“Ghetto Tracker” was an app that helped you avoid dangerous slums. Now it’s gone.

Whether or not it worked right, we all know why it was forced to go away.
There's still the tried and true method: "Roll 'em up!"

I don’t need an app for that. Am I anywhere near Martin Luther King Blvd?
Then I’m in ghetto land.

Cities across the nation have graciously addressed this problem by naming their most dangerous street "Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard."
Just don't go anywhere near it an you will be fine.

I have a hard time getting worked up for a product that didn’t work, and was built with incorrect specifications, and was inherently bigoted if implemented as specified.
On the other hand, avoiding Greenwich Village may not have been a mistake.....
If someone puts out an app that redlines small areas based on the number of crimes reported in those areas, then we’ll see if it gets taken down.

Yeah, I used to look for a U-turn when I started seeing bars over the windows, but anymore that’s not quite as uncommon.

Maybe some enterprising software engineer could develop an app called Avoid Obama’s Sons...

That kind of app would have saved lives. But PC is about sacrificing innocent lives on the altar of political correctness.
You have to do your homework before you leave home. Look up crime statistics. Look up the racial makeup of a neighborhood. There is a very strong correlation between crime and race. This is not disputable. Stay away. Today, it’s open season on Whites.
How about creating a map app and having it access the crime statistics websites? It would merge the two and show you crime rates on a map. This is not a hard app to create. Unfortunately, it too would be shot down.

What really bothered the left was that the app helped innocent people avoid getting raped, robbed and/or murdered.
The left wants equal opportunity rape, theft and murder.

Take a left on the Nelson Mandela Boulevard, mister, right past the ALL-NITE CHECK CASHING & LIQUORS. And when you get to Malcolm X Drive, "Kiss your ass goodbye!"

Actually, the pawn shops that I see nowadays are located in slightly better neigborhoods, so I go by the beauty parlors now to orient myself.
