Racially charged writing on pickup truck unnerves nearby workers
WBTV (Charlotte) News ^ | August 18, 2017 | Amanda Foster

Employees of a Huntersville business park say they are uncomfortable after finding a truck parked there with racially charged wording written on it.

The writing said things like "Obama did Charlottesville."

Those employees of Birkdale Business Park say they confronted the driver of the truck, who admitted to writing the words himself.

"I had never seen the truck before in the entire time I had been there," one woman, who asked not to be named, said. "It was a statement."

She says she believes the driver parked the truck in front of her workplace because the majority of employees there are African American.

"I felt like I was back in the 60s," she said.

On Thursday morning, the truck arrived again. Though the words had been washed away, employees say the damage is done.

I believe it is communism: "Dear Morons, tearing down those monuments is communism".

WBT, radio and TV, are about as “Southern” as Joy Behar - and as Liberal-Leftist.

Maybe it’s me but why on earth would anyone with a brain be unnerved by writing on a truck?

- Not worthy of notice; insignificant; trifling: a minute problem.
- Of minor importance: minute differences

Boo Hoo.

I’m offended by this:

Girl killed at stoplight in Jacksonville, Miss. Shot through the window by a black animal.

Seems a little more significant than “barky did charlottesville”

Since when is “moron” and “idiot” “racially charged”?

Snowflakes are in meltdown mode - everything scares them so bad they smell like pee all the time.

Reminds me of a guy on a S. MS Pier who noted my firearm on my hip and asked if I was law enforcement. When I told him I was just a citizen, he went on and on about how damn scary it was to folks to see someone with a gun. After "debating" (can't really debate with a loony toon) I told him he was really full of it because if I was so damn scary we wouldn't be having that conversation. He had no response.

Isn’t SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER a good thing?

I seem to remember anything I may have found offensive was described as SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER.

Freedom of speech is for both sides.

Jackson, MS.

It was right by the hospital where my oldest daughter was born.

A few years ago, a childhood friend and neighbor was murdered not far from there. The perp was given ten years. If they ever catch the killer in this case, I guess a similar sentence will be given.

As usual, male black on female white murder gets no play in the MSM. Reverse it (male white perp/female black vic) and imagine the resulting riots and property damage and politicians crying their eyes out on TV. Ours gets teddy bears and candles on the sidewalk. And a black affirm action police chief who says he is searching for an “individual” he says it would be nice to find. Truly, BLM. But WLM? Not much anymore.

IMHO, no. I just can’t say what I think. It is not permitted.

Now a political statement is racist. See where this is headed?

The truck’s owner defaced his/her own vehicle with this garbage? Yeah right. Note the lack of any attempt to discern who the owner was, and the assumption that the heretofore unknown truck was parked there just to discomfit AA’s, yet the truck was seen again the next day sans graffiti. Sort of as if the owner was displeased and washed it off.

Amended headline:

“Snowflakes Vandalize Truck in Victimhood Hoax”

Note the difference in writing style between the two sides of the truck. Two different scribes at minimum. Nearby workers were probably unnerved while writing it.

Those employees can’t handle the truth.
