I'll just link to it because it is racist and there are 'bad' words.
People were trolling his video and he just randomly posts saying that white people need to stop coming to his video and leaving negative comments. Lololol.

Well the focus isn't on his music here crait it's on what he said.

I read it and wonder if that was the real Soulja Boy or if someone just took his name and posted that.

Besides, in my opinion the most racist thing about it was his reference to "white boy" which is actually descriptive as if one were to say "black man" which isn't a racist term at all. Soulja boy assumed that the people trashing his videos were "white" thus he called them "white boys" There isn't anything racist about that other than his blind (and probably accurate) assumption about who was harassing him.

His use of the word "nigga" was never intended to be a racial epithet but people outside of the culture make little distinction between the frequently offensive word "nigger" and the word "Nigga" due to dialectal or regional differences in the English language.

"Nigga" is frequently used as an endearing term in urban black communities such as in the phrase "that's my nigga" or "real nigga s**t" as soulja boy used it. However, depending on what precedes the word "nigga" it can be just as offensive as it's root "nigger" which is more often used in a disparaging manner, examples need not be cited here and generally speaking it's best to limit use of the words as much as possible to avoid any misunderstandings.

Well, I totally forgot to link you to the movie. It's the official page and that's the same account as the person who uploads the videos.
And it is racist because he is just saying to all the white folk to stop posting negative comments even though there is no way he can tell who is white and who isn't from their YouTube names.
Here's the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EogSKoNiuy0
You can judge for yourself. :P
EDIT: Ugh.. he deleted the comment. :(

Log on, say you are black and type some negative comments then.

Well the comments by Soulja Boy did seem to carry ebonic undertones. Though ignorant isn't the word I would have chosen the post was made by someone with a unique, if not poor grasp of proper English.

And hows that? Cause I called him ignorant in which there can be ignorance in any race? Or that I called him black? Which he obviously is. Or that I said he types like a black person? Which obviously from his text he does.

People are over sensitive now-a-days. geez settle down.

It's racist because you are linking the way he types with black people. You are grouping people by their skin color and linking them all to a way of doing things. You even take it a step further by stating that he is doing something ignorant that you are saying all black people do. Through that, you are saying that all black people are ignorant for typing that way.
That is how your post was racist.

@Que: There were a lot of people that said they weren't white after he posted it. In fact, I saw a few that said they were black and they still disliked his music.

HA! That might be true but at the same time how do you know they didn't do what I recommended and lie about their ethnicity?

Are you implying that white people are liers?
Lol. Just kidding. How do I know? I don't. I just can't assume that everyone is the same color and I especially won't assume that a group of trouble makers are all a certain color.

I guess if I were to type a racist comment in caps lock and use ebonics that would make me cool too? It's a pitty people actually look up to someone who hasn't really climbed his way up the evolution ladder yet...
