What to do, slur on car!

Would all the responses here have been the same if someone had "dirty black barstewards get out" written in snow on their car?
Why ignore it?
Why not go to the Police?
If it was the other way around, people would be screaming 'racism' and badgering OP to report it.
This place does make me laugh!
OP, I would report it if I were you.Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -
Report it just so you know its been logged then if anything (hopefully not) should arise further down the line you have proof and i agree keep a detailed diary...as it may not be just bored idiots...some people just get targeted for little reason.
Take care and i hope it fizzle's out asap.0 -

Exactly, when the colour of someones skin comes in to it and telling them to "GET OUT" ie. out of "their" neighborhood, you really think its not a racist attack? I really would be worried about what they'd do next, especially if they are a minority down that street.
As someone prior to me said, if it was the other way round, it would be shouted out, and people would be going mad. Its time we stuck up for ourselves too, and hiding brushing something like racism under the carpet is not something i would advise.
Have I made a new account up? No. Why would I? My post was my opinion on the matter, unless it was because I disagreed with Proc who is by the looks of it a regular and no one does this? I dont know....
What gothgirl has had happened to her is NOT something you would expect to see. Bored Teens being racist? Just ignore them? Lets say she did, and they didnt go away and something happened, what would be your reaction? Its not normal teen behaviour. Not in the real world. besides her post said "men"... if it were men, would this make you change your opinion?0 -
I'm amazed by some of the responses on here! Has the world gone mad? I guarantee that if a Black person had come on here and posted about someone writing "dirty Black........." then there would have been uproar with posters telling them to go to the Police?
Racism exists for white people as well as Black people you know!My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say
Ignore......check!0 -

Chris, it's always the way if any "new" poster disagrees with a long-standing member of the forums they get called a troll or that it's an AE.

***my opinion only:***
if your doing 30mph and he jumps out without warning, you will not be found liable for any wrong doing if you mow the guy down. id bear that in mind. so doing 10mph means you can speed up.
presuming they are black, certain 'ethnicities' are known to stage accidents for compensation so you could twist it to your favour, presuming you dont mind things potentially getting ugly.
they dont like it when tables are turned!Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)
new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,0000 -
The writing on the car thing sounds like bored kids to be tbh and I know what I'm talking about, people regularly have drawn/written in the dirt on my car
the most common being male genitals for some reason
As for the guys on the street, maybe that was just one of those odd things happening because of snow etc, people behaving a bit differently from usual.
I do know both happening on the one night would make you feel a bit vulnerable but it could be just coincidence combined with opportunity.
Have you had any trouble before? Any inkling that you aren't welcome in the area? If not I think I'd let it settle before I did anything else. If yes then I would be considering moving..
Just to add though, I think if you live in a largely white area then them saying 'white' could be a good guess. If you're the only white people on the street then I probably would be a bit more concerned by it though.0 -

OMG not another post that ozzes racism.
Disgusting!I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed. Booker T Washington
