A black Bronx man feels he’s being forced out of his luxury high-rise in predominantly white Riverdale after waking Friday to find racially charged graffiti scrawled on his truck for the second time, he told the Daily News.

Menuhin Hart, 54, said he discovered the hateful message: “U Shood Move” spray-painted on his 2011 Dodge Ram pickup truck as he left to run errands with his Army vet brother.

In 2013, his truck was keyed on every panel, and the words “black n-----” were clearly scratched into the paint, he said. …

Something fishy here. Riverdale has a steady percent of black population just under eight percent, and this fellow is somehow “targeted”?

Maybe. But there are still genuine racist @$$hole$ out there. Too bad the hoaxes place doubt on the real ones.

How the hell did the brother's military status get to be part of the story?
More 21st Century "journalism."

Not only that, but “Riverdale man moving after racially-charged messages are vandalized on his car” Now why, oh why, would anyone vandalize a racially charged message?

“forced out of his luxury high-rise “

Our house previous to this one was in a very diverse neighborhood, 17 years ago. A young man I actually knew and his girlfriend lived in the back of the neighborhood. It was all over the news how someone broke into their home and painted racist comments on the walls. Turned out it was his girlfriend. I never did find out why she did it.

If this had happened to a WHITE person it wouldn’t even be news.

About 25 yrs ago we lived in a mixed neighborhood in Spring Valley, NY. At the time there was a nasty housing discrimination suit going on across the Hudson Riv in Yonkers. Some Jewish woman, claiming to be a “community activist” trying to end racism who lived in the “good” part of Yonkers claimed someone painted a swastika on the side of her house. It turned out to be yet another hoax, this was on the heels of the Tawana Brawley fiasco. One of our neighbors, a Black woman who recently moved from there told me she this bimbo has quite a reputation of being a nut job.

You're right of course, racists exist, exacerbated by the racist in chief obama but the race card has been so over played as to be rendered meaningless.

Why would someone vandalize messages? One would think the messages themselves are the vandalism but the headline implies otherwise.

This will get vast nationwide media coverage. Yet, daily, many elderly white folks, who are unable to move out of black ghettos are routinely victims of black racism/violence, with nary a word from the lib MSM.
