[size=17pt]Ku Klux Klan sets Afro-American woman on fire[/size]

Ku Klux Klan has set an Afro-American woman on fire in yet another act of racism.

The 20-year-old woman has received third degree burns after being set on fire by alleged KKK attackers in a park in the state of Louisiana.

The incident occurred on Sunday night in Civitan Park in the city of Winnsboro as three men attacked Sharmeka Moffitt while she was exercising.

The victim said the men in white hoodies poured flammable liquid on her and set her on fire. She managed, however, to extinguish the fire using water from a tap before police arrived at the scene.

Moffitt was found with third degree burns on her arms and additional burns down her chest and legs to the first degree. She is reportedly in critical condition at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The FBI is investigating the attack as an alleged hate crime.

The hood of her car was spray painted with the letters KKK, the abbreviation for Ku Klux Klan, a far-right extremist organization in the US advocating white supremacy, white nationalism and the end of immigration.

During the US civil rights movements in the 1950s and 1960s, the KKK violently opposed the movement and desegregation by bombing African American schools and churches and killing African-Americans and civil rights activists.

I guess I will never understand some people

ETA: "Police have announced that they believe a Winnsboro woman fabricated a story about being attacked and burned Sunday night at Civitan Park in Winnsboro by three men who wrote 'KKK' on the hood of her car."

"A Louisiana woman who told police she was subjected to a racist attack in which three men set her alight and scrawled KKK on her car [size=14pt]was lying[/size], investigators have said.
"The wounds were self-inflicted," Kyle Hanrahan, a spokesman for the FBI's Louisiana bureau said.
Sharmeka Moffitt, 20, was seriously burned in the incident and remains in critical condition.
She called police from a park in the town of Winnsboro on Sunday night and told them three men in white hoodies doused her with a flammable liquid and ignited it.
The letters KKK, for the white supremacist organisation Ku Klux Klan, and a racial slur were scrawled on her car in what appeared to be toothpaste.
According to local media, investigators decided the burns were self-inflicted after finding Ms Moffitt's fingerprints on a cigarette lighters and lighter fluid.
Louisiana's KATC News reported her family had issued a statement saying: "Our family is devastated to learn the circumstances surrounding our daughter's injuries.
"While this was not the resolution we had expected, it is a resolution, and we appreciate the thorough investigation by the local and state police as well as federal agencies.. .."

Another senseless post..... You can't use a handful of minority(KKK), to judge a whole race.....

Hate is everywhere irrespective of colour... The Allu people that burnt student alive, are they not black people like you? Because Allu people burnt some student alive, is it now right for me to conclude that people from Rivers State are evil?


Just as there are KKKs(senseless thugs), there are other white people that have dedicated their lives towards making humanity better......

So Shymexx, try to think before you jump to conclusion.
