Racist hate letters mailed in Eastpointe

Twenty African-American families in Eastpointe have received letters filled with racist language and death threats.

Mlive.com reports the hand written letters were sent via U.S. mail, and read in part:

“We tired of u n—— keep movin in are neighborhood!!” read the letter. “you need to move across 8 mile. we just need to start killing you n—— one by one!”

Attached at the end of the poorly written letter was a list of 20 African-Americans who live in the neighborhood “on Sprenger Street, just four blocks north of 8 Mile.”

Officials from Eastpoint Police and the U.S. Postal Inspector’s Office are investigating, reports WXYZ television.

This is the latest of several such incidents in the state this year. In March, Auburn Hills residents awoke to find Easter eggs filled with literature from the white nationalist and supremacist group Aryan Nations. In April, David Smith of Leoni Township, near Jackson, reported finding racist words scrawled on his newly purchased home. Also in March, a new white nationalist group, identified as Battalion 14, attempted to stage a white pride march in downtown Jackson.
