Racist graffiti found on small Texas church before it burned to the ground; Police spark outrage after revealing the incident was merely a fire investigation

Authorities in Paris, Texas, are investigating a suspicious fire last week that destroyed a black church that was reportedly spray-painted with racial slurs before it went up in flames.
Authorities remained silent following the Sept. 29 fire, leading some community members to doubt their commitment to a thorough investigation. At least one activist has raised concerns that city officials could also be prioritizing maintaining the city’s reticent repute over addressing real issues, including ongoing racial discord.
The Love Tabernacle Church, a single-story wood-frame structure, was completely engulfed when the Paris fire brigade arrived at the scene at 11:15 p.m. and set fire to hoses.

But by then it was too late. The constructing, which stood for 3 years on the corner of Center Street and thirteenth NE, finally reduced to ashes.
Photos of the graffiti were reportedly sent to the Paris fire marshal, who arrived a short time later to inspect the scene. The Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office was also called in to assist.
Meanwhile, Paris police Capt. Terry Bull identified that the fire department was investigating potential criminal charges without detectives.
Elsewhere, Pastor Tristan Love said his ministry has been in its current location since 2021 and that services will temporarily proceed in Cooper, Texas, until further notice.
There was nobody in the constructing when the fire broke out and no casualties were reported.
State and native authorities proceed to investigate, but no further details have been released. Marshals didn’t say whether or not they suspected arson.
Local activists have called on investigators to file hate crime charges, but police have yet to discover any suspects, drawing immediate criticism from the black community.
“I have been doing this for over 20 years and things are not getting better because they are not being paid attention to. They are blurred or hidden,” said Brenda Cherry, a rights activist in Paris. According to KXII News 12. “I haven’t heard of a black church burning down before. Not in this area, but racist graffiti – it’s common.”
Cherry added that she didn’t know why anyone would goal a spiritual sanctuary.
“It’s a place where people go to worship,” Cherry said. “Nobody comes here to do anything bad. So why would someone burn down a church? And why would someone write racist graffiti on a church? Don’t do that.
Cherry expressed doubts about local authorities’ ability to determine whether the fire was racially motivated, suggesting city officials had previously downplayed similar controversies.
“City officials need to address issues like this and not be afraid that it will lead to racial or racial tensions because we already have that,” she said. “They need to do better.”
Racist attacks on black churches have a long history, dating back to the early nineteenth century a whole bunch of cases related to arsonbombings, murders and hate crimes, often committed by white supremacists and domestic extremists.
The first recorded church fire in the United States occurred when the Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston, South Carolina, burned down in 1822. The church was rebuilt on the same site, and 193 years later it became a place of yet one more hatred: the tragedy was motivated by the shooting of nine black parishioners during Bible study by an avowed white supremacist in 2015.
In 1921, during the Tulsa Massacre in Oklahoma, white mobs bombed and destroyed churches.
Decades later, during the civil rights movement, there was an increasing wave of violent church fires and bombings, most notably the September 1963 bombing of the sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. The attack, which took place during a Sunday service, injured 22 people and claimed the lives of 4 young black girls.
Violence against black churches dropped to single digit levels between 1970 and 1980 and was almost non-existent until attacks escalated again in the early Nineteen Nineties.
Over an 18-month period between 1995 and 1996, greater than 30 black churches were set on fire, prompting Congress to pass the Church Arson Prevention Act to stop attacks nationwide.
Arsons against black churches remain a significant issue, and there have been greater than a dozen incidents of violence against these places of worship since 2006.
In one recent incident, two black churches in Jackson, Mississippi – Greater Bethlehem Temple Church and Epiphany Church – were set on fire on the night of November 8, 2022. These fires and five others that occurred the same night were determined to be the work of an arsonist.

Black Democrats who attended Harvard and Candace Owens agree to one thing: the repression of the Trump campus goes too far

This is a rare moment in American policy, when the ultra-conservative personality of Candace Owens Democrats are on the opposite side of Donald Trump. The political brand of the bonfire publicly condemned the president’s crusade against Harvard University and other university campus; Trump threatened to annul the billions of federal subsidies if the institution disagrees with the list of demands that Harvard described as “going beyond the power of the federal government.”
As Owens put it, Trump’s fight with Harvard – which increased to the federal lawsuit filed by the very wealthy Ivy league – is a struggle for freedom of speech.
“We cannot allow us to violate our rights. And if you think it will stop at university campus, you have no head,” said Owens, who previously supported President Trump. “So it’s better in this fight Harvard University. You should hope that they will overcome the Trump administration and this absurd definition.”
In his lawsuit, Harvard claims that their rights to the first amendment as a non-public institution are violated by the administration of Trump, who tried to force the university to meet their requirements regarding policies related to the solution to anti -Semitism in campus, in addition to other policies and reforms, corresponding to eliminating diversity, own capital and inclusion in principles, scholarship and honesty.
Apart from the violations of the first amendment, Edwards, a democrat applying for Congress in the 18th Congress District in Texas, said that her attempt to dismantle the Harvard of federal financing, which is used for research to increase innovation in medicine and technology, is especially disturbed.
A former member of the Houston City Council said that aiming administration on Harvard and other university campuses is “effective” and “irresponsible”.
Everton Blair, a graduate of Harvard University and Harvard Graduate School of Education, who also candidates for Congress in the thirteenth Congress District in Georgia, said that he “enjoys” that the institution “will be in a state of himself”.
However, Blair said that he was and remains to be critical of his home parent, because the problem with how they handled campus tensions during the war in gas and other matters – even when he was a student.
“It is a bit interesting that only because it violates their ability to be independently conducted institution, that it recalled this resistance,” said Blair, former chairman of the board of Gwinnett County Board of Education. “They showed me once and again that they have very peculiar cash interests.”
Blair noticed that Harvard, who has over $ 50 billion equipment, has a “privileged position” to find a way to “work fully, even if he loses billions of dollars”, unlike other campuses. He said that he shows that “not all we are simply forced and forced to do things that are bad for people, bad for students (and) for the community.”

Edwards said that the attacks of the first correction of Trump’s administration on Harvard “cannot be normalized”.
“These are dangerous practices that do not intend to develop us. It must be more than revenge and political punishment. What is happening in our academic institutions affects how tomorrow may be clear tomorrow,” said the candidate for Congress in Texas.
In the future, attacking American universities and universities will affect the “position in the world”, said Edwards, including “what we produce, available talent and information to which we have access”.
She added: “The precedent, which is established along with the Trump administration attack on a higher ED and other institutions that were very significant and valuable in our society … This is something that we have to repel with, because our future depends on this.”

In his ruling, the judge criticized the request for dismissal of the case without prejudices, which might allow for future prosecution, CNBC reports.

He argued that continuing the case could make Adams’ ability to manipulate and cooperate with the immigration policy of President Donald Trump. This attitude led to internal fights inside the TO, which resigned from several prosecutors, including the function of prosecutor Manhattan Danielle Sassoon.
Judge Ho emphasized the unprecedented nature of the reasoning of the state, noting: “The state does not cite any examples, and the court is not able to find any government rejecting the allegations against the selected official, because it would allow an official to facilitate the goals of federal policy.”
Adams, who didn’t plead guilty for the allegations, including bribery and fraud, maintained his innocence in all proceedings. After the release, he said: “This matter should never be brought and I did not do anything bad.”
The release allows Adams to concentrate on his re -election campaign. He faces pretenders, including the former governor Andrew Cuomo, in its offer for the second term. On Thursday The mayor announced that now it’ll be Start for recurring as an independent candidate.
“I strongly believe that this city is better served by truly independent leadership, and not leaders pulled by extremists on the left or extreme right, but instead rooted in a common middle, a place where the vast majority of New Yorkers are very planted,” said Adams.
