First off, this is Texas. If what you're implying is that six "AAs" are going to attempt to jump someone, they should expect nothing short of gunfire in return. Furthermore, apparently you missed this post..

So much for white republican Christians not being racist....

Excuse me but I didn't read the part in the article where the culprits were found to be white, republican Christians. Could you point that out to me. Or are you just conservative/republican/Christian bashing as is so typical of the secular left. For all we know, they could have been leftists trying to foment trouble between conservatives and blacks, a favorite tactic of theirs.

Why do you think that "white republican Christians" were the vandals who applied these stickers, which were not reflective of store policy?

There are a few racists...therefore everyone is racist! It really seems like that is what the media is doing to us all. They find anything they can find for shock value. There are always going to be racists and a host of other dumb things going on. The majority of people don't really have time for all that nonsense, but as I stated in the first sentence, people love to think in extremes. If you don't look at reality, it is easier. Just say, everyone is racist, so you don't need to think.

But you may watch this video and think, "Wow, what an awesome guy!" Who knows.

Here's more about Adam Reposa - the guy who put up the stupid stickers:

Maybe some Artist's 'Political Satire'? *shrugs*

Seems to me that more than normal effort was put into this 'vandalism' of businesses.

I also think it is unfair to paint a whole city, group, or religion as racist based on the actions of a few.
Yes, just as all black's are not criminals, poor, or uneducated.
