ACLU admits to ‘white supremacy’ after tweeting photo of white baby with U.S. flag
Washington Times, Aug 24, 2017,  Jessica Chasmar

The American Civil Liberties Union backpedaled Wednesday on tweeting a photo of a white baby holding a U.S. flag after users called it racist.

The seemingly harmless photo showed a blond-haired toddler in a “Free Speech - ACLU” onesie holding a U.S. flag and what appears to be a colorful toy dog. The tweet read, “This is the future that ACLU members want.”



But users quickly accused the ACLU of promoting white supremacy — a point the organization apparently agreed with.


“When your Twitter followers keep you in check and remind you that white supremacy is everywhere,” the ACLU responded, including a .gif of Kermit the Frog saying, “That’s a very good point.”
