Post Racial Society Exhibit C

I'm really saying "Ahhhh" now. In this post-racial society people certainly couldn't be burning KKK into the new black neighbor's lawn ...

Shortly after moving into their new home, an African American family was welcomed by someone burning "KKK" in their yard.

In a bustling neighborhood off Bonnabel Boulevard – near Lake Pontchartrain – one that was everything that this couple was looking for. Last Saturday, they moved in. They were proud to be on the block.

“it's a beautiful area, that's what we wanted," said the mother who wanted her name withheld.

Four days, later they were welcomed to the neighborhood with “KKK” and crosses littering the yard.

“In awe, in shock, I can’t explain it,” the husband said.

The letters were carefully shaped into the ground and easy to read, sending this African American couple in a predominately White neighborhood a clear message.

“I feel like I've been disrespected. Not just me, but my family. I feel like I'm being threatened, and those markings in our history, it's known for a marking of territory, to let you all know don't come back here,” the husband said. “You're not welcome.”

Yes, if we elect a man with a white mother and an African father, we will be truly post-racial.
