NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A personalized Louisiana license plate is raising eyebrows in Houston, Texas where one driver says he spotted the “racist” plate.
“I was just stuck in traffic. I looked over because I enjoy vanity plates. I took a look at it and then realized what does that say? And it said, ‘LINCHN1,'” said Andrew Hemingway.
Hemingway lives in Houston, where he was driving, and he says he saw this racist personalized license plate.
“I immediately pulled out my phone and took a picture. The argument could be made that he’s expressing himself, but what are you expressing? It is derogatory and it harkens back to a horrible part of American history, when an entire society was terrorized by their neighbors, essentially,” Hemingway said.
quote:
“It is vulgar, hate speech,” Hemingway said.
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles issued a statement in response to the plate.
The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles sent a notification to the owner, recalling the plate. A new plate will be assigned to the vehicle. Ethnic, racial, vulgar, or indecent connotation that may be offensive to good taste and decency are not allowed on personalized plates. In this particular request, Louisiana OMV personnel inadvertently overlooked this personalized license plate, leading to an unfortunate mistake.

Why does it matter if white or black. Lynching shouldn't be celebrated..right?

Maybe it’s Nancy Linch. Or Lin Chen? Seems they would have at least spelled lynch right if they were referring to hanging people.

That was me driving. Big David Lynch fan.

I’m betting it had to do with the persons name or nickname and not racial lynchings

I would 100% think that it is someone's name.

There’s no way this is news worthy.

“I saw the license plate and was immediately in fear for my life, as well as everyone else’s.”

Triggered over a license plate so much so that he wasted a lot of time and energy over it. Sad

Is short for Lunch And 1. Refers to lunch and 1 beer. It’s a common phrase. Foolish to think it is racist.

You didn’t fix shite, you freak piece of shite. All you did was inconvenience someone you don’t even know.
