I felt really compelled to inform my readers about this latest case of the Ku Klux Klan rearing its ugly head, in part, because a fellow Jamaican was on the receiving end.According to the Daily Voice, Jonathan and Sol Whyte, who reside in Medford, Oregon, were shocked to find a flaming cross and the letters KKK burned into their yard on Monday. According to KDRV-TV, police said the suspects also left an explosive device at the home of the victims.
The Whytes and their two daughters, aged two and four, have lived in the neighborhood for several years, but they told reporters that they have never experienced racism like this. The incident took place just before midnight when Sol Whyte heard the sound of fire outside. Witnesses said there were three people on the scene and a neighbor tried to follow the suspects but they got away. The FBI is assisting local police with the investigation.
This is a real shame. As I have said before, these racists are cowards. My position is that if they believe in the “cause” they champion, why hide? Show yourself and let the chips fall where they may. They didn’t bother to think that the explosive device could have harmed the young children of this man. Racism has always been a problem in America, but this presidential election has brought the worst out in many people. Actually, it has shown us their true colors. But, a few words of caution, blacks will not be deterred or scared of these cowards, so bring it on! To my Jamaican brother, hold tight man and nuff respects!
