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.
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.
