Erica Garner’s Twitter representative draws outrage after requesting only black reporters contact family

Within minutes of Erica Garner's death Saturday, the administrator of her Twitter account faced torrents of backlash over a post requesting that only black journalists reach out to the family.

"Out of respect to Erica please do not request comment if the journalist is not Black," tweeted the account used by Garner, who became a prominent anti-police brutality activist after her father, Eric Garner, was choked to death by NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo in 2014.

The tweet, which was likely sent by family spokesman Reggie Harris, drew ire from some social media users who called it "racist" and said it affronted Erica Garner's legacy of unity and equality.

"Those who knew erica call this post a disrespect to her and her legacy," ABC anchor Bill Ritter tweeted.

Citing Ritter's tweet, Garner's account fired back a harshly-worded response.

"Which one of those people were with her last night, this morning, the day before, which one of those people was with her on Christmas or did she call when she felt suicidal," the reply read. "Choke on an entire bag of d---s you disrespectful snowflake!"

Other Twitter users agreed with Ritter.

"I'm so saddened by this tweet," a Baltimore resident tweeted at the Garner account. "Is the objective to divide? If so, congratulations on your success."

Harris, who has been operating Garner's account since she suffered a heart attack last weekend, did not respond to requests for comment from the Daily News.

The Garner account continued to post and retweet messages throughout the day, including one targeting the mayor.

"de Blasio … explain how she died with no justice," the account posted within minutes of a condolence message from Hizzoner saying, "This city will miss her unshakable sense of justice and passion for humanity."

Twitter does not erase accounts of users who have passed away unless immediate family members provide administrators with an official death certificate. It's unclear if Garner's family members intend to keep her account going or request that it be taken down.  

Garner's relatives joined iconic civil rights leaders on Saturday to mourn the 27-year-old mother of two, whose death comes less than four years after her father fell victim to police brutality.

"She was a warrior, she was a fighter and we didn't pull the plug on her," Esaw Snipes, Garner's mother, told the Daily News. "She left on her own terms."
