Houston - Rãi truyền đơn
by 8DonCo Tue Feb 08, 2022 9:02 pm
A community in Northwest Harris County woke up Sunday morning to White supremacist flyers on their car windshields and even on the front doors of their homes, according to William White, director of operations at the Houston chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The title of the flyer is, "2026: A Race Odyssey." It goes on to say, "Think about it! At the current rate of decline, what will America's major cities look like in ten years?" The center of the flyer has a racist caricature depicting African Americans in negative racial stereotypes. The flyer then provides a web address for recipients to follow.
"I do believe that this is about voter intimidation," White said. "There's no place for that in the city."
February is Black History month and the next election, the primary, in Harris County is March 1, with early voting starting next Monday.
White says he is not disclosing the name of the impacted neighborhood for safety reasons, but says the community is very diverse. At least four residents received the flyers, per White, but he says some people might be afraid to come forward and report the act. And none of the residents, he says, are willing to talk to reporters; but one of them called his office to report the incident. CAIR Houston is investigating and hoping that home security cameras captured the perpetrators in the act of distributing the flyers.
White says he is working to gather more evidence to present to Harris County law enforcement and the FBI. And he hopes elected officials denounce the racist act.
In an email to CNN, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said deputies took an incident report from one resident, which would be forwarded to the office's Homeland Security Bureau for further investigation.
The FBI is not confirming or denying an investigation is underway into this incident, but sent CNN the following statement:
"The FBI Houston Field Office is aware of the incident involving the distribution of white supremacist flyers in a Northwest Harris County neighborhood and we are in regular contact with local authorities. FBI policy prohibits confirming or denying an investigation. However, if during the local investigation, information becomes known of a potential federal civil rights violation, the FBI is prepared to investigate," said the FBI Houston Field Office statement to CNN.
"The FBI is the lead investigative agency for criminal violations of federal civil rights statutes. In October 2021, FBI Houston launched our participation in a nationwide initiative that encourages the public to report allegations of hate crime to law enforcement," the FBI statement went on to say.

rồi lại trở về cái thời trước Martin Luther King ... dân da trắng là đấng thượng tôn, là vương quyền, đại chủ ... dân da màu là kẻ hạ, bần cùng ...
