The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Evandale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evandale</span></a>, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind. </p><p><a href="https://world-outlook.com/2025/02/28/majority-black-town-in-ohio-launches-armed-watch-after-neo-nazi-klan-provocations/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">world-outlook.com/2025/02/28/m</span><span class="invisible">ajority-black-town-in-ohio-launches-armed-watch-after-neo-nazi-klan-provocations/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/AfricanAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AfricanAmerican</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/LincolnHeights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LincolnHeights</span></a> <br><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Cincinnati" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cincinnati</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ohio</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/WaPo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaPo</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/BlackNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackNews</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/WashingtonPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WashingtonPost</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/KuKluxKlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KuKluxKlan</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/Black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Black</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/FightRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FightRacism</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a></p>
