This July, 2025 news release shows how thin the race card is getting in:
An unsealed federal indictment detailed the charges against Mario Raynard Roberson, who had blamed vandalism at his Huntsville home in 2023. Later, that home burned to the ground, leading many to blame racism and call for a federal investigation.
That federal investigation has led to numerous charges against Roberson, including one that carries a sentence of life in prison. Roberson went to the media when racist vandalism was spray-painted onto his home after a heated neighborhood association meeting where members voted to ban the use of homes as short-term rentals in May 2023. He claimed that someone at the meeting had threatened him.
"People are being terrible because of the hatred in their heart," said Roberson at the time. The graffiti read, "We don't like your kind," and ended with a racial epithet. Roberson, who was described as black in a KTRK-TV report, said he would not leave the neighborhood and would stand up to the alleged racism instead.
At the time Roberson also claimed that someone fired a gunshot at him through a window in his house, narrowly missing him. Only one month later in June, the home burned to the ground. That led to some organizations demanding that the Department of Justice investigate the incidents. In a June 2023 KRIV-TV report, a spokesperson from CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says that the group demanded that the FBI open an investigation into the matter as a possible hate crime.
Prosecutors said that Roberson hired three men, one of whom was a relative, to commit the arson so that he could make an insurance claim on his property with State Farm Insurance. However, something went wrong, and two of the three alleged arsonists died in the flames, prosecutors believe.
