As if to personify the panic brought on by President Obama‘s demographically overwhelming reelection victory, a California woman named Denise Helms took to Facebook Tuesday night to commiserate with fellow embittered white people, posting “Another 4 years of this nigger. Maybe he will get assassinated this term.”
She was subsequently fired from her job at Cold Stone Creamery, but insisted to a local news crew that, although “the assassination part is kind of harsh,” she’s not a racist. Asked “But you equate the President with the n-word?” Helms replied, “Sure.”
Helms told Fox 40, outside her soon-to-be former place of employment, that “the assassination part is kind of harsh … and I’m not saying I would go do that by any means, but if it were to happen, I don’t think I would care one bit.”
She also claimed that she wasn’t a racist, and that she has friends of “many different nationalities.”
