Amanda Bynes Tweets Barack And Michelle Obama Are Ugly: Is The Actress Racist, Crazy Or Just Seeking Attention?

Attention-seeking actress Amanda Bynes was at it again Monday after tweeting that she thinks President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are ugly. The nasty tweet has spurred debate on Twitter: Is Bynes racist?

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are ugly!

That tweet set off a frenzy as to whether Bynes is a racist. “Amanda Bynes” started trending on Twitter along with “Barack Obama and Michelle Obama” shortly after the troubled actress posted the tweet.

Blogger Hayes Brown of ThinkProgress was among those in the Amanda Bynes is racist camp.

That time when Amanda Bynes went from watchable crazy person to full-on racist. Amazing transformation: https://t.co/QSRXpqXeUo

Others on Twitter agreed.

I think Amanda Bynes might just be racist.

Amanda Bynes is racist!

But other Twitter users pointed out that Bynes is an equal opportunity hater when it comes to judging appearances. (The Huffington Post has this clever “Does Amanda Bynes Think You're Ugly? flowchart.) Among those being dubbed ugly by Bynes include “High School Musical” star Zac Efron and even Bynes’ own sister, Jillian. Both Efron and Jillian Bynes are white.

Twitter user @RBPundit was among those saying the “Amanda Bynes is racist” chatter is off the mark.

In fact, Amanda Bynes called her own sister ugly (on Twitter, no less), but doing the same of the Obamas is racist, according to @HayesBrown

Even if Amanda Bynes is not a racist, an overwhelmingly number of Twitter users do believe the actress suffers from some form of craziness, offering her provocative tweets, plastic surgeries and troubles with the law as evidence.

Amanda Bynes is just full of Cray. Not necessarily racist. But apparently, calling the president ugly is now racist. Ok.

Someone took a fall out of the Crazy Tree and hit every damn branch on the way down @AmandaBynes

But yet other Twitter users don’t believe Bynes is racist or crazy. They say her bizarre Twitter antics are just a cry for attention.
