A state representative from Nashua has been targeted by white supremacists in online racist attacks.
The threats against Rep. Manny Espitia came from the group NSC-131, after Espitia noted racist and anti-Semitic graffiti left by the group.
The graffiti included phrases like “Keep New England White” and “Death To Israel.” Espitia posted images of the racist phrases, which he said were left in a Latino neighborhood in Nashua.
“For folks who think that we live in a ‘color blind society’ you’re absolutely wrong,” Espitia wrote. “Don’t ever tell me that racism doesn’t exist in NH.”

Espitia and others blamed the graffiti on NSC-131, a self-described group of white nationalists. No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity. I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won t stop because of Neo-Nazis.
