No Action Taken by Twitter After Rapper Calls Black Breitbart Reporter ‘Coon’
Breitbart.com ^ | 7-20-2016 | Breitbart News

Rapper Talib Kweli and some of his more than one million social media followers repeatedly attacked Breitbart News reporter Jerome Hudson with racial epithets on Twitter, but faced no disciplinary action from the platform.

The 40-year-old Brooklyn rapper began his attack on Hudson by writing: "Who's this clown writing for Breitbart? My coon senses are tingling."

Hudson responded, "Why are you so quick to resort to name-calling, my brother? Can you not respect me as a man and attempt a civil conversation?"

To which the rapper responded, "No. I do not respect you as a man. You are here to enable white supremacist lies abt ppl of color. You suck."

Kweli, an ardent Black Lives Matter supporter, and a featured member of President Obama's Spotify "Summer Playlist," was reacting to an article written by Breitbart News' Sonnie Johnson and tweeted by Hudson.

Over the course of several days, hundreds of snarling Twitter trolls, led by Kweli, repeatedly referred to Hudson as a "coon" and attacked Breitbart.com, calling the news organization a "piece of s---".

Good thing he's not a flaming gay Conservative. He'd be banned for life.

Twitter is, like most major corporations, in the service of the wacko left.

“Can you not respect me as a man and attempt a civil conversation?”

Liberals will NEVER do that. No sense in even asking.

We need an alternative on the right.

Worse than that. It was deliberately developed to shout-down opposition and to organize Leftist mobs.

The technology is neutral. Who chooses to jump on it is self selecting.

Liberals will NEVER do that. No sense in even asking.

The advantage in asking is that it makes them openly display their disdain for anyone who thinks differently from them. It shows their 'open mindedness' to be an absolute lie.

Coon? Reminds me of learning my way around Northern Va after my parents moved to Loudoun County. So many cars with the word “Koon” on the back.

“Koon? Do they actually think the K fools anyone? Jeez! I grew up in Hanover County& lived in Georgia and have never seen anything as brazen as that!”

It took a few visits before I learned Koon was the name of a car dealership. One of those I am so stooooopid moments. :-)

It’s getting to the point where I no longer feel willing to share a country with these people.

I had a racoon tear through the screen and come on our screened in back deck...I ran it out...
The next day, I called an animal and pest control business to see if they could bring a live trap out...

I told the guy on the phone that a coon had ripped into my back porch...

He hung up on me...

He was a black man...

You are right. People in this country better get wise to the fact that the social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Google et al) are dangerous to our freedoms. They, along with the MSM, are leading a war against freedom of speech — i.e., speech that does not comport with their liberal ideology
