Blocking Racists For Fun and Spite

“mmmm burned nigger babies….delicious. That’s my favorite kind of baby!” - Konstantine

The “nigger” posts are coming out of the woodwork on Twitter, following Obama’s election. If you’re not quite ready for bed, why not consider spam-blocking some ignorant fucks?

From the Twitter Blog:
“When you block a spam account, we take note—when more people start blocking a spam account, we go to red alert. Blocking also puts that account out of sight and out of mind so you don’t have to see it anymore.”

NOTE: I’ve examined each of the following accounts fairly closely. They’re all “dirty”. But please avoid callously blocking everyone else you might find using the “N-Word”. In my searching and clicking, I found that at least half of those posting were not doing so out of racism or spite.

And just to be clear: Strictly speaking, I do support the right of these people to call Obama a “nigger” if that’s what floats their free speech boat. I consider this a kind of “argumentative prank”. They’re all free to retaliate, if they can.
