24. Happened to see this
I wander out of the photo group now and then, and found this.
Something seemed suspicious about the image, so I did a check.
The image you found on FB had been modified by photo edit software.
Whoever did it, before you found it, did a good job.
The actual images/information are from 2009, and info may be found here...

(there are more)
Even the original version is over the top.
"Whoever did it, before you found it, did a good job. " - Apparently someone doesn't know what a good Photoshop looks like.
1) The 'u' in 'surve' was moved from the word 'youth'
2) The second 'o' in 'yooth' was copied from the first 'o' - that alone should be a dead giveaway that the image is fictionalized.
3) The fist 'i' in 'comminist' was cut from the word 'racest' - there is a blur where the original 'u' was in 'comminist' -a second clue that something isn't right.
4) The 'e' in 'racest' was copied from the word 'arrest' and re-sized to fit. The person who did the editing forgot to consider light and shadow, so the transplanted 'e' is actually darker than the surrounding text. A third clue. The 'u' in 'surve' also has a similar problem (in this case, it's lighter) and the angle of the marker differs with the rest of the word, making the stroke of the letter different. Those clues are harder to spot, so I can see someone missing them.
Anyway, not a great photoshop, and that someone bought into it wholesale indicates either one lacks analytic skills, or one has an overwhelming desire to spread any falsehood that fits one's personal agenda and/or beliefs.
