A black business owner in Youngstown, Ohio said she received a threatening, racist note at her business weeks before her truck was set ablaze on Monday, according to television station WKBN.
Nicole Rhodes, who owns a beauty school, said she found a note posted on the door to the business within the last three weeks. The note read, “We don’t want you here black b***h. Don’t get burnt up in there,” according to the TV station.
Then on Monday, Rhodes’ 2006 F-150 truck went up in flames, and the fire department ruled it arson. Police had no leads on who committed the crimes, according to the station.
Watch the TV station’s report:
Spinning Into Butter. For the insurance and public attention.
Ya know, if she still has the note (like, it didn’t burn up in the truck) that might be some mighty significant evidence for tracking down the perp.
Hope she still has it and that they catch the person.
You lie! Chief Justice Roberts has assured us that racism doesn’t hardly exist anymore! Maybe you truck just spontaneously combusted?
what the hell are you talking about?
Perhaps. But at this point it appears there were several notes, and police had classified this note as “menacing”.
