A Florida woman who posted a photo on her Instagram page of two white men portraying the Trayvon Martin shooting has been fired from her job.

Caitlin Cimeno was seen pictured with the men earlier this week. William Filene, dressed as Trayvon Martin appeared in blackface with a stained hoodie. The photo caused outrage online and as a result, Cimeno deleted all of her social media accounts.

From Rolling Out:

It was later discovered that Cimeno, William Filene and Greg Cimeno have a history of crime and racism.  Caitlin Cimeno, who posted the picture on her Instagram account, once berated a black girl on social media who wore a “Black Girls Rock” T-shirt.  Under the photo, Cimeno wrote “First of all, sorry but mommy lied to you and secondly, if I was wearing a short that said ‘white girls rock’ I would be stared at and called a racist cracker.”

A call was placed to Cimeno’s job to report the incident. That was when her employer revealed that she had been fired.
