RNC keeps racist pics on Facebook for nearly a week

Perhaps no one noticed. Perhaps no one cared. But hours after a liberal news forum brought attention to a series of days old controversial photos on the Republican National Committee's Facebook page, the photos were finally taken down.



Members of the liberal news forum Democratic Underground launched a discussion about the photos on Sunday night.

"That's blatant f---ing racism, against Facebook rules and basic human decency," one upset commenter stated.

Another commenter noted the Obama photo had been on the RNC Facebook page since October 20. "So it has been up five days and not one person administering the site did anything about it. Apparently the site administrator finds this correctly sums up Republican philosophy."

2. Thanks for posting the screen grab.

I had merely read the discussion; missed seeing the photo/poster. You can't get the full impact of RNC racism without the visual.

3. Great work and insights are revealed here....

and they thankfully overshadow the stuff that makes many of us, periodically, want to stay away.

Thanks for this!

it is as if they (or the someone who made the pic) does not recognize the contrubtion or even the legitmacy of my family!

mere words cannot express the anger I feel ...
