What To Do When You Are Being Racially Trolled?

lundi 24 août 2015

Apologies if this doesn't belong in Tech Help and if it needs to be in Blogging, please let me know. Here's the problem. I've been blogging for quite some time now and while I've had my share of hate mail, this is different. I am being harassed by someone sending me racist and offensive comments to my blog. He has used at least four different handles. "THE WITNESS, The Fact Checker, The Truth Doctor and WASP. "

The first message came on 08/23/15 from WASP and here is the remark in response to a post I made five years ago:

"Niggers will be niggers. Naggers gonna nag. Tell me one prosperous nigger city that isn't crime ridden with deteriorating infrastructure, high drop out rates for high school students, drugs and gangs in the area. Go ahead, name one. You can't. These niggers are uncivilized and inhuman. If niggers blame whites for their fucked up situations, then you tell my why Africa is a shit hole. The top 10 poorest countries in the world are all in Africa. So, apparently #BlackLivesDon'tMatter. Blacks can't get their shit together in America or Africa. Why don't you learn some African history, wait, there is none. They currently live in mud and straw huts which they have done for centuries #BlackLivesMatter. Africa is full of aids, poor people and governments that cannot do anything productive on a large scale for a long time. Ever heard of a "bad part of town"? Sure, we all have. But if you stop and think about it, what people mean is "a non-white neighborhood". Name one "bad" all white "bad part of town". Maybe a trailer park?"


Here is some additional information about this sender:

IP: 76.228.79.97, 76-228-79-97.lightspeed.sntcca.sbcglobal.net
E-mail: honkyweiner@yahoo.com
URL: http://ift.tt/1JsLhAW
Whois: http://ift.tt/1Lx1vQh

I didn't reply to this hate comment and simply deleted it after sending it to the Spam inbox. Well, today I came home and there were three more comments from the same IP address, but each with a different name of the sender.

The IP address is the same for all four handles, but the email and URL's are different. I have notified Word Press support. I'm guessing there is probably a way to block the IP address.

Please advise.
