Twitter Racists React to ‘That N*gger’ Getting Reelected
In case you were hopeful that Obama winning a second term was some kind of indication that racism doesn't really exist anymore, check out Twitter. The amount of hate speech, referring to the president as a "n*gger," a "monkey," calling for violence and for the south to "rise again" was depressing—and eye-opening. Here is incontrovertible proof (as if we needed it) that racism isn't just some imaginary talking point invented by liberals, but an actual problem. What's sadder is that many of these Tweeters seem to be in high school, who don't have the flimsy excuse of being raised in "another time." If you believe the children are our future, then our future is f*cked.

What's even sadder is it looks like quite a few young people there, thought our generation would be better than this.
They dont stand a chance for a better outlook when their bigoted parents pound those messages into their heads early.
But the reality is dude that this country IS changing, and this particular way of thinking is the minority. So these types can scream into the heavens all they'd like....but they're slowly fading away.

Not saying it's purely an American thing, I'm sure there would be a bunch of people like that here if we ended up with a black or Asian president.
Just disappointing to see. I'm sure it's better than it was a few decades ago. Guess you can only hope it gets better generation to generation.

I wouldn't say it is changing that much. This election was pretty close with the Republicans banging their heads on the ceiling. They just need to throw out the polarizing non issues and diversify their voter base. There is an overall mood shift to the right in this election and staying with conservative values. Republicans just need a moderate fiscal conservative candidate in 2016 and they will probably win.
