That's what a school student said in Snellville, Georgia!
Crosses burn, schoolchidren chant "assassinate Obama" on their school bus, racial slurs are scrawled across cars and homes, and black people are insulted and assaulted. This is how some white Americans have chose to react to Barack Obama's victory.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a hate crime monitor, says there have been "hundreds" of such incidents since Obama's election.
Grant Griffin, a white Georgian, said, "I believe our nation is ruined and has been for several decades, and the election of Obama is merely the culmination of the change." Mark Potok of the SPLC said some whites feel their country has been stolen.
