By now you’ve probably seen the unfortunate typo Yahoo Finance made in a tweet last night about President-Elect Donald Trump wanting to build a bigger Navy. Except, um... it didn’t say “bigger.”
About 45 minutes later, Yahoo Finance deleted the tweet and apologized for the mistake, but by then, people had already lost their minds.

Yahoo finance gotta tweet a picture of them with their two black friends to take the heat off
And then it was like Black Twitter cracked its collective knuckles and went in on the tweet using the hashtag #NiggerNavy. The trend appears to have been started by @JeSuisDawn.
