To the cowards who welcomed my mother to the neighbourhood by egging her house and peeing on the front step: First, you suck. My mother has worked hard to pay for this new house, loves the neighbourhood, and has made fast friends with her immediate neighbours who have already invited her to tea and been to her house for a visit. As the first/only Black resident in this neighbourhood she felt safe, welcomed and comfortable…until last night.Second, don’t waste eggs. It’s cruel and not good use of your [parent’s] money.Third, a neighbour welcomed my mother in person with a nice jar of homemade jam. Jam is always preferable to eggs and/or pee as a gift. Please think about it. —Don’t Want Your Pee and Eggs

Useless Oxygen Consumers….
Were they white or brown eggs? Did they throw the eggs first and then pee? If yes, did the pee wash some of the eggs off?
In some cultures, that’s a sign of worship…
not so much this one though.
What a bunch of assholes.
I’m so sorry this happened to your mom. OB.
Nova Scotia still in the dark ages I see. Is the burning cross next?
They solve those Highway of Tears murders, yet BNiBC?
Sorry for being flippant, but the OP’s story indicates that there are a heck of a lot of Nova Scotians who aren’t cross burning, knuckledraggers. Given that our last bout of Klanfoolery was solved in about 24 hours with input from the general public, I can only hope that the same happens here. Sounds as if this lady’s neighbors will have no trouble rallying around her in the face of this idiocy.
OP, so sorry for your Mom. Hope she is doing OK.
Bluenoser in BC; The victim was black, so what? It doesn’t make it a hate crime or even a racially biased crime. A new neighbour got egged, it happens in every city. Discrimination is a horrible practice, but reverse- discrimination exists as well. How does the OB know that her mother is the first, and only black person in the whole geographic area? Was the census information published or did they take their own door-to-door census? Your kids do a childish thing, it doesn’t make you, or them, racist. It makes them kids, that are being kids.
PS- My next problem is with the word “sorry”. Your father dies, sorry. This lines closed, sorry. You got gum on your shoe, sorry. Out of toilet paper when you gotta wipe, sorry. You know Sonic in real life, sorry. Your sisters a whore, sorry. You got egged but nobody really cares, sorry. Your house got broken into and your dog was abducted, sorry ’bout that. Forgot to hold the door for you, sorry.
“Were they white or brown eggs? “
Are you saying brown eggs aren’t good enough to be thrown at houses? Thats pretty fucking racist man. You disgust me. Racist piece of shit.
So sorry to hear this has happened to your Mom. Is the neighbourhood typically like that? That would be my first question. Not necessarily “race” comes into play with this situation. In a close-knit community when someone new comes in it can sometimes be deemed as a “threat” to the “norm”…if you will? These kids are idiots, plain and simple. I hope with the help of your neighbours and a great neighbourhood watch program that the little bastards are caught (with our without their pants down)!!
So much for feeling safe & it being a nice neighborhood.
Makes me thankful I live out in the woods, anyone pisses on my steps its probably a raccoon or a skunk !
hfx_godzilla; I was trying to determine how racist the “egg throwers” are presumed to be by knowing which egg color that was used. After finding out if white or brown eggs were thrown, I would then be able to develop a theory to determine which would be the “more racist” egg choice. This has to figured out as all eggs are currently being viewed as racist, and this mentality must stop!
Set up a web cam and catch the dickless shits in the act next time. They will be embarrassed when da cops make them clean it up.
Sorry sonic but I strongly believe all eggs are created equal regardless of colour. Your bigoted views on egg relations are archaic.
I can only presume that the OP and her Mother are hoping like hell that it’s just little spackers acting arsey. Any news on the class action suit against the Nova Scotia Home For Coloured Ova, or is it too soon to be making yolks.
hfx_godzilla; I can’t explain it any simpler then this. By knowing which shade of eggshell a “racist” would prefer to throw, then we can immediately figure out if all future eggings are a “racist” act. This theory would apply to the OB’s case, as well as, all eggings in general.
PS- I also don’t appreciate your false assumption that I’m a racist piece of shit. The minute that “color” is mentioned the racial accusations are thrown around. Your using the OB’s mentality and I don’t like it, you are also terrible at trolling me.
My cousin got egged by a passing motorist on Bathurst in Toronto walking on her way home from her Hebrew class.
She was pretty shaken up by it.
ANY time someone does something like this, racially charged or not, it’s just mean and so dejecting for the victim.
Ugh, this makes me so sad for your mom, OB. I wish I could give her a hug.
hfx_godzilla; That would be another fail attempt. I would have given a point if you had said “Stormfront buddies”, as the KKK is a little archaic and in the southern United States. Also, if I did choose to partake in this conversation that your trying very hard to start with me, then it would be a debate, vice argument.

Sonic, if you keep replying to hfx_godzilla that means they are doing a pretty damn good job of trolling you.
Remember, Do Not Feed The Trolls!
Note to self when moving in a new neighbourhood:
1. get metal door.
2. get insulated hinges.
3. get electric fence transformer, tied to the door.
4. get camera.
5. upload videos of newly energized pricks.
ain’t nova scotia just fucking wonderful.
LS. It’s a fucking wonder.
Probably the offspring of those fast friends and immediate neighbours.
Kids these days. I tell ya, NO creativity. And lazy! Used to be one time, not that long ago, a kid would actually put some thought and effort into something like that. You know, find the perfect dog turd, grab a paper lunch bag and a lighter/matches from home without mom giving them the fifth degree, carefully picking up said turd without ruining it’s integrity and getting it all over yourself, bagging it up, stealthfully taking it to the target’s door, setting it ablaze while ringing the bell/knocking on door then beating a hasty retreat into the bushes to watch the hilarity ensue.
Now? “Bah! Too much work. Can’t be bothered. I’ll just throw eggs, (obviously kids. Have they SEEN the price of a dozen eggs these days?!), and piss on their porch.” Bush league stuff. In fact, I bet that somewhere in the world right now, there is someone working on an app for that, just so the little dears won’t have to actually go outside to be a pest.
In all seriousness OB. I would hope that this is an isolated incident. I hope it’s simply bored kids causing a nuisance and not something racially charged, as you hinted on. Either way, it’s a miserable thing to have happen to your mother and I sincerely hope that she and her new neighbors are able to find the little urchins so that they can answer for, (and clean up), their vandalous prank. Best of luck.
OP. I hope with the kindness of her neighbours, she will eventually absorb the gratuity of a community. These perps are just no-good-nothings with a no-good-future that will bite them in the ass some day.
Thank you for the supportive comments. It happened again tonight ~20 minutes ago. I ran outside and heard them running away laughing: 2-3 of them, male, perhaps 15 years old or so. So disappointed… RCMP came this time because they went for the windows. Looks like this is going to be a weekly thing.
I’m terribly sorry to hear that.I do pray your Mum is OK.This must be very upsetting for your mother and you too,of course.
Good luck in catching those little small minded shits….
Ivan, that last little piece of “klanfoolery” was more of a family squabble with the idiot kids trying to be “smart” with the burning cross than being racist.
You are correct Ossifer Tim. I was using that example to highlight the general support for the family and outrage at the act from us, still locked in the Dark Ages, Nova Scotians. Our poor benighted little backwater does not have a higher than national average proportion of dolts, cretins and jackasses, although anyone using public transit or frequenting the shopping malls could be forgiven for thinking so.
Hfxgrrl – so sad to hear that this is becoming a regular occurrence. I hope the cowardly little bastards are caught and get the size 10 bootprint up the arse that will do them most good. Hopefully the RCMP and your Mom’s neighbors can bring this stupidity to a rapid end.
Yes, hopefully. She’s going to do some asking around and see what she uncovers. Other than this nonsense, it’s a nice peaceful area and this was an expensive purchase for her so moving isn’t an option right now. RCMP didn’t really do anything; just drove around the neighborhood and drove past my mom’s house but didn’t stop to look around or talk. Looks like it’s up to us to solve this. Anyway, thanks again for the comments.
