Tombstone of Roots author Alex Haley's grandmother sprayed with racial graffiti

Associated Press in Jackson, Tennessee
Tuesday 4 August 2015 22.03 BST

Police say the tombstone of a relative of Roots author Alex Haley has been vandalized with the words “White Lives Matter”.

The Jackson Sun reports that the Savannah police chief, Gary Will, says the tombstone of Queen Haley was spray-painted earlier this week. Queen Haley was Alex Haley’s grandmother.

Alex Haley was the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Roots: The Saga of an American Family, which is the story of an enslaved African American family. The book was later made into a TV miniseries. Alex Haley died in 1992.

The police chief says a professional cleaning company has been hired by the cemetery to remove the paint. Will says a protective coating will be added to the stone so that if it is painted again it will come right off.

I'm surprised that there aren't more replies.

None of them mention the vandalism that occurred to monuments to white people following the confederate flag bullshit.  However, as obscure as this tombstone was, I can't help but wonder...

I don't "live there", but I cannot imagine any Stormfronter-type moron giving a @#$% about where Alex Haley is buried, let alone his Grandmother. The exotic obscurity of this supposedly portentous symbol practically screams FAKE Hate Crime!

Everytime I hear about this, it turns out to be a hoax.

So do black people that pass off mostly fiction as non-fiction.

Exactly.  My guess is that it will turn out to be someone black who did it trying to stir up racial tensions.

A Duck Duck Go search on the phrase "race hate crime hoaxes" was very ... ummmmm ... productive. This website looks particularly interesting.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
