Facebook User Posts White Supremacist Threat — Police Say Black Man Is Responsible

Police have revealed that the culprit behind the latest hate crime hoax — which involved a racist and violent threat against Black people attending an Alabama fair — is an 18-year-old Black man.

The suspect is being accused of writing a Facebook post threatening to kill black people, telling fair attendees to “be prepared.”

According to reporting from AL.com, the Facebook user’s post claimed that he and his friends “are coming to [the] Opelika Alabama fair to kill every NEGRO that we lay eye contact on so be prepared. WHITE POWER.”

The outlet also noted that the poster’s profile included the Confederate battle flag. Horrors!
