There is a flyer being distributed in Southfield, Michigan that posts a photo of a Klansman in a hood pointing his gun at a head of a black kid who couldn't be more than six. The black child is wearing a white hoodie and is extending a bag of Skittles to the man.
Another flyer shows a photo of Trayvon Martin. The caption reads: "George Zimmerman was right. We will stop thugs like this."
And if the message wasn't clear in the first two flyers, a third shows the photo of five white public officials, three of whom are expected to run for office in Southfield in upcoming elections, with the words: "Let's get the blacks out of Southfield in November."
Angry residents told Fox 2 Detroit that the flyers begin showing up Sunday on the doorsteps of homes in the area.
Kenson Siver, a candidate for mayor in the Michigan suburb whose photo appears on one of the flyers, denounced the racist literature as ? politics and added that the hateful message goes against the diversity of the city that he claims makes Southfield great.
Tamiko Denson told the news station that she was raised in Southfield and that her mother who was on the front lines during civil rights marches still lives there.
"She experienced getting hosed down," Denson told Fox 2 Detroit. "Decades later you would think it would be better, we are going back."
Smh read the comments. White ppl stay in denial about who's actually racist in this country

I just looked up the census reports and this from 2010 but im sure the results are pretty much the same.
Black/ African American population in southfield 70.3%
White population in southfield 24.9 -
I wouldn't be surprised if the people they're running against did this ? . But it could work if they are truly behind it. Could get more votes by like minded white people and ? .

I'm thinking the same thing. Something is definitely fishy about this. -
