Black dude spraying Swastikas? Wonder what his angle is or what hes trying to accomplish when that type of graffiti is usually associated with a specific group of people….?

I seeent it. Mr do do. He’s trying to set up the white man. Or is he switching sides and realizing the white way to be. Whatever the case may be. he is the culprit just check out the news buuuuddddds

When society constantly emphasizes that whites are evil oppressors and blacks are victims, blacks start to form a victim-mentality, and they also realize that by playing the victim they will get certain advantages. That’s why they’re so fast to call you a racist, or spraypaint a swastika, or otherwise say they were “discriminated” against — society has socialized them in that way.

Multi-racial white supremacists strike again!

My take is that this is not a hate crime, but is a hateful act by someone that dose not respect others property. I say this because the graffiti was not just Swastikas on Black Churches. it was all kinds of juvenile graffiti. It was not only black churches. it was 0ver 22 downtown businesses. Including Antioch city cars in City Halls parking lot. Thank God the painter only had a spray paint can and not a gun to get his frustrations out. This person needs mental help. Trust this, you can take sides and find justification to hate or you can look at the big picture and recognize that their are others out their with a gun ready to inflict bodily harm instead of painting over a building . Thats what we should really be concerned with instead of launching more hate on social media.

Swatiskas is always a hate crime, regardless of where it’s painted. Swatiskas are a very racist Nazi-Germany message – hatred towards Jews.
