1.

This front page of an old gossip rag not only tells us some interesting information about the Boston Strangler, but is also extremely racist.

2.

Apparently, this was a huge problem for racists back then.

3.

According to racists, African American babies drink ink to maintain their skin color. Racists, as a general rule, have never been very good at science.

4.

Using busing to eliminate segregation in school leads to… cannibalism? Fear mongering at its finest (and most racist).

5.

6.
