I can do what I want. I live in America: Racist woman

Two days after a man was sentenced to probation and community service for putting up a sign as a "joke" in a public works garage that said "whites only" on a drinking fountain, city police were called to a home on Sunday to investigate another racially charged sign.

This one was clearly no joke.

The police told the woman she must take down the handwritten sign on a fence on her property saying, "I rent three bedrooms [at her address to] white people."

The 53-year-old woman told police she put up the sign after someone tried to break into her house and added, "I can do what I want. I live in America," according to a police report.

Police said they received complaints and she must take the sign down. An officer at the scene said the woman agreed to take down the sign under protest. The officer said the woman already had seven more signs she was planning to hang up.
