In this day and age, you'll be surprised to see people act worse than retard3d animals.

Geris Hilton, you and your asshole friends will forever be haunted by your bigotry and horrid comments over an innocent black child.

Dick head racist.

Thank God, he got fired

I don't understand these whites a times! Anyway we sef dey do am here. They call us South East and we call them South West, I think its just tribalism. The mostly funny thing is, in the north they call us all brothers except for the northeners who are well travelled. Crazy world!

Somethings will never change

Some of the Facebook commenters who posted
racist remarks about a three-year-old Black child
have released apologies after being terminated
from their jobs.
The story of the trending hashtag #
HisNameIsCayden began last week, when
Facebook user Gerod Roth ( Geris Hilton on the
site) posted a photo of himself with Cayden
Jenkins, the son of his co-worker, Sydney
Shelton .
After making the photo his profile picture, many
of his friends wrote racist comments about the
child, calling him “Kunta Kinte” and using slave
jokes. Roth did little to extinguish the raced-
based jokes, adding himself that the child “was
feral.”
“A person said, ‘Oh, you mean to tell me that
you just have wild kids running through your
office building?’ And that’s when I said ‘he
was feral.’ That was interpreted as racist
and that, honestly, was not my intention
whatsoever,” Roth told Fox 5 Atlanta .
Earlier this week, Roth was fired from his position
at Polaris Marketing Group in Atlanta. In addition
to Roth’s firing, another commenter who goes by
the name Emily Irene Red was reportedly
terminated from her position at The Conch
Republic restaurant.
@tyriquex Just spoke to the manager of The
Conch Republic Grill. Emily Irene was fired
today. He says they were "appalled" by her
remarks.

Tim Zheng, the Facebook user who called the
toddler “Kunta Kinte” in Roth’s comments, also
apologized for his actions. Sharing a story about
his immigrant parents and the racism they faced,
Zheng now claims he’s learned from his actions.
But Cayden’s supporters weren’t buying his
apology, especially after old posts of Zheng’s
mocking the Black Lives Matter movement were
uncovered.
Shelton is grateful for the support she’s received
since the hashtag’s inception. Speaking with Fox
5 Atlanta , the mother stated Roth never
mentioned the comments to her, or even asked to
take a photo with her son weeks before it caught
attention online.
“He is not a deaf child. He is not mute. He
has never been abandoned. He is a well-
loved, fun-loving, hyper-active and typical
three-year-old,” Shelton said in response to
comments made on the post.
Roth emailed Shelton an apology, but she doesn’t
believe it’s sincere.
