Racist Facebook comments appear on billboards near users' homes

By Jennifer Earl CBS News December 1, 2015, 2:39 PM

[IMAGE] According to Racismo Virtual, the comment translates to: "If she bathed properly, she wouldn't get that grimy."

Racismo Virtual

It's time Internet trolls learned a lesson: your words cause harm.

At least, that's what the nonprofit group Criola, an organization in Brazil
that works to defend black women's rights, is trying to teach social media users.

To prove their point, the group created the "Virtual Racism, Real Consequences" campaign, partnering
with billboard media companies to plaster people's racist Facebook comments on signs near their homes.

.. chuckle, bringing words closer to home .. good idea ..

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
