The University Democrats has released a statement in response to a racist tweet from the president of the College Republicans, the second offensive tweet about President Obama that has brought the organization under fire.
On Dec. 18, Cassie Wright, the former vice president of College Republicans, tweeted this Sunday: “My president is black, he snorts a lot of crack. Holla. #2012 #Obama”
This tweet comes after the former president, Lauren Pierce, stepped down last month after receiving heat nationwide for saying the idea of assassinating the president was "tempting" on her Twitter. She also lost her internship with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
On Nov. 16 [see (linked in) http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=69065406 and preceding and following], Pierce tweeted: “Y’all as tempting as it may be, don’t shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we’ve EVER had! #2012.”
The University Democrats have released a press release in response to Ms. Wright’s recent tweet, which can be seen below:
The University Democrats are once again responding to an uncouth Tweet recently made by UT College Republicans President Cassandra Wright. On December 18, Ms. Wright tweeted the following: “My president’s black, he snorts a lot of crack. Holla. #2012 #Obama”
Someone in such a position cannot make comments such as these; they seriously undermine the healthy atmosphere the University of Texas tries to promote among students. However, while we condemn such blatantly racist remarks, the University Democrats will not call for the resignation of Ms. Wright. Rather, we should hope that there is sufficient internal pressure for reform. Regardless of the actions ultimately taken by the College Republicans, we will not be distracted in our fight for a more progressive Texas.
“Ms. Wright’s tweet was inappropriate and unfortunate due to its racist nature and blatant disrespect for the President of the United States.” says Huey Fischer, President-elect of the University Democrats. “We hope the College Republicans will get their act together so that we may renew a strong relationship between our two clubs.”
