Sharmeka  Moffitt, a 20-year-old black woman, is in critical condition with burns  on more than half her body, after she claims she was set on fire Sunday  by three men who wrote the initials “KKK†and a racial slur on her car  in northeastern Louisiana.
  According to the Franklin Parish Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement  officers responded to a call around 8 p.m. near the walking trail at  Civitan Park to find Moffitt attacked and burned, the 
Franklin Sun reports.
  The Franklin Parish Sheriff’s Office along with Winnsboro police and  Louisiana State Police are investigating the attack, but law enforcement  officers acknowledged Monday they do not have any suspects in the case.  They’re also not calling the incident a crime at this time.
    
Update 10/23/12 5:37PM EST: According to the Franklin Sun,   Winnsboro Police Chief Lester Thomas, evidenced gathered at the scene  of the incident shows 20-year-old Sharmeka Moffitt’s initial claims that  she was attacked and set on fire turned out to be false claims made up  by Moffitt.
  Crunk Feminist Collective  is reporting authorities have not called the attack a hate crime  because “Sharmeka could not definitively identify the race of her  attackers.†
  
Crunk Feminist Collective with more details and context:
  
The fact that the race of her attackers is being used as a gauge  for this hate crime demonstrates the limitations of how we think about  race and racism in this country. This Black woman was targeted and  subjected to severe and life-threatening bodily injury for sport. Her  perpetrators then thought they should punctuate their crime by scrawling  hateful racially incendiary messages on her car. What isn’t hateful  about that?
      And what is with all the shock and bewilderment? Winnsboro,  Louisiana is just about 60 miles from Jena, Louisiana, the site of the  2007 Jena 6 incident. I grew up in Ruston, Louisiana, about 75 miles  from Winnsboro. As late as the late 1990s, the KKK marched in downtown  Ruston, and my classmates bragged during class trips about having  relatives who were high ranking officials in the terrorist organization.   Racially incendiary acts are commonplace in this part of the world.  (Every damn part of the U.S. world) Like critical race theorists tell  us, racism is not an aberration. It is part of the everyday, commonplace  fabric of our lives. Before folks start decrying this act as an  individual aberration of 3 sick individuals, perhaps we would do well to  remember that their acts are symptomatic of the continued persistence  of racism in this country. 
  Otis Chisley, the president of the local branch of the NAACP,
 told the AP that regardless of the investigation’s outcome racism and KKK activity remain a fact of life in the state.
  “It’s prevalent throughout Louisiana,†
he told the AP. “It’s hidden but it exists.
