More Racist Graffiti Found on Democratic Office in Oklahoma

by Associated Press

   NORMAN, OKLAHOMA --

   Police in Oklahoma are investigating after racist, anti-gay and
   anti-Semitic remarks were found spray-painted on a second Democratic
   Party office as well as a nearby school and arts center.
   Norman police spokeswoman Sarah Jensen says the vandalism was
   discovered early Wednesday on the windows and sidewalk outside the
   Cleveland County Democratic Party headquarters, the Firehouse Art
   Center and McKinley Elementary School.
   Similar epithets were spray-painted last week on the front door,
   walkway and other areas outside the state Democratic Party headquarters
   in Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma City office of the Chickasaw Nation.
   Jensen says Norman and Oklahoma City police are working together.
   Cleveland County Democratic chair Krystal Golding-Ross says the
   black-and-red graffiti found Wednesday in Norman is "atrocious" and
   "not in alignment with our values."
