Charlie Sheen makes racist comment against Obama
Los Angeles, March 20
Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has posted a racist comment on US President Barack Obama, calling him "Barry Satera Kenyaâ€.
"Barry
Satera Kenya u won't attend a soldier's funeral uhkros da street that u
kild yet u hav time 4 brackets? s a d," the actor posted on his Twitter
page on Wednesday.
"Barry Satera Kenya" refers to Obama's
African heritage, as his father came from Rachyuonyo District in Kenya,
even though Obama himself was born in Hawaii. The meaning of word
'Satera' is still left unexplained, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The
49-year-old's anger appeared to be fuelled by Obama's appearance at the
bracket on ESPN, an annual tradition during his presidency, instead of
attending a soldier's funeral.
The soldier's funeral that Sheen refers to may be the funeral of a two-star general, who was killed in Afghanistan.
However,
his accusation that the funeral had been ignored by the administration
was incorrect since the ceremony was attended by US Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel.
The tweet sparked an outburst from other Twitter users.
One
of the users who commented on Sheen's tweet, wrote: "He can't attend
every funeral, grow up", while others said that mentioning Kenya in his
tweet was racist.
