When President Obama sent his inaugural Twitter post from the Oval Office on Monday, the White House heralded the event with fanfare, posting a photograph of him perched on his desk tapping out his message on an iPhone.
But it took only a few minutes for Mr. Obamas account to attract racist, hate-filled posts and replies. Posts addressed him with racial slurs, called him a monkey, and one had an image of the presidents neck in a noose.
The posts reflected the racial hostility toward the nations first black president that has long been expressed in stark terms on the Internet, where conspiracy theories thrive and prejudices find ready outlets. But the racist tweets are different because now that Mr. Obama has his own Twitter account, the slurs are addressed directly to him, for all to see.
One person posted a doctored image of Mr. Obamas iconic campaign poster, instead showing the president with his head in a noose, his eyes closed and his neck appearing broken as if he had been lynched. Instead of the word HOPE in capital letters as it appeared on the campaign poster, the doctored image had the words ROPE.

Is blocking him Hate?
I bet black activists made the tweets.
You see the Upper West Side “journalists” who adore the man, who hates them and their wealth. God, Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
Oh please.Gimmie a break. Normal Americans didn't do this. Left wing activists did. And like always, they're putting the blame on someone else just so they can point a finger and say "See how racist the anti-oboma people are? OMG. Look what they've done!".
"Never waste a manufactured crises."
Well, assuming he reads them, he has to hear the truth from somewhere no?
Yep. That was the plan. This whole thing is manufactured to make the country look bad and oboma the victim.
Yep. They did this. If there was a way to track all those who tweeteted the racist comments - the tracks would go all the way back to obomas people.
I agree.
LOL. Whose Twitter account doesn’t attract a huge number of hate-filled posts? Yet another example of Libs taking something normal and turning it into racism.
“The posts reflected the racial hostility toward the nations first black president...”
I don’t care that he’s half black. I care that he’s the ENEMY of America and all She stands for!
Obama has been on Twitter since 2013. Then the news was he had millions of fake followers.
So this is very likely a staged ‘hate crime’, since there are no current race riots.
Is anyone else suspicious of the fact that all this race rioting didn’t happen until some black leaders started to threaten to leave the Democrat party because Obama was doing nothing about the high unemployment in the black communities? Suddenly, every police shooting was national news.
Now we have alleged racial slurs on a phony “new’ Twitter account?
C’mon, the DNC is paying for the racist posts to make him look like a sympathetic victim.
This is so sad. I’m going to get out my teeny tiny violin and play something with big wet tears streaming down my face.
Tweeting is a waste of time, PERIOD!
Bingo. Obama learned politics in Chicago where a politician throws a brick through the window of his own campaign office and blames it on his opponent.
Obama learned a style of community organizing in Chicago where you know what the enemy secretly is. So your actions are just revealing what the enemy is trying to cover up.
