(CNN) -- The U.S. Secret Service said Wednesday it was following up after a California man used Facebook to make a profane threat against President Barack Obama.

"Assassinate the f------ n----- and his monkey children," Jules Manson, 48, a onetime candidate for the Carson, California, City Council, wrote on Facebook Sunday, according to CNN affiliate KTLA.

Manson told the station he was angry when he wrote the post, "and I just wanted to spew out the most vile, hateful things toward him. That's all I was doing."

"We are aware of this matter and are taking appropriate follow-up," Secret Service spokesman Max Milien told CNN. He would not comment on the investigation.

If it's said about a Dem president or congress member it's "haha can't you take a joke?" or "I was angry and just wanted to spew the most vile hatred towards him and his entire family" or if it came from Fox news then it would be considered commentary.

He has a public Facebook page (as of a couple of nights ago, at least), and he posted that in fact, he is very racist.

Feel free to share your feelings on Facebook.
