Ten minutes after President Barack Obama announced he would be personally tweeting from his new Twitter account, the right began calling him a "n*gger."
Editor's note: It should go without saying that we find all these tweets and the image beyond abhorrent, as we noted in the article below. Some have complained to Facebook, which removed the article from my Facebook page.
Also, the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart very kindly linked to this article but some Post readers didn't understand that we oppose these vile statements of hate against the President, so now we're getting hate messages via social media.
Just want to be totally clear where we stand.
At 11:38 Monday morning, President Barack Obama sent his first tweet from the new White House Twitter account, @POTUS (President of the United States).
Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.
— President Obama (@POTUS) May 18, 2015
Here at NCRM, announcing the news about 45 minutes later, we joked, "Someone's going to have to break it to him that he doesn't get to keep the account when he leaves office..."
But back on Twitter, it took conservatives all of ten minutes to start engaging in despicable acts, by calling President Obama "nigger."
@POTUS get cancer nigger

That was the first, but hardly the last. A quick search this morning found 60 tweets that included @POTUS and nigger, like these:
@POTUS What do you call the first black president of the United States? >Nigger

@POTUS SO WILL THE PERSON THAT CALLED YOU A NIGGER BE CHARGED WITH A HATE CRIME, LIKE WHEN GAYS ARE CALLED FAGGOTS?

Of course, the "n" word wasn't the only ugly slur the right threw at @POTUS.
We counted eleven instances of tweets calling @POTUS a "fag," five with "faggot" or "faggots," and you can imagine the rest of the tweets from the right, like this one:
@POTUS #arrestobama #treason we need "ROPE FOR CHANGE" we still hang for treason don't we? pic.twitter.com/YGOQDRan9u

Just remember, liberals are "silencing" the right.
Yeah, right.
UPDATE:
You’ll never guess what happened 10 minutes after @POTUS joined Twitter. http://t.co/2Pq1WeVHqd

I knew the answer to my question when wrote. Of course this liberal propaganda. I know this is the same kind of crap the left pulls on all right radio personalities with Twitter. All the tweets come a few activists with some software that sends hundreds if not thousands of tweets.
I find it abhorrent that you would blindly blanket ignorant bigots as being from the right. When historically, those who have shown this level of contempt for people of color were in fact, on the left.
It is disgusting how the Obama adoring liberal left media as a whole have followed step with the administration and make just about everything about race.
From the First (not so much a) Lady, and her speeches which are oozing with racial tones, her incessant complaining how she has it so hard even being the FLOTUS. REALLY?? She has led a very privileged life yet has the audacity to complain.? Seems she has no problems reaching into the American pocketbook to fund her lavish vacays! Her and Barry make it a point, to consistently talk about the “racism” they face as African-Americans. IF that were the case, and America were so racist, would they be where they are today??? I think not!
How about some truth in * cough cough * reporting and call them what they are, ignorant racists?
LET’S PUT AN END TO THIS BEFORE THE ESCALATION BEGINS!
This is the kind of thing we must be vigilant a out and boldly as well as VERY LOUDLY speak out against. I am asking twitter to suspend each of these accounts that are engaging in such hate speech.
Will be interesting to see how this turns out.
