Soulja Boy Goes on Racist Twitter Rant Against Media

Soulja Boy Tell Em may be a little too comfortable posting his thoughts on his Twitter page. The Atlanta native, who has around 976,000 followers, recently went on a racist rant against the media's portrayal of his music and image.

"Water down my music and my appearance and make me look like something I'm not," he twittered. "These crackers don't know who the f--- I really am!!!! Then I get signed, this is where my dream slowly died... these crackaz wanna' criticize a n--ga. Take REAL sh-t and turn it to trash. Like why? Like really. My music dream was the sh-- 2 years ago before I was signed. It was everything I could ever imagine.

"Yeah I said f--- all of ya'll," he continued. "I'm taking my money and leaving. Gonna' go blow kush and live my 2nd dream. This rap sh-t [is] lame now."

The rant has since been removed and replaced with more positive tweets like "follow Soulja Boy! It's the new trend," and "just got off stage shout out to everybody in Columbia, SC."

The 18-year-old credits a conversation with singer- turned-actor Tyrese Gibson. "Just got off the phone with @Tyrese4Real. He gave me some real good advice," he wrote. "Thanks homie."

Soulja Boy is currently promoting his second release '!SouljaBoyTellEm' and will drop his third album 'The Deandre Way' later this year.

WTF???? Had this been a white rapper screaming bigger this & bigger that his ass would be in a heap of **** right now!! It's ridiculous what the US has come to & we "white" people just sit back & take it so we don't offend anyone! For Christ sakes we had to change our damn state flag (GA) bc them dumb bastards thought it was a racist gesture tirades them.....hello stupid asses news flash there were black soldiers in the civil war too & black slave owners maybe not many but some & do u think it was white people in Africa or anywhere else in the slave triangle selling slaves back then!!!!??!! Ummm think not!! Buy a damn history book!! & if most didn't act stupid, be lazy, have a bunch of kids, & sit at home collecting welfare while driving a $50,000 car then maybe we wouldn't judge!!! We are called racist but how many ALL white college are there? Or TV channels??? Hello BET & STARZBLK!!! Or a Miss Caucasian American beauty pageant? I can go on for freaking ever!! & we are all AMERICANS so WTF is up w African American or Pan American or Asian American???? It's ridiculous!!! We owe you nothing slavery was ended like a 150 years ago morons get a job & move on!!! If we all start standing up for one another & start being "proud to be white" & protesting ALL of these ALL black or any other ALL "one color" discriminations we only have ourselves to blame & things like this will keep happening & shitty, no talent rap artist will keep talking **** & not a damn thing will get done about it!!! & if u r offended by this don't waste your time commenting back because there is NO WAY possible I
Could care any less!!

Hey! He can't call us white people crackers! Only we may call each other crackers. Now, replacing the -er with -a is acceptable, as in cracka. That's alright. But blacks cannot refer to white people to their faces or on Twitter as "crackas" or else we'll get really offended. Only use it behind our backs. I hope this primer on the use of "Cracker" has been helpful.
