Black California family shocked by arson attempt, spray-painted swastikas and racial slurs
A panicked family of seven bolted out of their California home early Wednesday as somebody tried to torch the two-story home with Molotov cocktails after spray-painting racist slurs across its facade, police said.
Roshon Williams was rousted awake by her 28-year-old daughter who screamed, “Mom, the house is on fire,” around 3:15 a.m., according to NBC Bay Area.
Williams grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed out the backdoor of her Antioch home together with her family.
That’s when they noticed the vandalism.

NOT!!!!!! In this day of the trumpenfuhrer, and I know I'm not saying anything not known, but stay aware of your surroundings people. The trumpenfuhrer has opened a Pandora's Box of latent, virulent and murderous american racism and as our POTUS has said, started to again normalize white racial hate and white bigotry. I feel like I'm in Vietnam again where even during sleep one eye must be open and ears ALWAYS tuned to disturbance. How is that possible? It takes training, but one of my claims to fame from Vietnam???? I was ALWAYS first to shout INCOMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On further thought about this racism and the rise of the murderous white supremacist movement. It only took a slimy creature like the trumpenfuhrer to nick it's scaly skin to start the oozing out of the hate and fear that many white americans felt at the election of a man with brown skin to POTUS. And the reelection made that ooze a tidal wave.
Yet I am glad that finally we can be in a position to know how many are driven by their fear and hate of minorities. I at one time had to fight my thoughts because I thought they were just wrong and maybe just a little bit paranoid. Well they weren't and I'm not. Someone told me last week that his cadre of followers were just disaffected young and old white males. While that is true, I saw a photo of his post Mexico rally in Arizona last week and the number of young and old white women screaming in adulation of their fuhrer proved my point of the overall fear, genderwise, that pervades the american election landscape. America with this election season, you have shown me everything I will ever have to know about what has been right under the surface of american culture, ALWAYS, and what it has taken to cause this racist, hateful eruption of malevolent viciousness......an AA POTUS..
