Twitter can be a great place to network, connect, and laugh out loud in real life, or Twitter can also be a microcosm of all that’s wrong in the world.

A story, which first appeared in the NewCivilRightsMovement.com, unfortunately shed light on an inconvenient truth: being born in black skin in America is still a major problem for some people.
@POTUS What do you call the first black president of the United States? >Nigger
