A truck featuring numerous hanging effigies, including one of President Barack Obama, has arrived at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
According to WBTV, the truck, owned by a man who calls himself Patriot Phipps, was designed to call attention to the murder case of William Henry Phipps.
He says the display isn’t a racist display.
“It is not our fault that Mister Barack Obama is President and he just happens to be black,” he said in the video. “We had nothing to do with it. That was God.”
William Phipps was shot and killed while riding down a highway with his father.
