McKinney TX Woman In Upscale Neighborhood Obama Sign Defaced w/ NIGGER LOVER Message

[egbertowillies]

Friday morning as I walked into my office I received a text message on my phone from a friend. She told me that she had a story that I must blog. I am having a busy week so I am a bit late. That said, the message is not too late to put out there.

My friend sent me the offensive photo here along with the Facebook name of the woman who this occurred to. She was adamant that I contact this woman. She told me in no uncertain terms that we simply should not let this incident go without as massive a coverage as we can provide.

I contacted the woman to get more information. Following is the response I got from her.

I live in a fairly nice neighborhood in McKinney Texas, where we pay through the nose for HOA dues. My next door neighbor rang my doorbell this morning and showed me my sign, which he had kindly removed from the ground. We have at least 4 African American families living on this street. I’m so offended, not just because whoever did this is ignorant and misinformed and trespassed and vandalized my sign, but infinitely more for my neighbors who might have driven by and seen it.

Thanks for blogging about it. I’m doing the same.

Cassy

I then contacted her about sending me the original picture without the offensive word blocked out. I think the constant political correctness of talking about the N-word as opposed to the word NIGGER as if we are children make us deal with these issues like high school children.

I also asked her for personal information she was willing to divulge about herself publicly. Following is the uncensored photograph.

1. Romeny and Ryan MUST reject and denounce

Says a lot about the kind of people that Romney and Ryan appeal to.

2. I didn't go to my first segregated school until I was 11

and even that was a joke, it was every color of humanity except African.

I went to mixed parties in the early 60s. That was a big deal to classmates, who used the N** Lover slur.

I had the presence of mind to say at least I was capable of love, while it looked like they were not.

They didn't bother me with it often.

3. Yeah, that's purely ignorant. I am surprised racist farm animals like that can even spell.

However, the reasonably readable writing shows that they did manage to overcome the seeing disabilities imposed by their hoods.

[kalli007]

4. They didn't even spell Christian right

Geez.

[Thinkingabout]

5. This has to come from very small minded individuals

Probably claim to be christians, what would Jesus do, surely not this.

[atreides1]

18. Many claim to be Christian...

...but not many can live up to the standards.

6. The bizarre thing...I think it was a woman

I don't know why I don't expect women to be hateful like this, but it is more shocking to me that a woman did this than a man. But the handwriting looks feminine to me. Particularly the side that read "Romney/Ryan" etc.

[kestrel91316]

7. Definitely female lettering. And young-ish.

[d_r]

21. me too

I don't know why that surprised me, but it did.

"Republicans Rule!" Really? That's what you come up with? Woohoo!

8. But...Texas is turning blue!

[Ishoutandscream2]

10. Glad you find this funny

We Texans here on this board are talking about changes, but not blue yet. The big cities - Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio - go Democratic. And with our state becoming a minority/majority state, I can see us turning blue within ten years.

But keep on hating and laughing. Your bigotry toward our state is noted. I'm sure there's no racism in Michigan.

[mythology]

12. Thank you for the work in Texas

It's easy to stereotype the south (I'm from Texas originally but I haven't lived there in over a decade), but there are a lot of good people there and a growing number of Democrats.

[Jennicut]

13. I give you tons of credit and I am a New England yankee.

Fighting for Dems and liberal ideas is much harder in a red state where you get threatened for your bumper stickers or your signs get vandalized.
I have it easy in Connecticut and I know it. So I appreciate our red state Duers.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Thank you.

[Doctor_J]

22. The only funny thing about it is the thought that it's turning

My hat is off to all of you who work to clean up your corners of Bushland. But state-wide your situation is getting worse. The governor & Senators & legislature as a whole are getting more reactionary, not less. If you would be less offended by me shaking my head instead of rofl, at the thought of Cornyn and Bailey and Perry, I'll do that. I laugh to keep from sobbing at how bad things are in Fox Nation.

27. Thanks For Nothing. (nt)

[w8liftinglady]

30. which is why we are working like Crazy to get Sadler in Senate

Paul Sadler would make a big start in turning Texas Blue...bringing the progressive republicans over here (and,yes, there are a lot of middle-of-the roads...industry,engineering,medicine,colleges).
Reality about Texas Democratic Party,at least for the next decade...we will be moderate and more bilingual.
Our Party Platform says it all.

25. I'm right there with you. Ignore the haters.

They're just jealous we live here. Oh, and then there's the ignorance of life here and the changes we will see within a decade.

15. And You've Turned Completely Brown, And Pointed At Both Ends.

All You Michiganders are really smart, so I'm sure you know what I mean---right?

[Indpndnt]

23. Well, bless your heart.

Are you on some sort of medication, you poor thing?

9. My sign in west Houston is regularly sliced in half with a box cutter

My neighbor's sign was set on fire Friday night. No problem, the Houston Arson squad is investigating - never knew the HPD had so many good democrats!

Meanwhile, I'm the precinct chair - I have plenty of signs.

[Ishoutandscream2]

11. Nothing physical yet

My bumpersticker on my van attracts glares, stares, honking of horns, and an occasional flipping of the bird. In 2004, I had a Kerry sticker and sign on my lawn. The sign survived. but my mechanic found two nails placed in perfect position in each of my rear tires.

[RKP5637]

20. Yep, and really shows what the GOP is made of!!! n/t

[Sunlei]

28. put up hidden cams

[lillypaddle]

16. Pathetic n/t

[CanonRay]

17. They spray painted Obama signs with that word in 2008 in our county

I saw it myself. This used to be a big KKK area, and I think a lot of that lingers.

[RKP5637]

19. Today's GOP is the KKK, bigots, jesus freaks, sociopaths and stupid all rolled into one. n/t

[Indpndnt]

24. The handwriting on that defaced sign is a woman's, probably a young woman's.

But what's a "Christiam?"

[Bluenorthwest]

26. I figure 'Chistiam' is the term for Mitt, who denies the virgin birth of Christ but is their

brother because he is racist and homophobic...not exactly a Christian, but he does share their hate....

[kysrsoze]

29. I'd leave the sign up and put up another sign; "Here's what one of my illiterate neighbors thinks."
