Courtney Mike-Wilson has moved from her home in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania after three incidents of racial harassment. The FBI is now investigating.

In the most recent incident, Mike-Wilson came home to find her front porch and her 5-year-old daughter's toys covered in gasoline. The culprits left a note that read "Now we're done."

This came days after she found the word "nigger" spray painted on the side of her car and her daughter's balls slashed open.

Pitcairn Police are investigating the matter and have asked the FBI for assistance.

Mike-Wilson is a foster parent. She says she couldn't imagine why someone would do this.
“I stay to myself, I go to work, and I come home. I’m a foster parent, so I really don t have time for anything," she said to WTAE.

She's taking precautions to care for her daughter.

“She can’t walk to the park anymore. She can’t go to the day care. I don’t tell her what’s going on. I’d rather she not be scared, but it’s hard to come up with first and last month rent so quickly, especially when you think you’re going to be somewhere for a while,” Mike-Wilson said.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help the single mother with her unexpected expenses

When a white couple in Texas began spewing racial slurs at a Chester's Hamburgers restaurant in San Antonio, Texas, their teenage target began broadcasting the incident on Facebook Live.

Emarald Robinson, 19, says while she and her family were eating at the local chain after church, a woman became upset with her 15-year-old sister and told her, "Excuse the fuck outta me you nigger monkey."

Robinson then pulled out her smartphone to confront the couple and began with, "So, Facebook, this is what racist people look like."

Immediately the incident escalates as the Robinson's mother defends her daughters. "Don't be disrespectful," she yells.

A white man stands up from the table and quickly shows his colors. "Fuck you, goddamn niggers." His girlfriend chimes in, "You're a nigger."

The woman goes on, "Take your nigger ass back to Africa, hoe." She's feeling particularly bold and yells, "My ancestors owned your ass, bitch."
After about three minutes of confrontation, Robinson deescalates the situation with "Mom, that's enough."

As the situation appears to be cooling down, the white woman charges toward the camera and says "I'm going to get you monkeys in line bitch."

Her mother responds, "Come over here, you're gonna get the ass whoopin of a lifetime."

Two days after the incident, offered more detail about the incident. She said that the couple had racist tattoos, though she does not describe them.

The police were called, and the couple was allowed to stay and finish their meal. Robinson says the restaurant's management did not intervene and they have offered no apology.

When asked about her motivations for recording the incident, she said she simply wanted to raise awareness. "We were really looking to spread the word that this was happening in San Antonio."

Emarald took to Facebook live to explain her side of the incident.

Surya Bonaly was an anomaly when she entered the world of professional figure skating in the early 1990s. She was Black and French, and she skated with a fire and athleticism that drew criticism.

Bonaly was a three-time World silver medalist who suffered a career-ending injury just before the 1998 Olympics at Nagano. But before she left, she became the first and only skater to land a back flip at the games.

Radiolab explored Surya's career and the antagonism she received inside and outside of the sport with incredible reporting from Tracie Hunte and Latif Nasser.

This is an ongoing process Union notes. "The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, the less that crazy lady will have to say."
