Zennie Abraham Is Oakland Blogger, One Of 1st Bloggers At 2008 DNC Convention; Google Covers It Up

Zennie Abraham Is Oakland Blogger, One Of 1st Bloggers At 2008 DNC Convention; Google Covers It Up
Oakland Blogger Zennie. This continues to be nutso and it should not be legal. The Google Search Engine has been programmed to cover up the fact that I, Zennie Abraham, Oakland’s Blogger, and the first to make a news blog in Oakland, California, was one of the first bloggers in the history of the Democratic National Convention to be invited to cover that historic event. Yes, I, Zennie Abraham and my blog Zennie2005.blogspot.com AKA Zennie’s Zeitgeist , was one of 128 credentialed blogs for the multi-day event at the Pepsi Center in Denver. You can see my vlogs from DNC 2008 (sponsored by Lennar) here at Zennie62 YouTube. It’s totally crazy that someone at Google would be charged with the task of trying to erase from view my history. But that’s what Google has done and tried to do again more recently with my Oakland News Now Blog when it was just called OaklandNewsNow.com. This is what the East Bay Times wrote about my achievement thanks to Barbara Grady: OAKLAND — As the Democratic National Convention gets under way in August, Oakland blogger Zennie Abraham will be on the convention floor with a microphone poised to pick up discussions of race, predatory lending, infrastructure improvement and other issues of concern to Oakland. Abraham and his Zennie’s Zeitgeist blog at zennie2005.blogspot.com have won a coveted credential from the Democratic National Committee to cover the convention as a blogger journalist. He was selected late last week as one of 124 bloggers to receive credentials from an applicant pool of more than 400. Zennie’s Zeitgeist is usually about Abraham’s take on political issues of the day — often the Democratic presidential contest — with a smattering of posts about pop culture and sports. The Democratic National Committee said its criteria in choosing which bloggers to let into what no doubt will be a crowded and history-making Denver convention are that they cover state and local politics and have a high daily audience based on statistics from Technorati, a Web site that tracks blogs. Among applicants whose sites met those criteria, the committee looked for blogs that “stand out as an effective online organizing tool and/or agent of change.” This Is Tech-no Racism And Should Be Illegal To Do I repeat… Why Is Google Trying To Exclude Mention Of Me, Zennie Abraham? This is part of a larger problem I have experienced since I started online content creation, and continues to this day, but with Twitter. In 2011, this constant desire to diminish or erase any evidence of my existence was lampooned by then-ValleyWag Editor Owen Thomas in a look at the New York Times: https://ift.tt/31WFJmM Techno-racism Is The 21st Century Problem That Must Be Stopped It is easy for someone who is a Google or Twitter engineer or any other tech company, to write code that excludes search for certain people, or even types of people, especially by race. For the wrong-doers, it’s easy to claim they’re not racist because, for them, it does not follow what is racist to them: open name calling and any action that points to an obvious expression of racism. Their moves are reflective of institutional racism and should be ruled illegal by Congress. Stay tuned.
