instant karma: Tennessee official who said KKK is better than Obama is out of a job

i apologize for my home state of tennessee.....




(CNN)A Tennessee corrections official is out of a job after he made several inflammatory Facebook posts, including one where he said the "the KKK is more American" than President Obama and another where he hoped the First Family was hanged.

David Barber was the deputy director of corrections for Shelby County for 17 years. The posts he made were on his personal Facebook page -- but the backlash was immediate when they came to light.

One said, "The KKK is more American than the illegal president!"

Another said, "I TRUMP wins and obummer cannot start martial law, he will run to his new mansion in thaArab world to hide. Hopefully the Muslims will eliminate him and mooshelle as queers."

What concerns me is if someone like this DOESN'T get fired.

But instead gets applause.

jurisdiction which sued to overturn the Voting Rights Act? The place that Johnny "Apple-cheeks" Roberts examined and decided that racism was no longer a national problem of sufficient seriousness to require protection of the voting rights of African-Americans?
In a truly just world, Roberts would have the racist tweet of that Tennessee fuckwit tattooed on his nutsack, just to remind him that maybe, just fucking maybe there's still perhaps a slight whiff of racism wafting through parts of this country.

that he would even think that President Obama would impose martial law when it's the Babyman in chief that would be most likely to use it being the fascist he is. Gawd these people are effing idiots.
