Racist stickers found on East Austin businesses

Nope, no racism problem in this country. None at all. </sarcasm>

As mentioned in the article, it is interesting how "professional" those signs are. It wasn't graffiti or a printout of a word doc. Somebody went to some effort to make those.

Looks like you have a personal vendetta against these types of people. All you do is spout the same thing over and over again, like a broken record.

Lets set this straight right now. If one was a true follower of Christ, they cannot possibly be racist. Looks like youre clinging to some bizarre stereotype. Let it go.

Yes, but it IS possible to CLAIM (often quite loudly) to be a true follower of Christ, and still be a racist.

I live in the South ... we're ripe with people who claim they're Christians, attend church every Sunday, and truly believe they are Christians, who are in fact very very racist.

I think maybe I'm going to bring this incident up to the barista next time I go to Starbucks.

I think that this should not be treated as just an act of graffiti (a misdemeanor) per the article, but as a hate crime.

I also think it is unfair to paint a whole city, group, or religion as racist based on the actions of a few.

Do you know something the police don't know? I suggest you contact the Austin police department immediately!

Let us know how grateful they are for your insight into the situation.
