AURORA, Colo. — Pastor Oshaine Wynter moved to Colorado less than a year ago to join a ministry. Now, he's having to explain to his young daughters why racist messaging was spray painted on his garage door.
"This happened on Saturday night right when I came back from church," Wynter said.
Photos of the vandalism showed the N-word spray painted on Wynter's garage door. Above the N-word the letters, "B-O-P" were also sprayed.
"I think that message states that we're not welcome and it's a horrible reminder of our past," Wynter said.
The pastor said he read online the letters "B-O-P" could stand for "body out of place."
The garage is located in his apartment complex on East Applewood Circle in Aurora.
"Well, it's hard not to believe this is targeted towards me, especially the fact the I'm the only African-American person on this block with a garage," Wynter said. "The N-word is placed specifically on my garage."
Aurora Police said they're investigating the case as a "bias motivated" crime. Right now, officers have no suspects.
Those with information are asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
Blah blah blah
Yeah, Saudi Aurora is pretty ‘diverse’. Which makes this story more entertaining.
“...especially the fact the I’m the only African-American person on this block with a garage...”
I doubt it’s racism...probably just a simple case of garage-envy.
And BOP? Could stand for “Bitter Outdoor Parker”.
Last month, I sold one of my fix n flips on East 13th Place in Aurora to some immigrants from Burma. They were political refugees and told me that Aurora had been designated by the Feds as the new safe haven. I'm so ignorant about that stuff. Nice family, though.
I suspected another fake hate crime and his name tells me all I need to know.
Indeed. I'd put money on him having done this himself in any case. Gotta wonder if any of the houses around have cameras.
It would be interesting (well, a little) to check his search history for “rental properties”.
Most hate crimes are faked.
A political scientist found that fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 such allegations was genuine.

This is a very quiet neighborhood out in the burbs. And I also never heard of “BOP.”
Sure smells like a hoax.
Hoax in 3,2,1...
Be bop a loo.😏
Hoax. Vegas wouldn’t even cover a bet on it. Not enough takers to cover one loss.
