The picture is Obama eating fried chicken, and the sing reads:


Miscegenation is a crime against American Values.

Repeal Loving v. Virginia

Miscegenation means: a mixture of races; especially : marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white person and a member of another race.

Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)<1>, was a landmark civil rights case in which the United States Supreme Court, by a 9-0 vote, declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute, the "Racial Integrity Act of 1924", unconstitutional, thereby overturning Pace v. Alabama (1883) and ending all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.

1. I reported the photo.

You can do the same.

[backscatter712]

3. Done.

That's blatant fucking racism, against Facebook rules and basic human decency.

[MineralMan]

8. There is another racist photo on that page, of Mother Theresa

feeding a dark-skinned child. Same poster put it up. I reported that one as racist, as well.

[intheflow]

14. I also reported the one of a man pointing a rifle at Kerry at close range.

That was one fucked up freeper fb album!

[Marr]

40. *edit*

mispost

[sellitman]

2. I reported the image.

I suggest we all do the same.

[HipChick]

25. I reported also and forwarded the link to news media outlets..

everyone should make sure they get shamed by contacting media too..

[era veteran]

34. I reported these anti Americans

Or is it bizzaro America

[lunatica]

43. Hatriots

[eppur_se_muova]

55. Ooh, love that term! Must use it often! nt

[DeSwiss]

58. Thank for that one! n/t

[Sanity Claws]

4. It says it was added 10/20

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.

[ccharles000]

5. k/r

[Toucano]

6. I reported it. n-t

[MineralMan]

7. I posted on their wall about the photo. My wall post was pulled

within 30 seconds. I suggest that others do the same. My wall post identified the photo and notified them that I was sending links to it to the media.

[aikoaiko]

9. Oh, I think it might be best if they left that up there.

For all the Facebook world to see.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

10. There are even more insidiously captioned photos there.

I reported two more. Hate and racism is flourishing on FaceBook I see.

[Hutzpa]

16. Just as on youtube

you want to see some of the comments.

[AwakeAtLast]

11. A GOPer who knows the definition of 'miscegenation'?

I don't know how to explain that. :shrug:

[Alcibiades]

30. Easy

Not all racists are actually intellectually stupid. There are racists in the south who know the history of race relations in the US pretty well, including such things as miscegenation laws. In fact, I think more Klansmen are aware of the concept of miscegenation than regular Americans.

As I keep saying, like a broken record: the modern GOP are the Wallace people. That's pretty much all they have left.

[bigmonkey]

46. Ironic that Wallace himself might not be among those Wallace people now,

were he alive. Didn't he recant his racism later in his life? I remember reading such.

I might be wrong, of course. I remember the racist Wallace.

[Alcibiades]

57. Yes, he did

Wallace was worse than a simple racist: he was a demagogue who gave the white voters of Alabama--and most of the rest of the south--what they wanted. And he remained a Democrat when most of his followers became Republicans.

But all the Wallace people, and their kids and grandkids, are Republicans now: they are at the core of the Teabaggers, the Birthers and every other crazy conservative movement. Much of their style, beliefs and political culture come straight out of the white supremacy movement that informed their political socialization. Only the names on the signs are different.

[seemunkee]

12. Did you notice the Kerry photo

Someone holding a gun to Kerry's head?
Sick people

[wndycty]

13. Someone needs to do a screencap

:kick:

[TheBigotBasher]

15. Sick low lives

I hope they get a visit from the real men in black.

[Hutzpa]

17. This mother Theresa image is completely disgusting

way to go GOP with your new motto "Spreading Racism as We go Along"

[HCE SuiGeneris]

21. This should not be posted here. I t does not deserve the light of day, IMO.

[Hutzpa]

24. You are so right,

I will take it down before its too late.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

27. Thank you. I saw it there as well,

and alerted on the image. I hope FaceBook is responsible enough to curtail this a-hole's account.

[Mrs. Overall]

38. That caption on the photo of Mother Teresa is about as far from Christianity as you can get--

aren't the Republicans always on the soapbox about their Christian values?

What f'ing hypocrites.

[ehrnst]

47. Actually, I think the one with Mother Teresa may be a satirical jab

at the members of this facebook group - along the lines of "A Modest Proposal."

Mother Teresa is such a conservative icon for anti-choice purposes, that I just can't see this as something even these people would create.

The Obama fried chicken one, however....that's not ironic at all.

[Mrs. Overall]

56. You are right--it can be viewed that way--

I hope it was just satire.

[Contrary1]

18. It's a perfect example of how so many of them feel...

Is there a way to do a screen grab of the entire page, and keep the enlarge option with it? :shrug:

[GMA]

19. those are just disgusting.

n/t

[Eric68601]

20. Disgusting

Well, take a look at MY FACEBOOK profile.

[Eric68601]

22. Here's another.

CZAR of the Suckage.

[struggle4progress]

23. Yeah, idiots are out there. We don't need to hear about every single one of them here

[provis99]

26. EVERY photo on that page is disgusting.

Par for the course of the new RNC (Racist Nitwit Crackers).

[Froward69]

28. I think this one is funny

BECAUSE the character in the photo gets shot for treason in the movie...

[ehrnst]

48. I think that this one is another satirical plant on this facebook group.

Like the Mother Teresa one...

[ThatsMyBarack]

29. Dammit!

Now I REALLY wish Facebook would just GO AWAY! I've had enough! :argh:

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Is this the guy who posted the photo?

Found this one on his photo page:

[Danger Mouse]

32. Reported it. Disgusting.

[smoochpooch]

33. Hmmm, I wonder how he's going to "repeal" a S.Ct. decision?

Unless he plans on repealing the 14th A.

[Toucano]

35. And yet it remains even after being reported. n-t

[Maine-ah]

36. it will take them a little bit to deal with it.

I reported as well.

[Mrs. Overall]

37. What disgusting photos--and these are fans of the Republican National Committee?

Someone should screen capture those.

Ignorant, racist assholes.

[supernova]

39. I tried to report it

but it kept looping back to the report box that asks you for the reason.

That's awful.

[madmom]

42. That same thing happened to me, the is a box in the actual statement you have to check before

goes through. It will work then.

[supernova]

44. Thanks!

I was overlooking that little thing. :P

I reported the Mother Teresa one too. :P

Hard to believe there are people who find this shit funny. It's just sad.

[Marr]

41. I hope you guys weren't reporting this to Facebook.

It would be better to report this to some media outlets, and get it some attention before they can pull it down.

[merh]

45. It has been taken down

This content is currently unavailable

The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.

[supernova]

49. YAY!

Well, that's one racist asshole down, for the nonce.

[merh]

52. I hope that someone got screen captures and sent them along

to the media.

I hate the idea that they hide their racism and hate - the whole world needs to know what they are.

[Liberal_in_LA]

50. Image gone

[BolivarianHero]

51. Why is this a good thing?

Helping the GOP hide its racism doesn't help anybody aside from the GOP.

[Bonn1997]

54. Eh, there's been so much evidence of racism. You really think this facebook image would change...

anyone's mind?

[MineralMan]

53. Actually, they removed all of the photos, and there's no longer

a way to post photos there. I guess they figured that was the easiest way.

[ohheckyeah]

59. A number of people

have mentioned screenshots. Firefox has an addon that will take a whole page screenshot. It's called Fireshot.

You can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5648

[Horus45]

60. I contended that they are too comfortable with Racist images.

The Republicans who carried various signs that included the Swastika and pictures of Obama with a Hitler moustache at their Teabagging Parties were completely comfortable carrying those Swastikas and Hitler imagery.

The reason why they are comfortable carrying the Swastika?

They decorate their homes with Swastikas!

They are Neo-Nazis, that's why!

[Horus45]

61. Looks more like fried fish than fried chicken. eom
