Remember the days when African-Americans had to regularly worry about segregation, lynchings, and the Ku Klux Klan? Well, one conservative Facebook group would like to carry on the tradition of lynching, and not just any African-American, but the President of the United States - Barack Obama.
The Facebook group "America the next generation" recently posted a photo of President Obama in a noose, which included a caption that read, "The making of a National Holiday."
After receiving plenty of criticism for the post, the creator of it took it down and posted the following message:
"OK by are own choice out of respect of our regular followers that requested us to remove the post with the noose around Obamas head, [W]e did so out of Respect to them and we will take the high road!"
Yes, because posting a picture of our first African-American being hung and saying that it would be reason enough for a national holiday before removing said photo is definitely the epitome of taking the high road.
On that note, I imagine the following to also be examples of "taking the high road," according to the group's leader, who made at least eight spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors in one sentence:
- "Even though I truly meant every word I said in that I wish all liberals would die, I'm going to take the high road and say, 'No disrespect.' There, are you happy now?"
- "I got a lot of complaints when I said that every woman should be sexually violated so they all know men are the ones that are supposed to be in charge. I'd like to take the high road here and say that only a few thousand of them deserve this. You're welcome, b*tches."
- "Okay, so I did say that all Muslims are terrorists, and I still kind of believe that. In any case, I'm going to take the high road here and just say that all terrorists are Muslims. Is everything cool now?"
How I wish that people like this would take the "high road" and refrain from exuding such ignorance through any and every possible medium.
