It's sad, but I think there will always be these kinds of people everywhere on Earth. We just have to continue to teach love, tolerance, and acceptance and hope it gets through to the majority.

This happened to my car in MD. I think it was just some bored teens with nothing to do in the summer.

BTW this happens everywhere

The thing that saddens me is that we, Black folk, are so collectively mentally ill that we call each other that word everyday and all day and convince ourselves that it's okay. IT'S NOT!!!!!

I know that it sounds corny. However, bury the word. Stop believing that you are that and stop calling people that look like you and your family that word. I know that some of our favorite entertainers have convinced us that we've taken the word and made it ours. In doing so, we've transformed the word from something derogatory to something endearing. Nothing doing! You can spice up chitterlings and make them taste good. However, no one in his or her right mind can say that chitterlings are good for you.

I agree that this was likely the work of bored teenagers just trying to be as offensive as they could. I wonder what the explicit drawing was? Kind of important to know that to form context around the story...

Either way, this is completely unacceptable and I hope they catch whoever did it and punish the person (people) responsible. Even if it's just kids, they need to know better.

A lot of your posts against your own race are corny and uncalled for. Also, stop slick dissing on the whole race (i.e we, black folk) because all black people are nothing like this foolishness you posted above.
