Even film critic Roger Ebert was condemned by fans and haters alike for tweeting disrespectful remarks in regards to the N-word. And those are just a few of the incidents.

Already under the media microscope for fellow White Girl Mob member V-Nasty's use of the word "nigger", Kreayshawn became public enemy number one when a stream of racist tweets poured down her timeline. Remarks such as "Sometimes I wish slavery was still goin' on” and "I don't need black fans anyway. Y'all don't buy albums," put some serious heat on Kreay. The next morning, she announced that her Twitter account had been hacked and that all the tweets were fake. She ended the Twitter announcement with an apology which included her saying, "I am sorry, I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN!". Hm.
