What's your best tweet?
"@pistola_mlg: Im not racist but a black jesus is just blasphemy" As opposed to a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white guy from the Middle East?
Share on TwitterHow do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I run a blog about South Carolina politics, @PalmettoRecord, so I use Twitter for everything from reporting to promoting my stories.
What's your favorite Twitter app?
I love HootSuite because it lets me keep a running search of all "not racist but" tweets, and spread out RTs using the amazing auto-scheduler
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
Honestly, it's the one I'm a part of -- naming-and-shaming accounts like @YesYoureRacist, @Homophobes and @EverydaySexism
What feature should Twitter add?
The ability to automatically ignore tweets which contain certain words and phrases, such as "I'm not racist, but" or "Justin Bieber"
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
John Lennon.
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
I would love to see @ChrisRock weigh in on some of my RTs!
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
Holiday-specific memes such as #RacistChristmas, with tweets like "I'm not racist, but may all your Christmases be white"
Why should people follow you?
If you think we're living in a post-racial society just because we elected a black president, then you DEFINITELY need to follow me.
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
The only accounts @YesYoureRacist follows are other "public service" accounts run by @LoganJames, but there's definitely no one quite like me
