Racist incidents in the U.S. have continued to surge since Election Day, according to the latest tally by a national civil rights organization.
The number of reported hate crimes has doubled between Nov. 11 and Nov. 14, jumping from more than 200 to more than 400 incidents, the Southern Poverty Law Center said Tuesday.
Most of the acts of hateful intimidation and harassment—all of which were pulled from news reports, social media and submissions to the group—were characterized as “anti-immigrant” and took place either at businesses or schools.
The SPLC said many of the incidents involved direct references to President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric and proposals.
Earlier this week, the FBI released new federal data that show a spike in hate crimes against Muslims and black people from 2014 to 2015.

Harry “he needs another beating around his eye” Reid (just add what I just wrote to the SPLC tally) took to the floor of the senate and blamed Trump for all these alleged hate crimes. But look at what constitutes a hate crime.
They are taking them from SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!
If some guy says, “I hope Trump deports the illegals,” THAT’S A HATE CRIME!
If someone reiterates and endorses Trump policy, THAT’S A HATE CRIME!
If some student wears a Trump hat, THAT’S A HATE CRIME!
This is ridiculous.
The existence of Trump is a hate crime, and Reid, essentially, demands that Trump apologize for existing.
Ignore this crap. It’s an offensive strike in order to take the focus of the real hate crimes, the anti-Trump rioters.
I hate that wimp.
Just thankful that Trump ignores it.
They never asked Barky about the hate crimes against Jews during his term. That’s a great policy for Trump to adopt.
Especially when ol’Blue is spouting off.
You all heard about Ol Blue right? One eye blew this way and the other blew that way.
The media is run by democratic operatives with bylines.
They push the liberal narrative.
I’m not so sure, after all, I still hate liberals as much as I ever have. That might be a crime to liberals but the hate I have is still about the same level.
SPLC is a hate group!
When I was a kid I used to box. I was never really good at it but I enjoyed it. We were all friends and with the big gloves we never really hurt each other. But I’m old now and I feel that, bare fisted, I would love to box the shit out of Harry Reid, and I feel I could do it.
If “hate crimes” are what they want I suggest the protestors come out of the cities and protest in Trump country.
Liberals hate hate crimes. I hate people who hate hate crimes, and I’m sure some people hate me because I hate people who hate hate crimes. Well screw you – I hate the people who hate me because I hate people who hate hate crimes.
I’m glad we had this chance to clear this up.
It is all BS too… this was all over our local news yesterday….
I don’t know anyone that voted for Trump that has ever drawn a swastica or would vandalize private property. This is so laughably self inflicted and yet the media reports on it and moronic libs believe it.

SPLC as a source equals less than zero cred on ANY subject. Morris Dees and his millions$$ in the bank bilking gullible old women out of their $$. What an ass.
These idiots who would love to start a civil war are too stupid to realize they would be the first casualties in such a war.
It’s amazing that the people spewing racist, sexist, xenophobic, & etc. labels at Trump & his conservative followers, are in full peacock display of their hate and intolerance. Freaks on display.
The so called “hate crime rise” since Trumps election is bought and paid for by REVCOM.ORG, George Soros, Moveon .org, the Democratic Party, and the media. ipso facto. muddafukker.
The only rise in hate crimes I’ve seen, are the assaults on Trump supporters/suspected Trump supporters by mainly DWLs and their pet monk…err minority.
The hate crimes reporting is BS, the whole concept reeks. Agency heads play with it. What is a hate crime against one person is not against another even though the circumstances, even the perpetrators, are identical.
And despite all that hate crimes against Jews are still far higher. More than double, and more even when compensating for share of population. How often do we hear that???
With apologies to BFH, this Boo Fucking Hoo (BFH) movement is turning into self-parody and it’s highly entertaining.
