Online racism has spawned a new type of vigilante — the race-shamers, everyday folks that pluck racist tweets and status updates from cyberspace and re-post them with personal info about the racist. With the personal info, offended persons can directly confront the racist for their bad online behavior.
Well, well, well, a new profile appears on the racism radar and it’s none other than the social media strategist for the Israeli war.
Israel is an ally of the United States, and President Barack Obama is the president of the United States, so Gizmodo was puzzled by Sacha Dratwa’s blackface profile pic with the tag, “Obama style,” and called him out on it.
“You’d think someone running one of the most sophisticated social media engagements in history would know better than to be super racist on Facebook. Or, you know, at all. We missed this last time we scanned Sacha Dratwa’s Facebook profile — which he’s left public through all the scrutiny.”
The “Obama style” image was recently removed, but the Dratwa images remain.
