Mark Fisher, of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, spoke to the media Tuesday afternoon, not far from the location of an ugly racially-infused property dispute between Rumstick Point neighbors last week.

In his brief remarks, Mr. Fisher said it was not surprising to see racism in this wealthy Barrington enclave.

“Well, I don’t know the demographics specifically out here, but you would assume that they’re not too familiar with black people and black culture, and the offense that that type of behavior would have throughout the whole community, and with decent people.”
