Holy shit, some people aren't just racist, they're unimaginably stupid, too.
Denise Helms, a 22-year-old California woman whose racist, threatening Facebook status about President Barack Obama went viral this week. Helms has since been fired from her job at a Turlock, Calif., Cold Stone Creamery, and the Secret Service is now looking into her comments.
"Another 4 years of this (N-word)," Helms wrote on her Facebook Tuesday night. "Maybe he will get assassinated this term."
UH-OH.
Sacramento's Fox 40 news crew caught up with an unapologetic Helms on Wednesday.
"I didn't think it would be that big of a deal," she said. "The assassination part is kind of harsh. I'm not saying like I would go do that or anything like that, by any means, but if it was to happen, I don't think I'd care one bit."
She then took to Facebook to defend herself, posting this idiotic rant in response to the criticism she received:
So apparently my post last night about Obama got onto Twitter and Fox 40 came and interviewed me cause apparently a lot of people in Sacramento think I'm crazy and racist. WOW is all I got to say!! I'm not racist and I'm not crazy. just simply stating my opinion.!!!"
Nooooooooo, you're not racist, you just called the President of the United States a "n***er". Nothing racist about that.
I think people give the "N" word too much power.
As for the assasination part of her comment.... not cool! The man IS a father and husband afterall and I loathe when people wish death upon someone else.
OK why is nigger a bad word when people who are African American use it but if you are not then O NO u you used the "N" word.
Being white I have been referred to as white bread....etc. but I don't go after Wonder Bread
I agree we give some words to much power as for her while what can you say but I hope she runs into some African Americans in a dark back alley.
I may not be the most politically correct person but some words I choice not to use but if you force me not to use them then I will make a point of using them.

I don't use the N word on principal.. but like you say its a bit of a pendulum swing.
You used to be able to go buy a colour or paint in the 'N****R Brown' Colour. Really, it was a shade of brown.
Also, I have issue with the stigma about the use of the word.. when it's used extensively by the african american community in converstations AND sold in the music industry.
I must admit TB.. Im really happy with the way the quote function works now.
REALLY happy. <sigh>. I guess what they say about small things and small minds really are true hey?
