Some people just can't stand a black man in the white house. Grow up. This is the 21st century you know? Twitter certainly being 21st century media, Floating Sheep maps Racist Tweets in Response to President Obama's Re-election.

A friend of mine just posted this elsewhere, and I've been perusing it. And if you want to be more depressed, you can go look at jezebel's gallery of post-election racist tweets.

Sigh.

MSM is required to report this under a headline that reads "Racist Tweets By Racist Twits."

Or at least Salon is required to report it like that.

There are still a lot of racist assholes in this country...

and at least one more in the Yucatán, apparently.

"racist hate tweets" is a great phrase.

I'd love to see this graph done in general, not just post-election or about the WH.

Ugh, the equally hideous counterbalance to the "ima pistol whip all white people if Romney wins" tweets trotted out by the other side. A pox on both their racist houses.

Not so shocked to see Washington on there, sadly. Interesting post, thanks.
