White neighbor gets prison for harassing black family

EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A neighbor accused of harassing and using racial epithets against a black Pennsylvania family for years has been sentenced to prison.

A Northampton County judge sentenced 45-year-old Robert Kujawa to the term Friday after a jury convicted him of ethnic intimidation, harassment and stalking, the (Allentown) Morning Call reported.

Prosecutors said Kujawa hung Confederate flags in the windows of his Bethlehem Township home, but only those facing the black family's residence, and used a racial slur against the woman and her son when they were in the backyard. Kujawa's attorney denied his client, who is white, used the slur.

Family members said the man used a pellet gun to shoot out their outdoor lights and damage their furniture.

He's likely to try to issue a pardon and try to appoint this guy as head of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Maybe he hides his history. Maybe he is not pure white if anyone can figure out what it means.
