LONGVIEW, Wash. - White supremacists - or someone imitating their message of hate - struck here over the weekend, leaving behind a trail of racist graffiti.

A 13-year-old boy was among the first to find the graffiti - which included a swastika, a racial slur and the letters "SWP," which stands for Supreme White Pride - on a carport wall. There is also spray paint on a car owned by a black man.

The boy, Issac Meirndorf, said he hoped his neighbor wasn't the target of the hate.

"They're just like us," he said. "They're just a different race."

The same graffiti was also spray painted on a nearby strip mall and again on Longview's Church of the Nazarene.

It was the latest in a string of hate messages left in the city.

In September, someone hit ten places, including a park. The vandals targeted the House of Prayer church for the third time in the past 18 months.

The church's 96-year-old bishop, E.M. Jackson, wonders if there is an organized group. Or if it is just kids doing it, he wonders who is teaching them.

"The people have got to watch now," he said. "(It's) the only we'll be able to catch these kids, or whoever is doing it."

It's not just graffiti either. In March of last year, dozens of Easter eggs were stuffed with racist fliers and scattered around several Longview neighborhoods. The fliers were originally produced by a West Virginia-based group. The same fliers also appeared in Vancouver and Tigard. 

So far in each case, there's no way to tell if the hate is random or organized.

Anyone with tips on the case should call the Longview Police Department.
