in 2012, and yes, I think his tweet is racist and alarming...

Saying "This is war", and telling "Obama and Black Lives Matter" people that they should

be 'Careful'?!?...That's outrageous and I hope he's being investigated.

Funny, I was just thinking of buying a "Black Lives Matter" T-shirt, but

since I'm white, I fear getting shot some crazy racist white person. Shit...When, if ever, will all this hideousness stop?
