Recently, the startup sector has also become enamored with the idea of apps that can police the streets (like, say, a neighborhood watch). On PandoDaily—which yesterday called Ghettotracker "the worst site on the Internet"—founder and editor-in-chief Sarah Lacy has argued that citizen-reported crime in the "very urban neighborhood" where she lives is the "killer feature" behind the social network Nextdoor, which has raised $40 million.

What's your thoughts on "GHETTO TRACKER"?
