Threatening KKK SIGNS Found Outside Black Churches. Did A Black Guy Post Them? YES!

Font Size:

Police in Colorado Springs, Colo. arrested a man on Tuesday for leaving racist messages outside predominately black churches in town.

The man, Vincent Broughton, then admitted that he is responsible for the posters in an interview with local ABC affiliate KRDO-TV.

Broughton, 44, is black.

The signs were first spotted near the New Covenant Church of God in Christ at the corner of E. Platte Ave. and N. Weber Street in downtown Colorado Springs.

Three more signs were seen near the front doors of Relevant World Christian Cultural Center, about two miles away.

Many of the signs mentioned the Ku Klux Klan.

“BLACK MEN BEWARE YOU ARE THE TARGET,” read one.

The signs in Colorado Springs appeared less than two weeks after Dylann Roof, a professed white racist, confessed to murdering nine people at an historic black church in Charleston, S.C.

Crack police investigators were able to track the signs to Broughton because one of them contained his phone number.

“I did it. Probably about 100 or so,” Broughton told a KRDO reporter. “I’d come downtown every day and put up the posters.”

He said he created and posted the signs in a bid to fight local corruption.

“I want people to know how corrupt these people that run the town are, the police department, city council and people in the community,” Broughton added.

Broughton was unable to provide a reason for choosing to target predominantly black churches with his signage.

Relevant Word Christian Cultural Center pastor Promise Lee said Broughton has a history of stirring up trouble.

“I wasn’t surprised and I certainly didn’t become fearful because the community pretty much knows who this gentlemen is putting these posters around the town,” Lee told the ABC affiliate.

“I think the individual utilized the South Carolina shooting as an opportunity to try and instill some fear. And at the end of the day he’s seeking attention.”

One of the signs bizarrely suggested that his church “works for the KKK,” Lee noted.

“It doesn’t really make sense for a person in their right mind to be writing this kind of stuff,” the pastor observed.

The pastor at the New Covenant Church of God in Christ, the other place of worship Broughton targeted, said he felt differently.

“We locked our doors this morning, so we were inside, but it shouldn’t be that way,” the pastor, Roland Joyner, told CBS Denver. “You shouldn’t have to lock your doors in the church.”

Broughton now faces charges of disorderly conduct and committing a bias-motivated crime.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
