Cassie Wright, the current president of the University of Texas College Republicans, allegedly sent out an offensive tweet on Sunday.

On December 18, a tweet was sent from an account apparently belonging to Wright that read, "My president is black, he snorts a lot of crack. Holla. #2012 #Obama"

The account is now protected, so the tweet is inaccessible. Nevertheless, HuffPost's Elise Foley was able to capture the below screenshot of the tweet before the account was set to private.


-Am I reading racism in this? Making a big deal about nothing?

Repugs, the lily-white party, are racist assholes? nah, any serious observer already knows that.

[TeyshaBlue]

Boutons, the walking non sequitur, posts another straw man? Nah, any serious observer already knows that.

Not really.

[coyotes_geek]

A stupid comment to be sure, but no big deal.

Further proof tho that nothing good comes from tweeting.................

[Drachen]

stupid college student. You don't snort crack.

[boutons_deux]

crack has several meanings

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Honestly, do people have nothing better to do anymore than feign outrage at completely irrelevant, stupid comments like that??

Save your outrage for REAL RACISM. Its still out there. This shit is just college kid stupidity.

[Spurminator]

That's so unfunny, I have to assume it could be some kind of prank.

[Stringer_Bell]

They're College Republicans, they do these kind of things to please their elderly white masters. I don't see the big deal either, they are women so they're opinion doesn't matter anyway.

Just to put a finer point on how stupid this chick is:

Cassandra Wright, who goes by Cassie, was just elected president of the College Republicans a few weeks ago after Lauren Pierce stepped down over her own controversial tweet.

Pierce’s Tweet in November said, “I know it may be tempting, but don’t shoot President Obama. We need him to go down as the worst president in history." It was a comment for which Pierce later apologized before stepping down.

And just to put a finer point on how vacuous local news is:

The tweet comes just about a month after the previous president of the organization, Lauren Pierce, tweeted, "Y'all as tempting as it may be, don't shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we've EVER had! #2012." Pierce later apologized for the post, which was written hours after a man was arrested in connection with two bullets that struck the White House while the President was out of town.

The Austin American-Statesman reports that Pierce retweeted the "crack" post.

Per Burnt Orange Report, Wright's ascension within the UT College Republicans to the role of president was not due to a resignation by Pierce

Despite widespread calls to do so, former UT College Republicans President Lauren Pierce did not resign from office. On December 1st, the College Republicans held elections and voted current president Cassie Wright into office. Amazingly and disappointingly, Pierce still serves as secretary of the statewide Texas College Republicans.

[Spurminator]

I stand corrected. What a dumb bitch.

[ChumpDumper]

lol Y'all

[Winehole23]

The College Republicans of my own time at UT were dull, angry lunkheads; the 21st century version is comedy gold.

[Creepn]

There's no way Obama can go down as the worst president. If they think that then they need to re-take history class.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Well, he is black. Half black. The important half, ahem, and he did snort cocaine, by his own admission.

Outrage l:loll

You're doing a good job, Joe :toast

[redzero]

I didn't realize that President of the University of Texas Republicans was such an important position.

[ChumpDumper]

I didn't realize that President of the University of Texas Republicans was such an important position.What gave you that impression?

[scott]

Not a very good rap to start with.

Kids these days and their devil music.

[redzero]

The article and JoeChalupa's thread. I don't think "random idiot makes racist remark" is newsworthy, but I guess I'm wrong.

[ChumpDumper]

The article and JoeChalupa's thread. I don't think "random idiot makes racist remark" is newsworthy, but I guess I'm wrong.I think the stupidity of repeating the gaffe is noteworthy, and UT is local.

And Republicans are often in the news.

[DMX7]

It's national news now. It was on MSNBC. She's from San Antonio too, go figure.

[Wild Cobra]

There's no way Obama can go down as the worst president. If they think that then they need to re-take history class.
I think you're right. Pretty hard to beat Carter, but he is a close 2nd.

[ChumpDumper]

I think you're right. Pretty hard to beat Carter, but he is a close 2nd.Nixon and Bushie are currently in a fight to the death. Buchanan is getting aroused watching the tussle.

I'm not even going to attempt to understand your fantasies.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm not even going to attempt to understand your fantasies.It's just a joke tying together all three of the worst presidents. Obama will be remembered as pretty middling to below average.
