Facebook Refuses To Remove Racist "Black Baby As Monkey" Post by etunoman76(m): 7:54am On Feb 08, 2013 |
http://newsone.com/2187515/facebook-black-baby-as-monkey/?omcamp=EMC-CVNL In “Racism in Social Media” news, Facebook has refused to remove a picture of a Black monkey and a White baby, with the caption, “Stop Racism: Black Children and White Children are the Same,” reports Clutch Magazine. The photo, which appears on the page “Laughing so hard you feel a six pack coming on,” has caused a maelstrom of controversy, leading to a petition being created on Change.org demanding that Facebook remove the offensive image. To date, the photo has 335 comments, 2,958 ‘Likes,’ and 237 shares. Facebook has a policy implemented not to allow hate speech on the forum — apparently, portraying Black children as monkeys does not qualify. |
