NAACP past president livid over billboard messages in Summit Township
Richard Stewart, a 35-year member and past president of the NAACP’s Pittsburgh chapter, does not mince words when it comes to what he calls racist messages on a newly erected billboard in Summit Township.
“This is ridiculous,” Stewart said. “They try to create hate. They try to create a scenario out there to have people running after other folks.”
He said the billboard’s messages, which include “Whites are under attack stop it now!!’ with ”Stop teaching critical racist theory,“ are a throwback to pre-civil rights America.
“People are living in peace, kids are going to school, people are working and because things are not going your way, you put out derogatory statements about white people being under attack and a swastika?” Stewart said. “If you say (whites) are a minority, I’ll be all up in your grill, because that’s a lie.”
