Vandals have a warning for the “honky” flying the Confederate flag in front of his home: Take it down — or else.

Canton, Ohio resident Dennis Tipton says two bricks were thrown through his front window and a threatening message was wrapped around one of them.

The note read, “Take the flag down, you racist, bitch ass honkies or it’s gone (sic) be worse.”

It was signed, “Black Panther Party.”

Tipton put the flag up over Memorial Day weekend.

“I put it up to honor all the fallen war dead; that’s what the holiday is about,” Tipton tells the Canton Repository.

“Black, white red or yellow, it’s about the fallen. At least that’s what I was taught in school… It’s obviously the act of someone who didn’t graduate, doesn’t know what the flag represents. The flag represents the fallen heroes, the people who gave their lives for the freedom that we enjoy in this country.”

Tipton says not only was his front window broken, but the bricks hit a mirror inside his home, and broke a number of cups in a 100-year-old set of china.

Tipton and Ana Sainz had been living in San Francisco for some forty years before moving to the neighborhood five years ago.

“We’re from San Francisco, and this is absurd to me,” Sainz tells the paper.

“I never thought that I’d come to my old man’s hometown and have a hate crime committed against us… I’ve never in all my years, I’ve never had anything like this happen to me in San Francisco. I was born and raised there. I’m Cuban American, never had anything like this happen. I come here, I think it’s a friendly, open town. Dennis is very friendly, very open, very kind. And boom, boom, boom. I don’t know what’s going on.”

He wants people who don’t know the history of the flag to “get an education.

“Don’t hate me because you don’t know what it’s about. I have every right to fly that flag,” he says.

“I have no prejudice. We’re all pink on the inside,” Tipton tells ABC 5.

Tipton filed a police report, but so far, there are no suspects.
