Racist Graffiti Painted On Burned House

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- Arson investigators are looking for clues at a home on Miriam Lane that may have been set on fire intentionally.

But that's not all they found. Investigators also found graffiti painted on the back of the home that said, 'Bu White B___.' Painted next to the slur was a Star of David.

Neighbors were shocked to see what had been painted.

"It's a sick person that would do something like that, there's no room for that in this community," said Eugene Davis.

Other neighbors mirrored the feeling of disbelief.

"I don't understand, but I can tell you we'll be taking more of a vigilant outlook for things like that around here," said Dexter Cameron.

Investigators were looking for clues late Friday night.
