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.
