Gerod Roth Fired from Polaris Marketing Group for Racist Facebook Post

At the Atlanta Blackstar, via Memeorandum, "Multiple Firings After Racially Charged Facebook Remarks Mocking a Black Child Go Viral."

Also at London's Daily Mail, "White marketing employee fired after posting a selfie and hateful racist comments with the son of a black colleague calling the little boy a 'slave'."

Just one more reminder that social media often brings out the worst in people, and also that people are way to casual about the kind of stuff they post to their feeds, thinking that their indiscretions won't be seen by the wider world out there. Times have changed folks. While personally I've seen much worse online, clearly, especially given how adorable that kid is, some people need to dig down deep in search of some moral well of decency.
