HUFFPO fires just hired racist social media editor

How did they not vet this woman?

“Y’all wonder why we stereotype and shoot your ignorant asses,” one post said. “You wanted a race battle in this country, you got it! But in the end remember who makes the money in this country.”

Literally everything else she posted is way more hateful and I was surprised at how depraved she is!

Truly a terrible, horrible human being.

12. Absolutely nothing she said was tame. I could have used a more appropriate word there.

Her use of direct, hateful all caps slurs just stood out to me as the most eye catching horrible stuff.

My previous post title didn't mean to downplay your OP, and I apologize if it came across as belittling. Looking back at my previous post, I can see I seem a little aggressive. I was just still in shock that people continue to post like this on social media for the world to see.

I sincerely hope she gets all the negative repercussions that come with being a piece of garbage like her.
