racist
To be a racist is to be a dunce. We are all as one, there is no place for one race, people, color, ideology, above any other. The only place for racism and a racist is to be laughed at for their ignorance, so go wild.
Twitter won't take your racism lying down.
It proved as much Oct. 6 after a selfie of a white man with a three-year-old black child, and its very racist comments, went around Facebook.
According to The Huffington Post:
Cayden was at his mother's workplace in Atlanta when a coworker, identified by Atlanta Black Star as Gerod Roth but who uses the online alias of Geris Hilton, snapped an image of himself with the child in the background.
Roth posted the image on Facebook last month, and the comments quickly showed the Internet at its absolute worst. Roth's friends posted racist jokes and hateful commentary, including references to slavery.
"He was feral," Roth wrote in what appears to be his only comment.
Other comments included "I didn't know you were a slave owner", "But massah, I dindu nuffin" and "Send him back dude, those f*ckers are expensive...Like 25 cents a day".
Cayden's mother and grandmother were appalled to see the post from a coworker and wanted to humanize the boy they love. So they started #HisNameIsCayden and Twitter ran with it:
My bro's disability showed me how quick people are to make a joke at the expense of another human. Think before you post. #HisNameIsCayden

Roth's employer was not happy when they discovered the post:
This morning I was disgusted to learn that one of my former employees made several racially charged comments on his...

Nick clearly failed to grasp the unspoken, yet assumed etiquette of navigating the crazy world of Tinder: don't rapid fire unanswered messages, don't be a cankerous dickhead of a douchecanoe to matches that 'just aren't feeling you', and don't be a racist. Fail to abide by those reasonable commandments, and you leave yourself vulnerable to being the next fella to fall prey to social media-driven condemnation on good 'ol venting outlets like Imgur and Facebook.
Blackface and using the n-word is something that's doesn't fly anywhere. Get it together, white people.
A Kansas State University student was put on blast after KSU student Desmund Weathers posted a screenshot of a snapchat a former sorority girl had shared. In the photo you can see a blackfaced Paige Shoemaker throwing up the Westside W with a caption that took everything over the edge.
Ellen DeGeneres photoshopped herself riding Usain Bolt's back with the caption "This is how I'm running errands from now on." Even though the viral image of Usain Bolt's memorable smile before crossing the finish line has been Photoshopped hundreds of times, some folks on the internet have found the Tweet to be offensive. #Triggered Calm down people, this is Ellen we're talking about... Just keep swimming, I guess.
