Happens quite frequently here in Alabama.

Why do people do these things?

Are you certain that it was done by racists and not... say... an electrical fire?

Can you provide a link please, my google search didn't give anything

That's what I am getting at... I think that this is just an attempt at race-baiting.

Hmmm...

No it's not racism "pure and simple" if someone thinks that I'm inferior and don't want to talk to me I'll tell him to fuck off, It has nothing to do with "ordinary racism/stupidity" it's evil
Pop's shoulda been firing UP..." yeah and a marines training of course he would have killed all the bastards that's the answer, going back to the prehistoric ages
"u cannot rebuild a family..." but you can build a better society with teaching, laws and justice
"welcome to liberalism!! " why not blaming all the whites , the republicans or bush

Story found:

They said that the fire has not been ruled arson, but they haven't determined the cause of the fire yet. The family claims racism as the motivation, but there has been no proof or evidence of racist motivation at this time.

To see the picture of this destroyed family , I'm going back to sleep

Excerpts from the article:

"We're not even calling this a crime. We're assisting the fire marshal's office in investigating a unknown caused fire," McMahon said. "There is no determined cause. There's no reason to believe it's arson, and there's no reason to believe it isn't. We're far into the unknown."

"Sheriff's officials likely will examine whether there were any heaters or other electrical devices that could overheated and caused the fire. There is evidence that someone who lived in the house smoked, and investigators found cigarette butts in the garage."

The family claims "Someone drew swastikas and wrote 'white power' on one of Peters' children's school books."
