First “People” result when you search “racist” on twitter.

Anyone still not sure if these companies have an agenda? Or that they don’t manipulate results based on politics?

The word “racist” means nothing anymore. Its been misused and diluted

I’d imagine there’s an algorithm and I have no doubt Trump is the most tagged person in posts that contain the word “racist”.. at least I’m guessing that’s how it works. I don’t have a Twitter. So it’s not surprising he’s the top hit.

I'm pretty positive Twitter has an agenda, but this result is likely explained by the algorithms.
What person do you think has "racist" attached to him more often, even if it's supporters saying he's not racist?

All other results have the word “racist” in their name.

Try google searching white people killed by police

The more I look into it, the more it seems like good news for Trump - he's getting lumped in with a ton of people who aren't racist either...
Net positive IMO

the term racist was altered this week.
it’s no longer about judging other by their skin color and treating others differently because of their skin color.
Now you don’t openly support kneeling during the national anthem or don’t publicly support their cause. Whatever their cause is.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong though.
Trump probably gets more replies, RT, etc than any other account, especially replies calling him a racist. So much so that the algorithm brings up his account before the most popular account with the word “racist” in the username/title.

Maybe the Twitter algos are just dumb...

even the score, start a #JackDorseyisracist

Yeah, I have no doubt media companies manipulate things, but this one seems plausible with other explanations too.

lol I was behind this theory until below the post below yours

I mean it totally could be a petty move by twitter as part of the ongoing war between the two. I won’t even think about dying on that hill.

I take that back, they're actually pretty impressive...

Do you really not understand why he would be the first result? Im not saying whether he is or isn’t racist but do you really not understand based on the rest of the results?

We love twitter, don’t we, folks? 
Posted on 6/4/20 at 5:54 pm to slackster
That’s awesome.
