A tweet written by former US president Barack Obama in the wake of the white supremacist rally in Virginia has become the most liked message ever posted on Twitter where he gave a break down of the record of Virginia.
“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion…” Obama wrote on Saturday, quoting late South African leader and Nelson Mandela, whom Obama has called a “personal hero.”
The tweet was posted after Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal who was protesting the white nationalist rally in the city of Charlottesville, was killed when a driver slammed into a crowd of demonstrators.
The message by the 44th – and first black – US president had been liked nearly 3 million times by early Wednesday, making it the all-time most liked tweet, according to Twitter’s official feed.
It had been re-tweeted more than 1.2 million times.
Below the message is a picture of Obama greeting a group of young kids looking at him from a window.
After the initial tweet Obama followed with two more quotes from Mandela’s autobiography “The Long Walk to Freedom.”
“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love,” Obama wrote. “For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

Love overcomes all.No matter the amount of bigotry,hatred & other vices that bedevil the world,love shall eventually prevail. For our Eternal, Almighty Father YaHWeH is love.Darkness disappears when light appears.Falsity may run for 100years, it takes only a day for truth to overtake & overwhelm it.
Former President Barak Obama continues to win the battles of life because he uses the proved age long weapon of love that surely overcomes all.Which is the bedrock of 'The Law of None-Resistance'.We must help President Donald Trump also to win his battles of life by interceding for him in our prayers to Our Almighty,Eternal Father,YHWH, YaHWeH, YaHuWeH,to overwhelm him with His love & Spirit: so that,The Holy Spirit,Ha Qodesh (Kodesh) Ruah, The Ancient of Days,completely overwhelm him & continuously use him to carry out YaHWeH's purpose & mission on earth by teaching him how to use the weapon of love to overcome all his battles.As for the so called haters: they must realise that no human is born with a hating heart. It is in this world that the man of sin,satan & his cohorts (fallen angels & demons) sowed seeds of hatred into humans to turn them into haters:so as to be able to use them for their own mission on earth: which is the downfall of mankind. So,the non-haters must pray to have the discerning spirit of The Holy Spirit to identify the problem ,clearly: that,it is the evil spirits that possess humans that make them evil or haters.So, the solution is not to use physical violence to counter physical violence but to cast out the evil spirits in humans.When these are done the haters or the evil ones become, surprisingly,lovers. How are these achieved? By prayer & fasting,& by being violent in the spirit.So, the violence is not in the physical but in the spirit. This is THE KEY to 'The None Resistance Method' of Mahatma Ghandi of India, Martin Luther King Jnr of USA & Nelson Mandela of South Africa.This Weapon of Love Overcomes All,use it always & prevail children of The Most High One, Almighty, Eternal Father, YaHWeH.He loves you & if you come to Him;His Holy Son,Our Redeemer & Saviour shall ,surely, give you THE KEYS of His Kingdom,Matt16:19, Matt18:18-20.Amen! AlleluYaHWeH! Praise be unto YaHWeH!
