FREEPORT, NY — Multiple racist and vulgar notes were found tucked into fences and lamp poles in and around Milburn Park in Freeport.
Freeport resident Tessa Stefanello said she found five of the notes while walking in the park. Most of the notes espoused white supremacy, and one vulgarly disparaged former president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
"That's not something that I take lightly," Stefanello said of the cards. "Clearly there was an intention behind those cards. Whether it be somebody wanted to piss someone off, or someone wants their message to be heard. It definitely had bad intent behind it."
Stefanello said she spoke to other residents about what she found, and learned it was not the first time they had been spotted. They started to be posted in Milburn Park when Black Lives Matter protests were gaining traction in the area, Stefanello said.
Freeport is one of the most diverse communities on Long Island. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, out of the nearly 43,000 who lie in the village, 43 percent are white and 31 percent are black.
