Fox News Commenters Respond to Whitney Houston’s Death With Deluge of Hatred and Racism

I don’t even know what to say about this any more. There’s a real sickness running rampant in the right wing; the Fox News comment thread on Whitney Houston’s death is yet another disgusting deluge of outright racism: Singer Whitney Houston Dies at 48 | Fox News.

There are almost 5000 comments posted in the thread — these are from the first few pages. Notice that the racist bastards deliberately misspell their slurs or insert random spaces, so they aren’t caught by word filters. And many of the worst comments have numerous “likes” from other commenters.

A tragedy is when someones passes away from a terminal disease or something else that no one saw coming.Whitney is just an inferior lo w life ni gg er that needed to go,no tragedy,no loss.

[…]

Any death is a tragedy you heartless bástard.

[…]

not nignogs their death is a plus

I would gladly split the country between us and them. I wonder which side would have the most citizens?

was some sort of secret? With all of the code words used by the clowns on the tv comedy shows, I would have expected nothing less, and probably worse.

Dear God, I never dreamed how far down these people had gone. They've insulated themselves into their own little false info-sphere to the point that their hate has taken over any potential for redeeming human value.

That those post are out there for all time. Any future or present employer or anyone for that matter will be able to see them. Hopefully their hatred will come back to bite them in the posterior.
