"Be careful of what you post or say online," the "social media police" have warned time and time again, because, they admonish, "It could cost you your job!"

Here's proof they were right:

A Georgia man was fired for posting racist comments about a co-worker's child on his personal FB page. Geris Hilton, who is white, had taken a selfie with his black co-worker's little boy standing in the background. The photo triggered a string of racially-insensitive comments that Hilton made no effort to silence and his post  went viral. Today Michael Di Graca Pinto, the president of PMG Marketing Group in Atlanta said in a Facebook post on his company's page Hilton was terminated, calling his behavior "hateful, ignorant and despicabe." Pinto ended with a vow to that the company “will ensure that none of the businesses that we associate with will ever do business with him again.”

 

The child's mother, Sydney took to Twitter to defend her son, creating the hashtag #HisNameIsCayden.
