Dude. I get it.

If you don’t think so then explain instead of just saying duck.

There were anti-Trump ads of all stripes running on FB using the same algorithms back in 2016. There's no magical checkbox in the FB Ad Manager that lets you pick and choose what race to target either. If the Democrats had been smarter they would have been running ads across the state of Wisconsin that Hillary loved them and was going to teach them to code.

The mindboggling part is that it took 4 years for someone at The Guardian to realize that a 12 year old can steal mom's credit card, set up a FB Ad Manager account and start running ads with footage of Hillary Clinton calling black kids superpredators.

I guess he either thinks it’s ironic because Hillary isn’t even running or it’s offensive to try to suppress black voters.

Google modifies search results by location. And It’s not like black people are spread out evenly.

That, and there was a literal race/ethnicity checkbox during the process of making Facebook ads that they've since removed.

Incorrect. There was something called Affinities that tried to map out people's cultural interests based on pages they followed and the like. Targeting people directly by the race they identify as has never been possible. Even with FB's geographical targeting you could only do broad coverage based on X miles around a center point.
