…acking fire wood, winterproofing etc.), hence the name,” read the graphic, complete with an illustration of a slave auction. Yeah, because nothing like that took place in American history. Still, the Daily News’ Jaime Uribarri drags Smith through the mud by recounting the cruelty of online critics: “You’re a f——— idiot” was one of the the more blunt responses to the head-scratcher of a post, while others, like Twitter user @j_weech1, tried enlight…
