Medford man admits he threatened to burn down black churches, NAACP offices
By adamg on Fri, 04/08/2011 - 8:36pm
Jeffrey Smith, 46, of Medford, pleaded guilty today to charges he sent threatening letters to 7 churches and 4 NAACP offices under the name of a work supervisor he didn't like, the US Attorney's office in Boston reports.
Smith faces up to ten years in federal prison on each of the 11 counts when sentenced in July for his written hate campaign, which started with letters to the St. Paul American Methodist Episcopal Church in Cambridge and the NAACP chapter in Roxbury, threatening to burn them down as revenge for Barack Obama's election.
The former security guard was arrested last April.

The racists won't give up

North East White Pride (NEWP) is attempting to be a part of the fundraising efforts of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and the organization isn't sure if they want that kind of support.
In February, North East White Pride was in the news when it was learned that they were going to hold a meeting at the main library in Worcester, MA at the same time, and across the hall from a Black History movie event. They were asked to postpone, and the meeting will be held sometime in April. On March 26, a handful of NEWP associates participated in a flash mob-styled rally in Boston, MA. Along with the white nationalist group Youth for Western Civilization's activities in Providence, RI, such as bringing conservative propagandist James O'Keefe to Providence College, it has been part of a series of activity by racist groups in the New England area over the past two months.
Reading comprehension
You already pasted that on a different topic, and I think it's off-the-mark here, too.
