(The Root) — Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney threw Twitter for quite a loop today.
Suggested Reading
He surprised everyone by tweeting a picture of his newly adopted grandson, who is absolutely, positively gorgeous and adorable and precious — and also black, judging from the picture.
Given Romney's history of being perceived as not the most open-minded man when it comes to race, Twitter had quite a few jokes to toss about.
I can't wait for the "I'm not racist. We adopted a black baby" thing to come up.

Laughs aside, no one can deny how darling little Kieran James is.
Fun fact: Kieran's name is Gaelic for "black" or "little dark one."
Congrats, Romeys!
