Racist Texans Spray Paint ‘Everything From KKK To N***er’ On $50,000 Truck
The same thing is happening on the internet. There is a group of White Supremacists that do not want people of different races to associate and support each other online.
ADDICTING INFO
Josh Joseph went to visit his good friends Darren and Hayli Frank in Spring, Texas, just north of Houston, for the 4th of July weekend. He never expected that he was going to be offending anyone in the neighborhood by doing so. For the record, Josh is black, and his friends are white. They were celebrating the holiday out in their front yard, and one of their neighbors likely saw their black guest. When they woke up the next morning, the Franks’ $50,000 truck was covered in racist vulgarities that the vandals had spray-painted.
The Franks live in a pretty nice neighborhood. They never thought that they would be the victims of a hate crime, especially not in their area. But, as people are finding out, racism is everywhere, including places you’d least expect to find it. Even though the Franks lived in a decent area overall, Texas…

Holy smacks. I’m sure some of those idiots claim it’s all Obama’s fault.

Hey Two Sides. Of course. As Roof said, Blacks are taking over the country. There might just be a group that wants to tear down the White House and build another one after having a Black president and his family living there.

What is wrong with people??!! Heck, I’m even willing to vote for Hillary Clinton if it means a Democrat stays in the White House. I know how you feel about Hillary, Xena, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet!

Speaking of elections, Xena, my daughter’s polling place has a corner set up for children to “cast THEIR votes” while their parents are in the voting booth. In 2012, both of my grandsons were so proud of themselves that they got to “vote” for Obama!

Linda, that was sweet. I wish that the schools would teach children more about political positions and the election process. There are adults today who do not know the difference between a state representative and a U.S. representative.
I remember when Bush was campaigning promising that if elected, he would overturn legalized abortion. I cringed, thinking that only appeals to the ignorant. No one can overturn a U.S. Supreme Court decision other than that court, and they have to be petitioned, and the petitioner has to have standing. Bush can’t get pregnant and even if he was a she and could, the law says that if he/she doesn’t want an abortion, don’t have one.

Mindyme, we are at a time when security cameras are becoming more and more necessary. That is why I love having a dog. No one can come around my house, even the driveway, without her letting me know.

So much hate by a coward that has to do his/her evil deed under the cover of darkness.
Good to hear that some of their neighbors helped them clean it off.
Also, good to hear that they refuse to be intimated by it all and that they left the word “love” on their truck after removing the other part of “n….lover”

Yahtzee, I like that they left the word “love” too. That sends a powerful message to whomever defaced their truck.

I am conflicted whether the anger or the sadness should be my dominant response until I remember that sadness solves nothing. We have to get ANGRY about this!

Dreamer, I understand. I feel sadness for people who are evil and hateful because the joy they get from hurting others is an insatiable appetite that eventually consumes them. I don’t feel anger, but disgust, because I think of such people like skunks or constrictor snakes. It’s their instinct to be offensive.

Hey Chuquest! Right now I feel sleepy, which is expected due to the medication. I’m a vitamin, herbs and supplement person, but my doctor doesn’t want me taking herbs and supplements with the current medication. Hopefully I’ll be much better real soon.

On the subject of the KKK, Rev. William Barber pointed out in his sermon(in the link below) that Shelby, NC where murderer Dylan Roof was arrested was a hotbed of Klan activity and that the street Roof ended up on or near was the street named in honor of Thomas Dixon who wrote “Birth of a Nation.”

As I’ve told Xena before, I hated NC when I lived there. After a year and a half, I took another job and moved right back to Virginia. Of course, I lived in Northern Virginia (DC suburbs), which is more blue than red. Northern Virginia pays 90% of the State taxes and reaps only 10% id the benefits.

The South Carolina Senate has voted to remove the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the State House. The bipartisan proposal was approved by a 37-to-3 vote in the Republican-controlled Senate.
