Defaced anti-racism billboard quickly replaced

Our intrepid NewsCut reader/correspondent Ben Chorn tried to get down to East Fourth Street in Duluth quickly enough to get a picture of the defaced Un-Fair anti-racism campaign billboard. Someone had spraypainted ” No Naggers” over the billboard, and painted a confederate flag.

But by the time Ben got there, the billboard company was leaving and had already replaced the intended message.

The original message of the anti-racism billboard was, “Ignore it and it won’t go away.”

There’s irony here… somewhere.

The Duluth News Tribune has a picture of the defaced billboard.

On its Facebook page, a group opposed to the Un-Fair campaign condemned the vandalism, while saying it thinks it’s part of the Un-Fair campaign.
