Several residents of Tremont, Cleveland, are expressing anger and disappointment after finding racist flyers posted in their neighborhood. One flyer, found at Clark Field, proclaimed 'Only White Lives Matter,' while another displayed outside Dante restaurant featured a white family with a swastika on the father's arm.
Every other race looks out for each other. Isn't it time white people do the same?,' asks a poster found at Clark Field.That flier is just one of several Tremont residents who are outraged over finding this week.Megan Jones-Turner told me she was walking her dogs at the Clark Field trail that begins at West 11th Street and Clark Avenue this weekend.The sign she found said, 'We are approximately 4% of the world's population.
