SHOCKER!!! TILA TEQUILA LAUNCHES A REPUBLICAN SOUNDING RANT AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE ... THEN THREATENS TO COMMIT SUICIDE!!

We know this is likely a publicity stunt ... but ... Tila Tequila is threatening on Twitter that she's going to commit suicide.

First Tila started going in on her African American Twitter friends - telling them to stop "playing the race card" and claiming that her "tax dollars" pay for their food.

Then, when they started returning fire, the chick said she was committing suicide.
