Russian gov pays trolls to post racist messages about Obama, whistleblower says

[uhnope]

As part of the revelation that Russian government trolls post over 200,000 posts on Facebook per day, the whistleblowing former paid troll says that they are required to write racist things about President Obama:

"You need to write 135 comments about this, and don't be shy about how you express yourself. Write whatever you want, just stick the word Obama in there a lot and then cover it over with profanities." In the assignment, there's always a conclusion you've got to make, it's already written, that Obama is a black monkey who doesn't know anything about culture. You stick him in ancient India and he chews gum there. It's funny in the sense that they're ready to grab onto any little thing. On the other hand, it's not funny. It's absurd and it crosses a line.
