(Black) Man charged with burning cross in (His Own) driveway
Panama City News-Herald ^ | 11-15-11 | Chris Olwell

PANAMA CITY — A recent cross burning at the home of a Panama City mixed-race couple does not signal the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan; it was the symptom of something understandable to anyone who’s ever been afraid of losing someone.

LB Williams, a 50-year-old black man, his wife of nearly seven years Donna Williams, who is white, and their bi-racial daughter found a cross burning in their driveway Nov. 4. Their grandchild was home too.

“When I saw that cross burning, I was scared to death,” Donna Williams said. “I was terrified…we all were.”

They called police and reported it. Her grandbaby still reports seeing fires outside the house, even when there are none. There’s a scar burned into the driveway in the shape of a cross, she said.

(SNIP)

Two days later, Donna found a note taped to the front door and the side entrance of the house. She paraphrased:

“They were watching us, I assumed me and the kids, and that I better not leave that [N-word],” Donna Williams said. The note was signed “KKK.”

This was another odd development.

“When did the KKK start supporting black and white, interracial marriages?” she asked.

Police thought so too. On Monday, LB Williams admitted to setting the fire and posting the notes, according to the arrest affidavit charging him with two felonies: domestic violence stalking and exhibits that intimidate. He did it, he said, so she wouldn’t proceed with the divorce she filed for.

How many cases of faked racism have we seen now, in the last several years?

Dozens, at least.

He didn’t want a divorce.

So he blamed it on the Klan. How convenient!

Just cry racism and let slip the dogs of pretended bigotry!

“(Black) Man charged with burning cross in (His Own) driveway”

For those who don’t get past titles when reading headlines such as this on YahooNews or wherever, this story would take on a whole other meaning.

Actual title at link:
“Man charged with burning cross in driveway”

Thanks for the two (....) additions.

“The cross and the notes were the desperate acts of a desperate man, Williams said.”
“We don’t care if it’s the first act of “Henry V,” we’re leaving!”
- Kudos to Blazing Saddles. It never gets old.

Was that a black or white or mixed asphalt driveway? Just curious.

It’s late and I’m tired of working.

Enough to the point were I assume it's BS until proven otherwise.

They learned it from the two biggest (and successful race batters) Jessie Jackson & Al Sharpton.
90% of what they say is a LIE.

It is? The MSM is always trying to excuse black racial crap.

The KKK needs to sue these people for defamation. That would be hilarious.

Foolish, but not political in intent. Not as bad as the 'whatever' who savages himself to falsely prove that people want to savage his group.
