Rapper Talib Kweli Greene, hearkening back to a year-old tweet issued by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro regarding Trayvon Martin, called him a racist, precipitating an exchange on Twitter in which Shapiro proceeded to demolish him. The exchange was triggered by Greene responding to a woman who tweeted Shapiro was her hero:
That triggered this classic response from Shapiro:
Greene decided to dig the pit he was in a little deeper:
Shapiro responded:
Well, he asked for it:
UPDATE: There was more later in the day. Though Shapiro signed off Twitter, Greene kept up the barrage. Shapiro noticed, and tweeted:
I left and did productive stuff with the rest of my day after my exchange with @TalibKweli. He, however, is still tweeting the same crap.

Which prompted Greene to fire back:
@benshapiro I have no problem being your beautiful boogeyman. I drink racists tears. You replenish me.

Shapiro replied:

But Greene wouldn’t leave well enough alone:
I’m literally better than you at every aspect of life. While tweeting more. Racist fuck boy. @benshapiro https://t.co/RoEJoMAA1p

To which Shapiro responded:
I humbly submit that your vocabulary is substantially inferior. https://t.co/pWeynWZCag

Greene still didn’t get the hint:
@benshapiro you write racist drivel for the Daily Wire. You’re nowhere near my level by any metric.

So Shapiro ended the conversation:
Do I get to pick the metric? I pick IQ points. https://t.co/Pg2Wvz30uD

Ouch.
