Alt-Right Racists Skirt TWITTER Ban By Donning Virtual Blackface (VIDEO)

What do you do when your avenue for racist, anti-semitic hate speech is being closed down by Twitter? If you’re a member of the alt-right, you create fake Twitter accounts. But wait, it gets better. You create fake “black people” Twitter accounts, presumably to throw Twitter off your hate-spewing slime trail.

At least this is the idea being promoted by Andrew Anglin, the founder of the alt-right hate site, the Daily Stormer.

According to the Guardian, in a post on Anglin’s site, he gave instructions to his readers for how to prosecute just such a ruse:

“Just go on black Twitter and see what they look like, copy that model. Start filling it with rap videos and booty-shaking or whatever else these blacks post. Read through their posts to get an idea of how they post. You need to be able to post in a manner which is indistinguishable from normal black tweeters.”

Please note that I purposely am not hyperlinking to this site or the specific blog post as I don’t want to drive any traffic toward his site and by so doing, inadvertently put money in to his pocket.

He continued with his odd, rambling warnings:

“We will introduce new ways of trolling, including IRL trolling, snailmail trolling, telephone trolling, hoaxes, shoe company endorsements, etc.”

Is it really a shock that with an internet troll set to move in to the White House in January as the nation’s president, that these RWNJs would feel emboldened?

As if to put a punctuation mark on that point, Anglin wrote:

“And look. We’re not done with Twitter. We’ve got a big campaign coming up. We already have nearly a thousand of these accounts with post histories, so it won’t matter that some of yours are going to be new.

Twitter is about to learn what happens when you mess with Republicans.”

I’m not exactly sure what pretending to be black on Twitter will do for these oddballs, but wouldn’t it be funny if they get trolled by other alt-righters?

In the spirit of Sun Tzu, here’s a video with some background information on the alt-right:
