White Family Receives Racist Threats After Moving Into New Home: ‘We Are Watching You White Bitch’
By Brian Carey, February 21, 2015.
A young British mother of two moved into her new home to find herself “welcomed” with racist graffiti and a threatening note on the door stating that the area was for “black brothers and sisters.”
Sammie Sunter, 24, was taking her two sons to see their new home in Willenhall in the UK. That’s when she found the front door covered with feces and graffiti. A racist note attached to the letterbox read: “Willenhall is black so fuck off.”
That note was placed in an envelope addressed as follows: “Message inside oyinbo bitch.” The word “oyinbo” is Nigerian slang for a white person.
Another note read: “Don’t stay too long or else…”
There was also a note that read: “We are watching you, white bitch.” That one was followed by a statement that read: “Africa rules.” It was presumably written by someone who does not live in Africa.
“I had to explain racism to my five-year-old. It’s just not acceptable. He didn’t really understand. If we are equal what gives the person responsible the right to do that?” Sunter said.
She said that she has lived in Willenhall for 15 years and has never experienced anything like this before.
The housing association has agreed to relocate her following the incident.
