'It's a gut punch,' said a man who only wanted to be identified as JB. 'I don't think that's something anyone would want their children exposed to.'

Blurred images of racist language and symbols spray painted on a Manhattan Beach elementary school's playground that was discovered Thursday morning as kids were on the blacktop. A South Bay elementary school had hateful, anti-Semitic messages spray painted all over the school playground, the sixth incident of this type to happen in the area in the last year.

JB said he wanted to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from some in the Manhattan Beach community, but he shared the photos of the anti-Semitic image and at least two instances of the N-word spray painted on the playground. The incident occurred just one day after the return of Bruce's Beach, a prime stretch of property in Manhattan Beach that was formally handed back to the descendants of a Black couple it was seized from more than a century ago.

"To turn around and have this happen, it's almost like one step forward and three steps back," JB said.
