My friend took this picture and video... please pass this around. People need to see what is out there, and that this type of bigotry and ignorance still exists.

Not all people from Louisiana are this uneducated and ill-informed, but its still shameful that this exists in our state.

Please please spread this, link it, email it... whatever. This kind of garbage needs to be identified and condemned.

I posted this a little while ago, and it got deleted. I'm not sure if it was because the link to the picture/video was the digg link, or becasue of someone's personal political agenda. I'm assuming it was the first, and that for some reason the admin saw ill intent in my posting the digg link. I feel that bigotry and mis-information should not be tolerated, and should be openly condemned. This was the only reason I posted the digg link, intending to hopefully reach as many people as possible. The digg link does not link to any personal site, nor blog. I specifically posted the picture on an image hosting site for this reason, as to not use something this unfortunate for anyone's personal benefit.

If you would like to support the spread of this information, see the youtube video info, or PM me for the digg link.

Admin's, if I have done anything that is against the terms of service, please let me know, as this is not my intent. The previous thread was not closed, but deleted, with no notification (PM). As this is a Community Discussion forum, which includes political topics, I found it appropriate to post this here.

This forum has a separate area for political and religious discussion, which has a minimum post count of 100 for anyone either contributing to or starting threads within it. Your current post count is 58, therefore you are below that minimum and any effort you make to post political threads in Community Discussion will be deleted.

dynamicv covered it pretty well. It is also mentioned in the FAQ (http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:MacRumors_FAQ)
