Twitter Bots Are Impersonating Black Americans To Sow Disinformation | MSNBC
People need to get off FB & Twitter and live in the real world.
@Said Saeed So in other words, you will cry again when Trump is re-elected in Nov. Gotcha.
@Baron E Yo cuz, chill out. They is plenty of black folks like me votin’ fo Trump. No what I’m saying G? Get off da Democrat plantation my brotha, #WalkAway.
@Sick Game Squad is dat ri’ u’sayn… Na’ weeza gon’ ge ri dat bussa… And with that being said, go to bed dude!!!
https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/. Not according to the statistics. Black people make up 13.5% of the population in the U. S, 370 white men shot by police in the year you refer to and 235 black men. Pretty easy maths likes.
Also, you reference an opinion piece as of it was fact. Here is what wiki says about the author. She is known for her pro-police views[8] and her opposition to criminal justice reform,[9] as expressed in her book The War on Cops and columns such as “The Myth of the Racist Cop”[10] and “The Myth of Systemic Police Racism.”[11].
The dead giveaway is when the tweet begins with “As a black American”. Lol😂😂😂
As a black American…………….

Elevated Status wow you racist dems really get mad when we leave the plantation lol. You should be afraid of trumps black vote.
this was the most important MSNBC segment of the day. thanks Ali Velshi and your guests for great reportage
I am glad you are reporting this Velshi.
Nobody is talking about the swarm of pro conservative bots that plague the YouTube comments in trending news and its objectively a worse problem here than Twitter.
People, we have all experienced what has happened over these past 6 months. Do not let fairytales that you hear on TV or read on social media let your forget what we KNOW.
We KNOW it’s time for Trump to GO.
nope
Paul Wilson TROLL
Hope Trump gets 2020, the amount of fake and twisted news coming in from MSNBC is mind blowing…..
#walkaway
Erich K YES WAÑKAWAY PUTIN THIS SIN’T 2016 TROLL
Cringe and wrong.
Also blatant stolen account.
70 tweets in one day???
Thats all trump* knows how to do…that and golf and he’s not good at either
Let’s put integrity, empathy, and honesty back in the White House. Cause not ONE is currently there now.
Do you have someone in mind?
The BizzMoneyB FACT: The MEDIA is “sowing the disinformation”!!!!!!! They would have you believe that the Police around the country are a bunch of racist Trump supporters roaming around looking for black men to assassinate!!
FACTS: Unarmed Black men shot and killed by Police in 2019: 9-13, depending on what media outlet you read! Yes, you are reading that right, nine to thirteen!! Black men shot and killed by black men: 2,570 (latest FBI numbers, 2018). Note: This 2,600 number is out of a total of 2,925 black men shot and killed. That means that 89% of all black men are shot and killed BY BLACK MEN!! So, what is the REAL problem in America???

When was it there?
@Trailin’ Annie The real problem is that police are killing black people unjustly because of their race and then are protected by the system and are not prosecuted unless their death goes viral if they are prosecuted at all.
The same thing is happening in Facebook with fake “Latino” accounts!!!
Face book is hurting, people are leaving, this is evident from the ads for it showing up. I could be wrong, but I’ve never seen ads for Facebook before this week.
@Larry Scarr people are still on FB? Lol
@Pure DJ’s Entertainment Bots are people too😋
Same is happening on YouTube. Blatantly fake accounts posting Pro conservative propaganda.
Pro Tip: If someone leads with “As a lifelong Democrat voter who is black….” then says they’re voting for Trump, it’s a troll. Trump is losing support by the day. Biden will be the next POTUS.
@Ricky Spanish nice confirmed russian conspiracy theory
@BirdsEyeView Oooooooh, 76 genders, racist trees, Russia, ALIENS!
@Ricky Spanish cringe and fail
@BirdsEyeView You have a lot of foil at your house I bet, keep making those hats kid.
@Ricky Spanish Low tier bait. Try again.
Yep, we see this all over YouTube as well. What are you doing about it YouTube? Twitter is under the microscope, why aren’t you?
I know, YouTube is doing the same thing. I just got through exposing one.
If the vote meant nothing, they wouldn’t try to stop people from casting it.
Bots on YouTube as well in the comments
Seldom in the last 100 years have we watched a democracy disintegrate like this, Communist countries yes! Democracies no!
If everyone stopped using Facebook and deleted it from their life, the world would be a better place!
I did and I’m glad.
Civil unrest, riots in the street, militias policing – trumps America
Herschel Walker was impersonating a Black American!
Why do we keep pretending we’re worried about Biden’s mental state when Trump parades his unfit mind constantly?
This is Trump saying exactly what he would do with another four years:
“But so I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very, very, I think we’d have a very, very solid, we would continue what we’re doing, we’d solidify what we’ve done, and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done”
This is real. Look it up.
They will go as far as sending out text saying “don’t bother voteing today” early returns say Trump is loosing and can’t catch Biden.
It is only people without ethical standards will vote for Trump, party or not.
