Racist Graffiti Hits Long Island Neighborhood

2008_11_masrs.jpgOn a quiet street in Mastic, residents found over a dozen cars had racial slurs sprayed on them. Newsday reports some target President-elect Obama--"The graffiti included racial slurs, as well as sexually graphic references."--and that neighbors were shocked, with one saying, "I'm really surprised. This is like the United Nations here." One of the victims told WCBS 880's Mike Xirinachs (who took the photo), "It's all over the place. It's just sickening. You know...it's sad. It really is sad," but another said, "One thing about something like this - when everybody becomes a victim - it brings us all a little bit closer together."

Racists on Long Island? Shocking.

I'd never live anywhere in NY that has the word Island on the end.

Mastic/Shirley is the white-trashiest part of LI.

republicans inciting rage yet again.

Mastic is a abyss of hillbilly ethic. This is the epicenter of white-trash ideals.

Welcome to Barack HUSSEIN Obama's Amerikka where cult followers spread their mayhem.

the news mentions the Secret Service will be involved in the investigation because threats to Obama were written.

A certain poster with initials HM must be from Long Island...

I motion for a proposition where we retroactively take away HUGO_MEGO's rights to post at the Gothamist.
