Racist anti-Obama page on FB--report it

Some one posted this on Daily Kos. Thought I should report it here.

Hadn't planned to diary this morning, but just saw something come across my Facebook feed that merits one.

Remember that picture of a guy at a Romney rally with a shirt saying "Let's put the white back in the White House"? Well, someone actually got the bright idea to put up a page in a similar vein: Let's Put a White Man Back in the White House.

Seventeen people actually like this page. Disgusting. Everyone who has a Facebook account, report this page immediately.

Apologies for the short post, but this needs to get out pronto.

an email notification when their review is complete.

A couple of my retirement mutual funds own FB shares of stock, so I will also complain through FB''s Investor Relations if the review does not cause the page to come down.

Thanks for posting this.
