...and THAT ruined a perfectly lovely saturday for me. o(

yes, it is appalling to see, and that these thoughts still flourish in the 21st century, but thoughts like these help keep me from curb-stomping people: acts like these stem from ignorance and feelings of powerlessness and fear, so the ass monkey that sprayed that is probably already living the shit life they deserve.

As someone who has dealt with this sort of thing first hand, I can tell you that it doesnt anger me so much as it make me sad. The sad reality, is that I have to teach my children that this too WILL happen to them someday, in one way or another.......

We'll always have these types of people who do this..they are uneducated, they are racist and they are the absolute bottom of the barrel type of people in society. When you see it up close and personal like this it's overwhelming and makes you sick to your stomach. People that see color in others are truly color blind...I prefer to see what's on the inside of people.

Unfortunately.. the person who did that probably is some child who watched to many episodes of Dave Chappelle with his lil buddies. I think our culture in a attempt to push the envelope with regards to "freedom of speak" amongst others thing has disensitized the youth to the point of thinking their words or actions have no consequences. (they think everything has a pause and restart button). Am I disgusted? Nah. These burnings of all black churches in the last 5-8 years disgust me.. Cowards voice their opinions in anonymity, so I feel sad if this was a bonafibe racist defacing of property because whoever it was lacked the testicular fortitude to stand by and own up to it.

I can't imagine how tough it will be to explain to their young son about this. He shouldn't have to deal with this at such a young age. This is the first time I've seen this done in town. Sadly, I thought people in central WI wern't this ignorant, I guess I was wrong!

I Feel bad for the people this happened to. Hate only spreads more hate. There is no place in the world for this.

Honestly, I've encountered some pretty ignorant ppl here. I think because most cities/towns in WI have <1% black population, so many ppl are just plain dumb about things, and believe whatever stereotypes they saw on tv/ movies. Although I've only seen hate like that in other places I've lived, I'm not surprised to see a dumbass like that in WI. Disappointed & saddened, but not surprised.

Dude, morons like that are everywhere. I live in an ultra accepting city, but what many Seattle dwellers don't realize is, once you leave the Puget Sound area, it's very much like the picture you posted above. I lived in Spokane, Wa. for two years, previous home of the Aryan Brotherhood. Would you like to take any guesses how many little prick racists still live there? My future brother in law is going to school in Spokane at the moment, and he is African-American (<-- I hate having to use that term, he's a black dude, I'm a white dude, and he's about to be my brother! As a matter of fact, he's more African than American, lol.), and I've had to sit him down and have a talk with him about where to go and where not to go in that city.

When I hang out with him, which I'm about to go paintballing with him in about 30 mins, I get a little eye opener as to how he gets treated sometimes. It's not all the time, and it's not by everybody, but I still notice it sometimes.

This crap still happens. Wife (Korean) had words with another mother in school parking lot yesterday because her daughter (6 years old) made inappropriate racial comments about our son. God give me patience.

Best thing the neighborhood can do is band together and paint the garage door. Send a statement IMO

Idiots abound, unfortunately. I've seen ugly racism directed toward ALL races in my job. I hate it. I wish I could wave a wand and ignorance would disappear...not gonna happen.

I actually see the other spectrum from this ignorance. My first born is half American Indian. When I introduce him or he introduces me to people we get weird looks. You know what there thinking and it saddens me alot of times. Ignorance starts at home with parenting and it doesn't matter what color you are or where you come from. It's just sad really.
