White Supremacists Invade DC Neighborhood

WASHINGTON, DC — White supremacists posted racist flyers around a D.C. neighborhood, outraging the community at a time when locals have been victimized by other displays of racial intimidation.

The flyers were discovered over the weekend at around the same time that white supremacists gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for the "Rally for Free Speech," which included comments from their leader, avowed racist Richard Spencer.

One version of the flyer in Bloomingdale showed a white woman and child with the caption "defending your people is a social duty, not an anti-social crime," along with a link to a racist website.

Showtime, a Bloomingdale bar, posted a picture of the flyer on their Facebook page, adding that a "group of six numbnuts" ripped the gay pride flag off the window of the bar.

D.C. Councilman Kenyan McDuffie issued a statement after the flyers were discovered in his ward, stating that residents would "not be intimidated by cowards."

The discovery comes in the wake of a series of incidents involving nooses hung around the D.C. area as an apparent attempt to intimidate minorities.
