Fake Black Trump Supporter On Twitter Forgets To Crop Out Google Search For His Profile Pic, And It’s Cracking People Up

With the upcoming presidential election in the US, the tension is running high. Especially on Twitter, where some (fake) Trump supporters are endorsing the Republican candidate in the most ridiculous fashion you could imagine.

This week, Twitter has already suspended a bunch of accounts claiming to be owned by Black Trump supporters. But one of the accounts has gone viral for quite a hilarious reason—apparently, someone who set up the account forgot to crop out the part of the screenshot that shows the Google search. The search read—drum roll, please—Black man photo. The major facepalm moment has certainly cracked a lot of people up, but nonetheless, such actions are still worrying.

Dr. Darren Linvill, a lead researcher for the Clemson University Media Forensics Hub, told Washington Post: “It’s asymmetrical warfare. They [the accounts – ed.] don’t have to last long. And they are so cheap to produce that you can get a lot of traction without a whole lot of work. Thank you, Twitter.”

    Recently, one fake Twitter account for a Black Trump supporter has gone viral

    The screenshots of the fake Twitter account were shared on October 12 and, since then, have amassed more than 20k likes, over 4k retweets, and hundreds of comments. The caption read: “This might be the funniest one out of all the ‘I AM A BLACK PERSON AND I AM A TRUMP SUPPORTER’ cosplays.”

    The sloppiness of the creators of the account didn’t surprise people on Twitter, but it did crack them up. “As a millennial woman of color, I’m not sure what the issue is,” one middle-aged white man commented, making many laugh. “Maybe that’s his name,” someone said about Black Man Photo. Maybe it is?

    “Funniest thing is when you do a reverse image search with their [profile picture] and find the stock photos they grabbed,” someone tweeted.

    Even worse yet, one of the Twitter users actually discovered the older tweets of the Black Man Photo. Turns out, as a Black man, he was quite racist… against Black people. “Send them out!!!” one of the bot’s tweets read. “Back to Africa.”

    Researchers call fake accounts featuring supposed Black users “digital blackface,” a reference to the now-disgraced tactic of white people darkening their faces for film or musical performances intended to mimic African Americans.

    However, the trolls left out one tiny detail—a screenshot of a Google search for “Black man photo”

    Even worse yet, someone found the previous posts shared by “Rayshawn”

    Why would they do that in the first place, aren't Trump supporters super confident in their president?

    Do Trump supporters not realize that Trump is trying to get re-elected to cover his previous errors? This is my own opinion please reply to me if you have a different opinion!

    Dear liberals: if Trump is racist, then why do I, a totally real young black man who is definitely not a stock image, support him? Checkmate.

    this is such an obvious set up. Any idiot can save an image of a black man to use as a pfp. This was clearly done just to give people something to laugh at and discredit the existence of actual black trump supporters, of which there are many. (and before you all come after me with the downvotes I'm not American, nor a Trump supporter. But this is just stupid.)

    the Democratic party has done a terrible job of serving the Black community. This profile was fake. There are many thousands that are not, and their numbers are swelling. Democratic policy has turned the cities into crime-ridden dystopian hellholes where people are packed in like rats into over priced apartments and their children sent to subpar schools that even Third World countries would be embarrassed of.

    Subpar schools? Hmmmm? Is that why states like Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma and South Carolina...ALL run by Republicans...are constantly at the bottom of the education rankings? Tell me, "Truth" Monster, why are all the Republican run states at the bottom of almost EVERY negative metric? From high school drop out rate, to teen pregnancy rate, to percentage of population on welfare....they are ALL the worst...how could that be?? LOL
