Racist letter warns Idaho youth soccer coach to 'be careful.' Instead, he's fighting back.

EAGLE -- Jeromy Tarkon walked out to his driveway Sunday morning and discovered a letter on the windshield of his Jeep.

The youth soccer coach thought he’d find a donation inside for his budding club soccer team, the Idaho Juniors Futbol Club. Instead, he found an anonymous letter spewing racial slurs and instructing him to quit or “be careful.”

-snip-

“It’s because of liberals like you that our state is full of [n-word] and wet-----,” the anonymous letter reads. “Your [n-word] boy made the soccer field unclean by stepping on it. You are no better than the trash families you have. You are trash.

“Be careful how you coach. One day you might piss off the wrong parent or families. The Juniors are a joke. Quit now before the whole state hates you.

to keep broadcasting sports on them.

IDAHO 7 Boise St. 4, Idaho 3

those are all stations attacking black athletes who kneel.... and they all use the uni brand and logos for community cred and advertising

i doubt they would weigh in specifically on this but they all do the anti immigrant racism - probably 15 hrs a day or so - and if they find the writer i'll be the car radio is tuned to one of them

P.S., "Welcome to Trump's America".
What has happened to our country when in your face racism is happening all to often? I think the answer lies at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

They are all about control and hating others.

There are many, many white people the Nazis and KKK have targeted and continue to harass. Just say or do one thing that may help someone not of their specified religion or color, and no matter your skin color, you become the target of their next hate crime.

So those fools who think they are safe because their skin is white, think again. You may just step out of that box they want you in and become their next target no matter your skin color.

The letter writer was surely emboldened by our racist president. I hope that the ramifications that will surround this despicable act will be seen as another example of Trumpism.
