We's ain't fooleyed no more, 'kay? One must also asks why the elite, big-city paper (which already short-changes and insults us on a regular basis) would lead with this story if not to imply that we are all a bunch of racists out here. That's the implication from a s***-rag of Jewish supremacism.
Now your Zionist agenda push (and the recognition for what it is):

"Church arson tied to racism; Black congregation targeted, police say Three charged with conspiracy" by Jonathan Saltzman and Brian Ballou, Globe Staff | January 17, 2009
For the record, I even deplore destruction of property by violence. Wehave finite goods in this world; we don't need to be destroying property as well as people.
SPRINGFIELD - Three Springfield men, bitter about the election of the nation's first black president and furious in their belief that minorities would gain more rights, torched the partially built church of a black congregation just hours after Barack Obama's landmark victory, authorities said yesterday.
They are saying three but it's really four. WTF?
The men - Benjamin Haskell, Michael F. Jacques Jr., and Thomas Gleason Jr., all of whom are white - poured gasoline inside and outside the mostly completed Macedonia Church of God in Christ in the early morning of Nov. 5., set it afire, and later boasted about destroying it, said authorities.
Four days after the fire, which sent a shudder of fear and anger through Springfield's black community, Haskell and Jacques drove to the burnt rubble with an unidentified associate and laughed, according to the affidavit of an FBI agent.
"We did it," Haskell allegedly told the associate, who later cooperated with investigators. When the associate asked why they set the fire, the affidavit said Haskell replied, "Because it was a black church."
Jacques asked the associate whom he had voted for, the affidavit said. When he replied that he had voted for Obama, Jacques uttered a profane racial epithet and predicted that Obama would be assassinated.
I'm sorry, but this already stinks. The guy he bragged to, his "associate" voted for Obama?
Haskell, 22; Jacques, 24; and Gleason, 21, were arrested this week after an investigation by federal, state, and local authorities and charged with conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the parishioners, a federal crime. Each faces up to 10 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. A spokeswoman for US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan declined to say why prosecutors did not charge the men with arson....
Yeah, WTF? They ADMITTED TO IT!!
Something does stink, and it's not just a burnt church!
************
Springfield police got a break in the case Nov. 9, five days after the election, when an informant who knew Haskell and Jacques told police that the men had bragged about setting the fire. This week a State Police undercover officer approached Haskell and proposed hiring him to set fire to a house for insurance money....
Uh-oh!! Sniff, sniff, STINK!!!
The AUTHORITIES and their INFORMANTS again!!!
Haskell was arrested Wednesday night by State Police on an outstanding warrant, the affidavit said. While in custody, he admitted setting fire to the church and, at another time, a house. He said Jacques was angry that the country was going to have a black president and that blacks and Puerto Ricans would have more rights than whites.
He told investigators that hours after Obama's election, he, Jacques, Gleason and a fourth man identified only as Scott took two 5-gallon gasoline cans from Gleason's garage and walked through a wooded area to the back of the unfinished church....
