Such a disgusting tweet. No chance of @karenhandel getting that vote now. All they see is, "ignorant n!ggers" when they see us. Sad.

.............The image, shared by user @rose10052, featured a stock image of young black man in a suit with white text.
"Criticizing black kids for obeying the law, studying in school, and being ambitious as 'acting white' is a trick Democrats play on Black people to keep them poor, ignorant, and dependent," text on the image reads. "Free the black slaves from the Democratic plantation."
"Handel will fight for minorities to excel," the image reads in bold letters at the top. The bottom of the image also tells people to "join the movement" to "send Karen Handel to Congress" with a link to her website.
Here's Handel's tweet:
