YAHOO FINANCE DROPS THE “N” WORD | “BLACK TWITTER” GOES BERSERK! | @wazzuptonight
Los Angeles, CA – Yes, we thought the exact same thing you’re thinking right now when we saw this – “No way, this photo had to of been Photoshopped!”. Well this image was NOT edited, this is the real deal Holyfield! Yahoo Finance released a tweet last night about President-elect Donald Trump and in it included a “N” bomb, which in turn has set off an explosion nationwide.
The Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacy organization that down right hates black people, were avid supporters of Donald Trump throughout his presidency campaign. The KKK held Trump rallies, spoke out to the press on many occasion regarding their backing of Trump, and even plastered Trump’s face on the front page of their newspaper with the headline “Make America Great Again!” (Trump’s campaign slogan).
This was not a good look for Trump. Between that and some of Trump’s dicey remarks throughout his campaign, the end result was many people of color slapped a racist label on the billionaire. Therefore when Yahoo Finance tweeted out “Trump wants a much n*gger Navy”, the first thing that came to mind for some was – yeah, I’m sure he does!
Is Donald Trump in charge of the Yahoo Finance twitter account?

Surprisingly, a majority of African-American Twitter users (which is comically referred to as Black Twitter) weren’t upset at Yahoo Finance’s tweet. Instead, Black Twitter seized the moment and decided to make a mockery of the blunder.

The individual responsible for Yahoo Finance’s official Twitter account, waited nearly 20 minutes before deleting the “N*gger Navy” tweet! An hour later, Yahoo Finance tweeted out an apology to the public.
We deleted an earlier tweet due to a spelling error. We apologize for the mistake.
