More on the Albany Park racist grafitti
One slightly humorous note in all this: some neighbors seem to think that the vandalism was sparked by a rumor that survivors of Hurricane Katrina were living, rent-free, in the building. I don't know everyone who lives there, but I'm relatively sure there's no truth to that rumor.
But it reminded me of Jesse Jackson's campaign not to refer to the Katrina evacuees as "refugees."
And, if some racist idiot managed to get the West African refugees confused with New Orleanians, well, I guess that does prove Jackson's case. Sort of.
Comments
The persons or persons who put racist grafitti on a apartment building in Albany Park, are nothing more than cowards. They probally couldn't define intelligently the difference between being a refugee, immigrant or for that matter what it means to be a citizen of the US. Racism and bigotry is alive and well. At least among the many cowards who convey such a message!
