Tin Nguyen and his partner, Cat Bao Le, say they will continue to confront white supremacists and hatred after an unknown white man banged on their door, yelled racial slurs, threatened to call police, and argued with them about a sign in their yard that says “F--- Donald Trump.”

The man told Nguyen and Le, “I’m gonna get you, n-----.”

Nguyen is a 38-year-old lawyer in Charlotte who defends people in immigration cases and whose mother and father were refugees from Vietnam in the late 1970s. Le, 37, is also Vietnamese-American and is executive director of the Southeast Asian Coalition, a youth and advocacy organization in Charlotte.

What happened to them is the latest in a string of high-profile cases where a white person is captured on cellphone video demeaning a person of color or threatening to call police.

“They want to police everything that we do,” Nguyen said Tuesday, speaking to reporters in front of his home.

There, the sign still stands.

“The president deserves this sign. He deserves this big middle finger,” Nguyen said.

He and Le also have a yard sign welcoming refugees, a “Black Lives Matter” sign, and a sign opposing the arrest and deportation of immigrants.

“We want Charlotte to continue to resist white supremacy at all levels,” Le said.

1. says he is worried about the kids but that he wouldn't care if the sign was anti Hillary

[Cha]

4. Is that what he said? I heard Hillary's

name but couldn't make out the rest. Just as long as it wasn't trump

So he's one Brainwashed MF..

Bro didn't think TN could own anything.. what kind of shite is that?

[Maggiemayhem]

74. He said the sign offends children

and then proceeded to scream the f word several times. So R.s get to wear mustache ride ball caps and dangle bull testicles from their truck bumpers and he said it was okay to put Fuck Hillary on a sign but not Trump. There is a lot more that offends me than a four letter word, like a six year old getting sexually assaulted in a detention camp. He ran away to his truck like a big chicken. I am fighting back. Screw going high, there is too much at stake.

[WePurrsevere]

2. Hopefully this Cult45 buttwipe goes viral...

and he loses 'bigly' for this racist bullying behaviour.

We unfortunately can't change everyone into a decent intelligent human being but people like this can and should be ostracized by society IMO.

[peekaloo]

13. Cult45

Nice!

[Soxfan58]

27. Cult45

May I use that sometime?

[WePurrsevere]

32. Go ahead. I've used it and seen it used for so long that...

I can't remember if it popped into my head on its own one day or if I picked it up somewhere. LoL

[ADX]

56. "Cult 45", LMMFAO! I hope you don't mind but I'm stealing that one...

...I'll credit you the first five times I use it though...

[WePurrsevere]

57. Glad you like it. No credit is needed but thank you. nt

[Cha]

3. Wow.. I hope they're aren't any

reprisals.

Bro didn't think TN owned anything.. what kind of shit is that?

[lamsmy]

5. Does resistance really need to use foul language?

I hate Trump as much as everybody else here, but should all Americans be stooping to the level and language of the deplorables?

If you lived in that neighbourhood, would you want your kids walking past that sign? Would you want your children thinking this is an acceptable form of political discourse?

I know I wouldn't.

[LittleGirl]

6. Listen

Liberals have been nice Long Enough. They have turned the word liberal into an epithet and we’re sick of it. The final straw was separating families and we are not going to be nice anymore. If you want polite, maybe reconsider that profanity use has been tolerated by IQ45 followers for 3 years.

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

63. BINGO!

Thanks for writing what I have been thinking for too many years!

[Harker]

7. I respect your point of view

but for me, though a strategically placed asterisk might have helped carry the same message in a gentler way, the real obscenity is that thing in the WH and what he does every day.

[onetexan]

89. exactly on point

thank you for putting it in perspective

[JI7]

8. These are not Normal times and things like taking kids from parents and putting them in detention

camps and other fucked up shit is a lot worse for them to witness.

it's cases like this where a FUCK YOU is acceptable.

[phlaz]

9. I agree with you

We need to show we are better than the tRump morans...we're supposed "go high". This isn't the way to do that.

[Harker]

10. I'm not so sure a yard sign

or a bumper sticker speaks for anyone other than person who displays it.

[MineralMan]

21. No doubt you do agree, since you have said so.

Welcome to DU...

[Dr Hobbitstein]

44. Or, we could tell those fuckers to fuck right off. nt

[GoneOffShore]

76. Thank you for your tone policing and concern trolling.

Now just stop.

[MFM008]

11. If we don't fight back

Hard. They will always win and run/ruin our lives.
Yes I'll sacrifice civility.
My kid is 35, he can swear if he wants.

[malaise]

12. I am always amused by folks who worry more about 'foul' language

than racist policies, kleptocracy and violations of constitutional norms.
Fuck Don the Con and all his enablers.

[ret5hd]

16. No shit.

[dalton99a]

25. +1. Fuck civility

[octoberlib]

35. Bingo.

[scarytomcat]

37. me too .... words are just letters strung together

it is the thought in your head that says it is bad
I say to people with word problems clean up your mind and get over it

[blueseas]

52. True that

Fuck 45 to the poster above!

[uponit7771]

85. +1, some people feel safe enough to worry about that shit

[malaise]

86. My worry is those poor kidnapped children

separated by the Con and his administration's racist policies and incompetence.
Fuck that.

[uponit7771]

87. +1, after hearing about then being abused

[Dr Hobbitstein]

14. Think of the children...

Fuck that puritanical bullshit.

[Different Drummer]

28. +1. Love the handle, BTW.

[Aristus]

31. Yeah. The pearl-clutching and finger-wagging seems to be simply

a gentler variety of trolling...

[Leith]

17. Gosh, We're So Sorry That One Little Word

offended your delicate sensibilities enough for three (and counting) new posters had to weigh in from your fainting couches.

Where were you when Republican convention attendees wore T-shirts with "Trump 2016 Fuck Your Feelings" plastered across their chests? Did you join DU to express your dismay at every "lock her up!" at every Trump rally? Were you aghast when tRump openly bragged about (in his own words) grabbing the pussies of his unwilling victims? How about Nazi marchers openly chanting their racism in American streets.

There are countless more examples of vile and vicious language from the Republican side, but new posters felt the need to speak up in concern for words that impressionable children hear every day.

It is gratifying to know that little DU is important enough to receive the attention.

[Duppers]

59. Well said.

Thank you.

[demtenjeep]

92. I wish I could like individual posts because this one is spot on

thank you

[kiri]

93. Words on signs will not hurt them

By the time they learn about Santa Claus, kids have heard half the sex words.
(with meager understanding.)

Words on signs will not hurt them. Violent cops and racists will hurt them.

And what we did to the Vietnamese people...

[Midwestern Democrat]

18. I completely agree with you. If I lived in that neighborhood, I would have confronted these guys

too - obviously, I wouldn't have made racial slurs and physical threats, but I wouldn't be too polite about it either - and if another neighbor decided to remove the sign while these guys weren't home - let's just say, I wouldn't do anything to stop him and I sure wouldn't tattle on him.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

39. Well... Aren't you just fucking precious...

You’re ok with fucking theft and fucking vandalism because of the fucking work fuck? What the fuck?

[GoneOffShore]

79. Such a pearl cluther. Just stop.

I would hope you would stand outside and make sure the signs stayed up.

[heaven05]

94. and I know how

I would have told you to take the long jump off the short pier if I had seen you confronting anyone about a fuck trump sign. In fact, fuck trump and the ass he rode in on.

[MineralMan]

20. Yes, I'm sure you hate Trump just as much.

However, I leave individual people's political expressions up to them. As for kids seeing that word on a sign, I remember very well that I knew that word at age 6. I do not remember every being shocked or disturbed by that word.

I am not concerned that someone uses it to voice their opinion of Donald Trump. I am concerned that we have such a man living in the White House, instead.

Sometimes, resistance does, indeed, warrant the use of foul language, especially when it is resisting a foul person.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. What the fuck are you fucking talking about motherfucking foul-fucking language?!! nt

[Stargleamer]

73. Spoken like a true Lebowski fan. . .

https://m.

I like your style there, Dude. . .

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

96. I'd like to think my posts really tie the room together. nt

[mr_lebowski]

98. Well, thanks, I like yours too, man ... got that whole cowboy thing goin' on ... (nt)

[WhiskeyGrinder]

23. I encourage you to stop and consider the amount of privilege you may have that makes this your first

concern. I'm also curious about your background.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

24. "Would you want your children thinking this is an acceptable form of political discourse?"

Mine hear it every night at the supper table, sooo....

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. "What will we tell the children" Didn't buy into that way back when, don't buy into it now.

[stonecutter357]

38. DONALD TRUMP: "GRAB HER BY THE P***Y"

[irisblue]

48. If you are a parent, it's your job to talk to your kids about language& political expression

What other people do is not always your business.

[stopwastingmymoney]

97. This

Both points

[musette_sf]

55. let me know when the Deplorables stop using "libtard"

till then, joke 'em if they can't take a fuck.

[aeromanKC]

62. The word Fuck, use it proudly

[alphafemale]

64. FUCK the High Road.

Look where it lead us.

I am ONE with the FUCKING High Road.

[dameatball]

69. We are in the minority it seems, but I would not want that sign in my yard either.

The Trumpie is certainly an a**hole, but public displays of vulgarity are just not my thing. The first amendment gives us the right to use the language that appeals to our broader sense of propriety, in whatever manner we deem appropriate. Some senses are different than others. Tomato - tomahto

[elleng]

70. I agree, lamsmy,

much too much of such language these days, and doesn't help at all to use it in political context.

[lastlib]

71. Would you be okay with "Fornicate Donald Trump"?

"with a pitchfork"?

[GoneOffShore]

77. Thank you for your tone policing and concern trolling.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

80. Excuse me,

But have you seen any of the videos taken by people at trump rallies ? His language is outrageous and there are children right there. There isn't one vulgar, vile, shocking word in the English language that he hasn't used. An acquaintence of mine found a site that had taken all of his rallies and distilled them down to the bad language he spewed. I'm retired from the military and even I got an education. None of his supporters had any problems with his language, even those who had their children right there. They hung on his every foul word and applauded him for it.

So, I no longer care about the language anyone uses to speak their mind against that illegitimate usurper, because his supporters will certainly speak theirs in tones so blue the air cringes.

The civility in this nation was the first thing to go after he took office.

[demtenjeep]

91. Fuck Trump

and FUCK anyone that supports that fuck

[Tarc]

95. Thank you for your "concern"

It is duly noted.

[drray23]

15. If he had tried that stunt in my front yard where I had Hillary signs

He would have been met by a shotgun and told to leave my property. These deplorable think they can intimidate liberals and that we wont fight back.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

83. Yes and apparently trespassing and racist slurs don't bother them either.

And I'm going to guess they're not big on the First Amendment, except as it applies to them.

[hexola]

19. Conservatives cry about political correctness - we'll lets take the gloves off!!!

Eff a bunch of cell phone hillbillies!

[dalton99a]

26. Resist. Fuck civility. Fuck Trump and his traitor party

[nocoincidences]

29. It requires no effort at all to be 'nicer' than Trumpers.

It's time to start kicking their butts back.

[dameatball]

30. Sorry, not going to put a "Fuck" whatever sign in my yard. Other ways it can be stated.

I'll just leave it at that.

[NutmegYankee]

42. That in no way justifies some fascist POS trespassing and making threats.

There are many of us who probably wouldn't put out an F Bomb sign, even if we think or say it because it wouldn't go well with the neighborhood standards. BUT, that is never justification for some fascist goon to come to the door and make threats.

[dameatball]

45. Of course not. I was only referring to the sign.

[whopis01]

67. Why are you sorry about that?

And was someone asking you to put up such a sign?

[dameatball]

68. In this case, "sorry" is basically used as "excuse me." Commenting on some comments.

[Raster]

78. That's your choice, and thank Gawd you can still make it...

...they made their choice and the tRump*ist WHITE privilege police seem to have issues with it.

[beachbum bob]

33. Any stand your ground laws there? Perfect excuse.

[dalton99a]

46. North Carolina is a "Stand Your Ground" state

[Haggis for Breakfast]

84. And so is Florida.

[octoberlib]

34. I live here and 2020 RNC

is gonna be lit.

[VOX]

40. "I voted for Bernie Sanders, motherf-----."

“If [the sign] said Hillary Clinton, I wouldn’t give a f---, dude,” the man is seen and heard saying on the video....
- - - - - - -
Not even this redneck piece-of-shit whelp will admit he voted for 45. Interesting that he pivoted to claiming Bernie Sanders as “protective coloration.”

As for fellow Democrats/liberals/progressives, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK, FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY, OUR VERY LIVES, and profanity is a problem???? The planet is on fire with climate change, but let’s watch our vocabulary??? Children have been ripped from their families and held in cages, but please be pure in speech???

Jesus Fucking Christ Almighty. These fascist assholes are a mere hiccup away from shooting Democrats, but oh please, let us be ever-so-polite as we sip tea and nibble on watercress sandwiches.

[Demovictory9]

41. and couple says he called them the "n word"

[VOX]

50. Very early cognitive deterioration. Hannity-Breitbart Syndrome.

Just made that up, but it has a (nauseating) ring to it.

Apparently, all POC are “one thing” in the walnut-sized brains of these feral people.

[Different Drummer]

49. ...

[VOX]

51. Hey, DD.

[Different Drummer]

54. Hiya, VOX!

[BSdetect]

43. They love those pick ups. False sense of security and importance.

[7962]

75. How does a truck give someone a sense of security or importance?

You wanna look important, drive a 100K Tesla.

[kimbutgar]

47. What do you bet he was listening to a right wing radio station?.

And he got even more riled up seeing those signs.

The guy would blow his brains out if he drove around San Francisco. I see anti Twitler signs all the time in Windows.

[Demovictory9]

61. I saw f* trump t-shirts for sale in dc

[Initech]

53. #Civility

[Hoyt]

58. If it had been other way around, white wing racist would have shot guy and claimed

he feared for his life.

[dalton99a]

60. Without a doubt.

[mainer]

65. Interesting followup. He left a note of apology

saying "he didn't want anything to come of this." Haha, he's now scared because of the power of a cell phone video to ruin his life.

[Demovictory9]

66. thanks for the update. yes, cell phone video resulted in apology

[DRoseDARs]

82. North Carolina is a Stand Your Ground state. He's luck he isn't dead. nt

[zentrum]

72. Really worried about welfare.....

….of this man. KKK types will not tolerate this kind of confrontation. They act anonymously in the dark.

[DRoseDARs]

81. "I'm gonna get you, n*gger..." he said to the son of Vietnamese immigrants.

Christ on a cracker these people are stupid. Also, making terrorist threats. On camera.

North Carolina is a Stand Your Ground state. Nguyen should have shot the man, rid the world of one more racist.

[onetexan]

90. apparently the idiot couldn't tell the difference between a black guy and an asian guy

[Scurrilous]

88. K&R
