LIVONIA, Mich. (WJBK) - "I (said), 'Mommy, why did they do that?'" said six-year-old Saniya. "And then mommy said we got to pray for them."Really, bigots? A six-year-old child? Hateful cowards, every single one of them.
Saniya had been having a great day. She just saw "The Smurfs" at the AMC 20 in Livonia at Seven Mile and Haggerty. She was with her parents and walking to their car around 2:15 p.m. Tuesday afternoon when some guys in a faded red pickup truck drove by.
"I was looking at them and then they (threw) it in my face," Saniya said.
"She (yelled), 'Mommy,' and I look at her and her face is like covered with drink or some kind of liquid, soft drink or something like that," said Nesia, Saniya's mother.
Nesia said it must have been pop. It was sticky and stung little Saniya's eyes.
Her parents didn't know what had happened at first and then they spotted the pickup truck and the two or three men inside.
"While they were driving off they yelled out, 'You monkeys, you baboons,'" Nesia told FOX 2's Amy Lange. "Started making like monkey noises and sounds and just kind of drove off."
"I could not believe that something had happened like that," said Larry, Saniya's father.
Larry and Nesia were too shocked to get a license plate or a good description of the guys, but the vehicle was a faded red F-150 pickup truck with a black cover on the bed. These guys need to be caught.
"I've never experienced anything like this before," said Nesia. "She's six. I mean, it's 2011. Why does she even have to know that any of this is still something that goes on."
"People in previous years ... they didn't sit down and let things like this happen, so why should we?" said Larry.
"It's not right, and I don't want it to happen to anybody else again," Nesia said.
They contacted Livonia Police, who are asking anyone who may have seen that truck in the parking lot to contact them. (source: myFoxdetroit.com)

Cowards, indeed.
ReplyDeleteSee...this is precisely why I tell POC not to be scared of white folks. They're too busy being scared of us.
I read shit like this and have to wonder..."Why is Benjamin Hawkins in jail?"
Grown men hurl liquid at a child, call her and her parents names, then start hooting and hollering.
ReplyDeleteRemind me which set is supposed to be the Master Race, again?
Bloody idiots, I am not surprised stupid at anything stupid white racist do whether the year is 1992 or 2011 or 2015.
ReplyDeleteLMAO.
ReplyDeleteWhite people: "I don't care if you're brown, black, blue, green, or purple - people are all the same!"
Black people: "I don't care if it's '62, '98, 2010, or 2025 - white people are still the same!"
Unfortunately I am not surprised. I'm sure these mouth breathers were really proud of themselves. I am sure they high-fived them selves on the way home to watch Fox and Freaks.

ReplyDeleteOne of these days, one of these yahoos are going to mess with the wrong person and get got. It's not 1950 anymore. No more not making eye contact and sitting back and letting them do whatever they want, whenever they want.
I have to agree wholeheartedly with this title. This shouldn't happen to anyone - let alone a six-year old child. People act as if others are going to let this to continue to happen to them and so instead of going after a person that can defend themself (it shouldn't be done in the first place), they go after a child. You would really think and hope that this wouldn't happen in this day and age, but unfortunately life and bigots have a lot of surprises.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason why I saw America is going to end like the Third World. One of these days they are going to do it with the wrong person. Like how police are getting away with murder. Some group is going to retaliate.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous and sadly I'm sure there is more of this to come with the Tea Party and Fox News getting these cowards all riled up and ready to take their anger out on innocent people.
