2015. America.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is our America.
Arriving back home to Ellenwood, Georgia, a suburb about 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta, from a road trip to Florida with her young children, Jennie McNair was shocked, disgusted, and terrified at what she found.
Her entire home was vandalized from the inside out, and racist graffiti, including death threats, were painted all over the walls. Holes were punched in the walls, appliances broken, art, and furniture destroyed.
"It's basically destroyed. Everything," she said.
The big question is "Who could do this?"
McNair says she knows no one in the area.
She says the home owner let her out of her lease, and a renter's insurance policy will help replace some of what she's lost.
But it won't give her another fresh start.
She doesn't feel safe and plans to head back to Florida. Her new beginning in Georgia is over before it even began.
"Me and my kids are basically homeless. We really don't know where to start," she said.
Sometimes called the "city too busy to hate," Atlanta has actually seen its fair share of hate in the past week. In addition to his awful racist attack,
Confederate flags were left all around the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, and one of the largest racist rallies in the nation just took place at Stone Mountain, a town known
once as a gathering place for the KKK, and now a predominantly black town.
