I’m more than a bit upset by these signs that were posted in my very diverse, inter-racial neighborhood (Lincoln Terrace).
These signs were posted on both sides of Lincoln Blvd every few block or two (normally at the bus stops), presumably as a racist scare tactic to let hispanics know that they are not welcome.
I’ve called the racist Oklahoma Minuteman Organization two times (their phone # is (405) 308-4085) and have asked them to respond to why they posted these signs (or if they claim to have not posted them) but have not heard back from them yet.
I’m encouraging local residents to tear down these signs (which are illegally posted on sign posts) and also to let your state legislators know that legislation like HB 1804 is unfortunately giving the paranoid anti-immigrant group a practical endorsement to pursue their hate agenda.
Man, those are some awesome posters — for a fascist state!
Here’s what I emailed the Minuteman group…
Hello,
I wanted you to know that I have written about the racist “Minuteman
Watch” signs that were posted in my neighborhood (Lincoln Terrace) on
my blog at:

In the interests of fairness, I want to give your group a chance to
what I have said. Please feel free to email me back and I’ll be glad
to reprint what you say verbatim.
