Black Woman Set On Fire In Louisiana By 3 Neo-Nazis For Wearing Obama Shirt
 KNOE 8 News has received confirmation from the Winnsboro Police that they are working with the Franklin Parish Sheriff’s Office investigating a woman allegedly attacked and burned on Sunday night.
According to the Franklin Parish Sheriff’s Office, Sharmeka Moffitt was on a walking trail in a city park when she was attacked. It happened about 8 p.m. Sunday evening.
She was taken to a hospital in Winnsboro and then transported to LSU Hospital in Shreveport.
A friend of the Moffitt family confirmed to us that she is in stable condition but 90% of her body has been burned.
Friends of the family also tell us the KKK was allegedly involved in the attack.
Whoever said we were living in post-racial America lied. We’ll keep you updated more on the victim and this disgusting hate crime.

“Sharmeka Moffitt called 911 about 8 p.m. and told police she was attacked and burned by three men wearing hoodies, authorities said during a news conference today. Police say the Moffitt, 20, could not confirm the identity of the suspects.
“KKK” was written on the hood of her vehicle, authorities said.”

I am so disturbed.
Just the sight of those white hoods give me goosebumps.

I hate living here. 
Hate it.
Thanks Louisiana for putting America back another 200 years.

Uuuuugh. Franklin’s where my sister used to live, too.

i can’t.
i just cannot.

Just when I got comfortable in the country shit like this happens. This makes me sick.

This is why I don’t like the South. Like at all. People are like “Oh those are days past.”
No. Because Black people are still getting killed by racist bigots and the KKK and no one wants to report it because they don’t want white people to look bad. Ever.
But every time I feel just slightly safer, shit like this happens and I remember why I stay inside or only go to familiar places not very far from my home.

This happens way more frequently in the South but I feel Black folks ain’t safe nowhere in the country. Attempted lynchings, burnings, decapitating babies and covering it up, cop killings all over and more and more hate crimes as white fear heightens. Whites have never stopped killing us and frankly won’t because they don’t believe their is anything wrong with them or Black death.
