The North Carolina NAACP is calling for a state and federal investigation into hate speech spray painted onto a building used primarily by African-Americans in a Jacksonville neighborhood.

The graffiti defaced the Mount Horeb Lodge on Kerr Street. Included on the building was "KKK", "Hail Satan", "666" and the Nazi symbol. The NAACP is calling for a "full and comprehensive investigation" by the State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Jacksonville police say the vandalism was spotted around 8:30 p.m. Friday.

Police say the vandalism remains under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact Jacksonville Police at 910-455-5000 or Crime Stoppers at 910-938-3273.

Most likely the blacks did this themselves possibly in cahoots with the NAACP. A pathetic publicity stunt - nothing more.

These "programs" are set asside for minorities yet so many don't know how to use them and don't become educated to know how to use them, so they don't. The government shows special priviledges to Black women, yet, the cannot find enough to meet their minority women award for contracts. The purpose, do the job, get paid for it, get off welfare and live normal life. So, the program doesn't really work. Another example, if you are a soldier, injured in battle, minority, woman, small business, name your price sister, U Sam needs you...yet no takers....contracts set asside, get awarded to other companies since they cannot find bidders.....

Just paint over it and shut up "all you pig headed" White folks crying over a bit of paint on the wall. Oh my bad were not supose to be upset when someone paints a "blood" symbol its ok, or when we find MS-13 symbols from all the hispanic gangs in North Carolina, but thats right blacks cant be racist they are black. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone get me a glass of Water I coughing from all the laughing im doing over the stupidity of the NAACP, were really suppose to waste SBI and FBI resources on this when we got real crimes like Gang killings in Kinston. Lol Im just waiting on the honarable Al Sharpton to show up when he does ill be the first to shake his hand!
