Scott Lattin, a white man in Whitney, Texas, told police that Black people vandalized his truck by spray painting “Black Lives Matter” over the top of his truck’s previously decorated messages that showed support of police. Lattin contacted the police on September 8th.

Whitney Police Chief Chris Bentley describes the incident as “very disturbing”, and also left this statement:

We had initial video when the officers took the report and then when we saw your story on Channel 4. When we looked at those two videos, there were some differences in those and that led us to take the investigation into a different direction

Lattin denied that he vandalized his own truck, but according to the arrest warrant, Lattin did indeed vandalized his truck for insurance reasons.

Here’s the link to the story.

Here is a video clip of the news story as well.

Black Woman In Ohio Suffers Property Damage By White Extremists https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-woman-in-ohio-suffers-property-damage-by-white-extremists/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/black-woman-in-ohio-suffers-property-damage-by-white-extremists/#comments Wed, 12 Aug 2015 18:42:41 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2315 In the minds of many, the South is where the majority of the U.S.’s racism occurs. However, events that have occurred in recent years have dispelled that theory.

In Youngstown, Ohio, a Melanoid business owner by the name of Nicole Rhodes has been forced to fear for her life. Earlier this week, she was met with the sight of her Ford pickup truck destroyed by fire. Attached to the truck was a menacing letter left by white extremists. The following photo reveals the content of the letter and her truck that was destroyed:

After being exposed to such horrific imagery, Ms. Rhodes went on to say “This can’t be real. This just can’t be real,” Rhodes told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. “It just cannot be this serious. Black skin just can’t be this serious. Black skin just can’t make you go destroying property.” Although Ms. Rhodes is currently an owner of a building which houses a beauty salon in the area, she is working towards relocating her business elsewhere.

The attack on Nicole Rhodes and her family appears to be a tactic long used by white supremacists when attempting to disenfranchise Melanoid people from positions of power and ownership. Attacks of this caliber have taken place numerous times in this country’s history, and it is no exception in 2015.
