At least one racist internet troll got what he deserved after he posted a photo on Facebook in which he mocked a black toddler and encouraged his friends to do the same.
The defenceless three-year-old boy became the centre of vile racist abuse on the social network after a white Georgia man took a selfie with the child and posted it to his page, implying that the child was a slave and referring to him as ‘sambo’.
And a heap of this guy’s horrible racist mates piled in and also posted nasty abuse towards the child because sometimes the internet is an awful place and people are terrible.

The offensive comments included: “I’ll feed you, but first let me take a selfie”, “I didn’t know you were a slave owner”, “Send him back dude those fuckers are expensive”, and one even described the young child as “feral”.
Thankfully, Twitter soon got a hold of the post and exposed Hilton and his friends with some swift social media justice.
