Racial slurs shock business owners


A Willcox businessman went to work Monday to find someone had covered the walls of his restaurant with racial slurs.

Slogans such "No N----- 4 Presaditend," "F--- Obama and Mike's Mama," and "White Power???," along with swastikas, are scrawled in spray paint across Michael's Restaurant on Haskell Avenue. Someone also threw a brick through his window.

Owner Michael Terrell said that he has received death threats ever since he showed the televised presidential candidate debates at his lounge.

1. Sickening, isn't it. These people are full of rage; too bad they're
directing it at the wrong target and are too stupid to figure that out.

6. Yet the N-word was apparently spelled correctly
at least with the right number of letters.

Priorities, you know. :eyes:

11. Well, I guess to people like the perpetrator, once you're labled a "*you-know-what* lover"
you're almost as much a target as (insert minority group members here). It's a kind of hatred that almost borders on the psychotic - just the absolute worst of human psychology and behavior. But as you always point out, lots of white folks just play dumb and pretend it doesn't "really" exist.

14. Oh yeah, it would be worth electing Obama just to watch millions of rednecks throw a collective
temper tantrum. I don't expect them to seek, or find, enlightenment, but it might at least humble them a bit. One can only hope...

10. That's Wilcox, ARIZONA, so let's hear McCain's response to this.
Does Cindy's family still have their mob connections there?
