      Or, at least, potentially. And that's just one single instance of it that's circulating out there.

      What's fueling the spread of this meme? Undiluted racial hatred. Each time it is shared it's like a doubling down on white supremacy.

      I'm currently geotagging a sample of these shares. Vast majority in the U.S., but also in Canada, Australia, UK & Ireland.

      Aside: That "Irish Americans" FB page has a (I'll be kind) tenuous grasp of Irish history. One post placed the Tudor crown on the tricolour.pic.twitter.com/7bWFIDtmY8

      The people promoting the meme on their channels includes prison officers, firefighters, police officers, military, business owners, etc.

      The number of shares of this instance of the meme now stands at 423,000. Thus it has possibly appeared on 127 million Facebook timelines.

      I'm also noting its popularity among white South Africans.

      So I've mapped a random sample of 1,500 Facebook users who have shared the meme in the last week. 100% of them were white.pic.twitter.com/qVZovpGCu1
