A West Mobile man can't believe what someone painted on his car.

Bob Jones says he woke up Saturday morning to find the "N" word in big black letters on the side of his 2004 Mercedes-Benz. Jones couldn't believe his eyes but he's wasn't the only one hit in the parking lot of his apartment complex.

Two buildings down, another tenant had the word "RACIST" painted on his front door.

Jones says this is not the first time he's been a target. In March, someone smashed a brick through the back window of his car. "I've been here 15 years and that's cold blooded. I'm just wondering what the heck is going on. I'm thinking about moving because he attacks my car twice in 30 days. There must be some reason for it."

Jones says he has no known enemies and can't imagine who would do this. Mobile Police are investigating this case and will charge those responsible with criminal mischief.

I use this word only to describe a group people. There are white ones and black ones. It simply means trashy people and people with no morals etc.

And who’s to say it wasn’t a combination of numbers and letters? Interpret the following in a negative way if you choose but the fact is, it’s the tail number of a United Stated Air Craft.
N-1-6-6-E-R
Get over it people and stop acting like you own the copy right of a word that can only be used by the black community.

Bunch of hypocrites!

i always thought the “N” word was a life stlye and not a skin color. it is kind of dumb to say “N” word when it communicates the same word? but what ever they want is fine with me. it about respect i guess. just hard to respect anyone if they don’t respect themselfs. black, white ... American or other wise. you live a life stlye of respecting yourself and others, there is only one word that comes to my mind. American!

How can you be African and American at the same time? You sound like are an American just like me.

That is destruction of property. Regardless of how or who did it. That is how I see it. I am an African American born at Providence hospita, and does not use the “N” word for fear it will corupt my children. This type of behavior is just aweful and it need to stop.

Double Standard? Heck the black call themselfs “N”, yet if a white person refers to them as one its all about HATE ..Makes not a bit of sense to me…last time I checked the N word was referred to as a piece of trash…and boy we have that in all different races! This guy might need to buy himself a Pinto to park there and park his BMW elsewhere…Whats the word coming too
