A Week Of Racist Crimes Forces A Mother And Baby Girl To Leave Their Home!

by | Aug 8, 2016 | News | 0 comments

This is a horrific story and it needs to be highlighted! Where is the law to stop this? Why did the community not raise up and protect them? So many questions to ask.

A mother and her 4-year-old daughter have been forced to leave their home in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania (just 15miles from Pittsburgh, so hardly the boonies!) after they were the victim of several anti-black hate crimes over the course of a week.

The word “n****r” was sprayed on the vehicle of Courtney Mike-Wilson this past Wednesday and then her daughters dodge-balls were slashed with an attached note, her kids outdoor toys were also doused in gasoline. THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR A MOTHER TO TAKE!

Pitcairn Police Chief Scott Farally says that his department is pushing for an FBI investigation and a hate crime investigation is underway but in the meantime her young daughter has been sent away and Mike-Wilson is in the process of finding a new home.

Mike-Wilson spoke to WTAE and said

“She can’t walk to the park anymore,”, “She can’t go to the day care. I don’t tell her what’s going on. I’d rather she not be scared, but it’s hard to come up with first and last month rent so quickly, especially when you think you’re going to be somewhere for a while.”

This community is predominately white but whee are they? Why are they not holding this young lady up in their arms and showing that this cannot and will not be tolerated? Where are the stationed police, where are the voices telling these racists they can’t do this?

It’s an outrage! We need to set something up to help this mother with her rent and to get a new place in a stable black community. What do you think?
