Earlier this month, it was revealed that interracial marriages have reached an all-time high, but some people still take issue with the notion that love has no color.

A couple in Detroit comprised of a Black man and white woman received a noose in the mail, alongside photos of people being lynched, for their colorblind love.

What’s even more shocking is the fact that the man who sent the items is not only Black himself, but “allegedly” holds a PhD. “When I opened the letter up, first thing I saw was a noose,”

Carl Smith said. “I opened it up further and it was like four pages of hate mail. People being hung, black guys, Nicole [Brown] Simpson getting her throat cut, and I was terrified.”

Smith and his wife, Susan, contacted the FBI who requested that they send the items over. Upon further investigation detectives were able to find DNA on the noose, which allowed them to pinpoint the culprit.

Glenn E. Morgan Jr., 41, of Detroit, and founder of the National Black Men’s Education Association, was identified for committing the crime. Despite the fact that no one has ever even really heard of his alleged association.
