Finally someone else sees the irony here........
I'm liberal, but this is complete BS. Are you not supposed to watch out for your own neighborhood? I mean, how many adults do chalk art on their own house? He could have easily ended the situation by saying it was his house. Instead, he assumed racism, provoked them into calling the cops because it looked like vandalism, and now they're both fired. How does this improve race relations?

Agree EL. (Hell just froze). They made a mistake in that they didn’t know it was his propert, but that’s all. If it was a white guy I’m willing to bet they would’ve done the same. Seems to be people that want to receive full grace from others, no questions asked, but aren’t willing to extend that same grace to others. I hope this couple sues the living s*** out of their employers and win.
I didn't know about the historical usage of uncle and aunt in the south:
"Uncle" was a common appellation used in the Southern United States to refer to older male black slaves or servants.[12] However, the imagery evokes a servant and uses a title that reflects how white Southerners "once used 'uncle' and 'aunt' as forms of address for older blacks because they refused to say 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.'" [14]
Um..not sure about that. I know what people called em, and it wasn't ever Uncle or Aunt.I didn't know about the historical usage of uncle and aunt in the south:
