Couple in State Farm ad on Twitter- Twitter screencapture
Racist trolls with nothing better to do had a major meltdown this week after an insurance company used a photo of a black man proposing to a white woman in a Twitter ad pitching coverage for the ring.
Using #ProtectTheBling as the hook for jewelry insurance, State Farm used the photo of the smiling black man offering the ring to a surprised blonde woman, with the quote: "Who said yes?💍Cheers to the newly engaged this holiday season! Be sure to #ProtectTheBling! https://st8.fm/Bling "
It didn't take long for the racists who hang out on Twitter to attack the company, with one writing, "Corporate America is vermin. I want the floor of NY stock exchange turned into a pool of blood."
A sampling of some of the more extreme Tweets below, as well as the original that triggered Twitter's racist legions:
