Black Man Arrested After Admitting to Posting Racist Signs Outside Black Churches

Forty-four-year-old Vincent Broughton of Colorado Springs, Colo., is facing charges of bias-motivated crime, harassment, littering and disorderly conduct.

A Colorado Springs, Colo., man was arrested Tuesday after admitting to local station KRDO that he was the one who posted racially charged signs outside two churches and around the city, KRDO reports.

Vincent Broughton, who is black, faces charges of committing a bias-motivated crime, disorderly conduct, harassment and littering, the news site notes.

The signs were first put up outside New Covenant Church of God in Christ, and referenced the Ku Klux Klan. On Monday, three signs were found outside the Relevant Word Christian Cultural Center. Broughton didn’t seem to be attempting to hide his association with the signs, however, as one of the signs he posted listed his phone number.

"I did it. Probably about 100 or so, I'd come downtown every day and put up the posters," he told the news station. "I want people to know how corrupt these people that run the town are, the police department, City Council and people in the community."

Messages on the signs include "Black Men Be Aware. You Are the Target," "This Church Works for the KKK” and "This Church Identified as Devil's [sic] for the KKK, the Police…"

Everything and anything can be a crime if you irritate certain people. What a “transformed” country.

These guys are always trying to “make a statement about white racism” with this nonsense. Of course they are really truing to whip up racial anger and division but when they get caught it’s always “I was bringing attention to the white patriarchy hegemony paradigm of our corporate bugoies system.”

A black church near us found a burning cross on their church sign. Everyone believes they started it themselves. First, it was “found” burning in the middle of a drizzly freezing night so no way anyone was outside. Second, the sign was far away from the deacons’ houses and on the opposite side of the sign. Third, the smoke barely darkened the sign. Fourth, there was no ready water to put out a fire. But they expect us to believe someone was outside in the middle of the night, dressed and in their boots with a bucket of water just in case there was a fire. Of course, they haven’t repainted the smudge spot so it’s there making a point.

Looked up Relevant Word Christian Cultural Center. Appears to be a really diverse congregation with a black pastor. Wonder what he’s got against it.
