Pitcairn PA - Hate Crime Investigation Underway

http://m.wtae.com/news/mom-finds-racial-slur-spraypainted-on-car-fbi-to-get-involved/41008092


Last Wednesday, Courtney Mike-Wilson found the “N” word spray-painted in white on the passenger side of her car.

“I probably didn’t actually see this till maybe late afternoon when I was putting stuff into the car and was like, 'What is this?'” Mike-Wilson said.

Just a few days later, she found her daughter’s dodgeballs, normally kept behind porch furniture, had been slashed with a knife and placed on her doormat.

“That morning they were popped in front of my door just so I can’t miss them. I think that’s what scares me right there is you have no problem coming on my front porch,” she said.


The racist domestic terrorists have won.

She's moving - you can help her with 1st and last month's rent here:

Someone posted something about us having to explain why racial justice is more important than economic.

I think it's pretty clear- she was doing okay but racists have fucked up her peaceful existence. Racists are causing her financial distress.

Anyone who can't see it has their head up their a$$.

“She can’t walk to the park anymore. She can’t go to the day care. I don’t tell her what’s going on."
Gasoline poured over her toys...a four year-old!

That little girl can't take a job from anyone.

She's not in the banking industry.


She is in the foster system - so I highly doubt she has a silver spoon in her mouth.


So why do they hate her again?

It was bad enough when Obama won and the "Tea Party" started all the racist hate, but now we've got a presidential nominee who revels in it.

is caused by our slavery past, consequent segregationist ideology(SA learned from us), leading up to Nixon-Atwater, Ronald Reagan, GWB and his vice-chancellor, all who subtely or openly preach hate and seperation in racial matters, the Tea Party-Libertarians, now David Duke(running for Senate again) and the New Nazi Party of America and their Fuhrer, the Repulican cadidate for POTUS.....shameful how this racial hate just won't die and has been taught to every generation since slavery. Talk about long term agenda????......whew!!! Just fucking hateful and crazy.
