Despicable. I wonder where the seller GOT this photograph?

1. I wish I hadn't clicked on that

those are some ugly motherfuckers.

Collectible??? WHY the fuck is ebay allowing this shit to be sold????

4. They might not...

If they aren't told about it then they wont know. They don't have enough staff to look over every single auction that is listed.

2. REPORT IT

If you are offended then report it. I think it is horrific but the boundaries of free speech here are thin. They have the right to *gag* assemble like this if they have a permit and spew their hatred, I'm just not sure they are allowed to sell it on ebay. They have live seller support maybe they should be contacted and just made aware of it, that way they can decide what to do?

5. I didn't see a "Report" link on that page.

You'd think eBay'd have 'em all over the place.

6. How do we report it?

I was trying to find a link to do just that....

[Winamericaback]

7. Talking to Ebay rep now

He is looking into it to see if it is allowed.

3. I assume that since he refers to the photograph as

one SALUTING the cross he not only approves of the action (cross burning) but may have been there and may have been the photographer. It can be seen as a fundraiser for the Klan. One just never knows.

I don't see the collectible value in such a picture though. Unless David Duke or George Bush (or insert any Republican name here) could be seen attending the event and was pictured in their robes....THAT would have collectible value.

the KKK is specifically mentioned in the forbidden list,,,,

goodgrief.

9. How do you report stuff?

I want to shut him down fast

[KarenS]

11. ok,,,, go to the listing,,,,

at the bottom of the page is a link for Policies ~ look down the page for the Prohibited & Restricted Items,,,, if you follow that link the next page is a help page with a 'contact us' on the left,,,, you can send an email,,,,

they are usually pretty good about removing things,,,,

[Obviousman]

13. thanks

I also sent the seller a message.

[Lefty48197]

15. Thanks Karen. I looked but didn't see the link.

I figured it was a publicity stunt/ advertising gimmic for the local Klan. I hope it gets shut down quickly.

10. Okay Ebay Rep said This is NOT allowed

Gave me this link to report it:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_inline/results.html?tier0=report_listing.html&tier1=2&tier2=8&continueButton=Continue+%3E&contactUsJSFilename=report_listing.js&contactTitle=Report+a+listing+policy+violation+or+prohibited+%28banned%29+item

[troubleinwinter]

12. Thanx for the link, I sent a report also.

[Syncronaut Seven]

14. What a PITA

But I reported the disease to Ebay. Looks like blatant incitement / recruiting to me.

These Pugs always wanted a race war, look for this kind of shit and STOMP IT OUT!

This societal cancer runs deep.


I'll let someone else report it to SLPC.

[troubleinwinter]

16. OK, at least three of us have reported it...

and two and a half hours +, it is still there!!!!!! WTF??!!!!

[Winamericaback]

17. Its going to take

at least a day for ebay to get to this. They get hudreds of complaints per day and I doubt they are fully staffed on a Sunday.

[Behind the Aegis]

18. Still there...2:28pm CST

There is one hour to go in the bid. What a shame that this is listed as a "collector's" item! What a sad, sad person!

[KarenS]

19. Finally!!!!

eBay item is GONE!!!!!!!

22. Good work

good work at getting racist bs off of EBAY. I clicked on the link before I realized that it had already been deleted and then read through and saw that you were all very busy at getting it deleted. It is disgusting but it makes people realize and understand that racism is very alive even today.

[kwassa]

23. It was deleted in 2004.

This thread is really old, if you check the dates on the posts.

Welcome to DU!

[Summermoondancer]

24. Wow

this room sadly must not be very active. I am very into racial equality so it was one of the first boards I came to and you are right I didn´t see the date. I have been arguing in another forum about immigration and the foreclosure crisis...someone made the moronic remark that Hispanics were the cause of the foreclosure crisis...I pointed out to them that the zip codes 44105(Cleveland) and 30310(Atlanta) were also the two zip codes with the lowest Hispanic populations while they had the highest foreclosure rates...it has nothing to do with race, but with jobs moving out of those areas and homes being sold above what they were worth.
