After a white man posted to Facebook an image of himself with his colleague's 3-year-old, accompanied by racist comments both from his friends and himself, people who caught wind of the viral story got justifiably pissed.
Facebook friends of Gerod Roth, also known as Geris Hilton, proffered a range of extremely offensive comments, including "I didn't know you were a slave owner," "'But Massuh, I dindu nuffin,'" and "Send him back dude those fuckers are expensive."
In response to, "Dude where the hell did you get a black kid??" Roth wrote, "He was feral" (which, incidentally, garnered six likes).
Then the mother found out and started a hashtag:
First and foremost, Sydney Jade, the mother of Cayden, the little boy in the picture, started the hashtag #HisNameIsCayden in defiance of the derogatory and objectifying remarks which accompanied Roth's photos of her boy — and it took off.
Next, him and a friend of his who made jokes were fired:
Next, Roth, aka Hilton, lost his job at Polaris Marketing Group in Atlanta, Georgia, where he and Jade worked together.
Emily Irene Red, the woman who wrote, "I didn't know you were a slave owner," was also fired from her job at The Conch Republic Grill, the Root reports
Finally, he decided that he was also a victim:
Roth did not make matters better for himself when he went on Fox 5 to say the comments were taken out of context and that he'd been targeted, just like Cayden had.
But it was discovered that he has previously posted jokes about Dylann Roof and Trayvoning memes.
