Vandals spray-painted racist rhetoric and swastikas on Sunday at the Morrison Family YMCA of Greater Charlotte in Charlotte, N.C.
The phrase “save the white race” was scrawled outside, and a swastika was graffitied onto a YMCA bus. “Matthew 23:13-36” was written on the sidewalk, also with a swastika.
“We were deeply disheartened to find that our property had been vandalized with hate speech and symbols,” the YMCA said in a statement. “We immediately notified law enforcement, and our team is working diligently to remove the graffiti as quickly as possible.”
The Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte released a statement saying that it “condemns these actions in the strongest of terms” and remains committed to fighting “antisemitism and preventing incidents like these from happening in the future.”
