If you haven’t seen it on the national news, you’ll hear it here – an interracial couple in Lowell has been the subject of frequent racist attacks on their home, including “We will burn you out” spray painted on the side of their home and a noose with a note being left in front of their door. Apparently the messages have been pretty standard and expected, though frightening for 2010 — one message said “We don’t approve. End it,”, further claiming “If your daddy knew what you was doing he’d flip over in the grave”. Backwoods racism has not left NC. One can only hope that the police in the area catch these people (who supposedly may not even live in Lowell) and prosecute them as quickly and as harshly as possible — behavior like this doesn’t help NC look good on the national stage.
