‘Get the blacks out': Detroit political flier shows Klansman cop aiming gun at black child

Residents in the Detroit suburb of Southfield say they were outraged after finding racist fliers that call voters to “get the blacks out” by supporting white politicians in November.

Tamiko Denson told WJBK that members of her community began finding the fliers on Friday but it wasn’t clear who had distributed them.

In one flier, a police officer is wearing a KKK-style hood and is pointing a gun at the head of a black child, who is wearing a hoodie and holding a bag of candy that is suggestive of slain black teen Trayvon Martin.

“This to me says he needed to be killed and that’s someone’s child and it’s being used in this message,” Denson observed.

It almost makes you wonder if it was actually designed to increase black election turnout.
