Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.
Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.
From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders.
There have been "hundreds" of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.
One was in Snellville, Ga., where Denene Millner said a boy on the school bus told her 9-year-old daughter the day after the election: "I hope Obama gets assassinated." That night, someone trashed her sister-in-law's front lawn, mangled the Obama lawn signs, and left two pizza boxes filled with human feces outside the front door, Millner said.
She described her emotions as a combination of anger and fear.
"I can't say that every white person in Snellville is evil and anti-Obama and willing to desecrate my property because one or two idiots did it," said Millner, who is black. "But it definitely makes you look a little different at the people who you live with, and makes you wonder what they're capable of and what they're really thinking."

And I hope every single case of fraudulent same-race threat and crimes is reported.

Agreed....
This same stuff happened to Bush/Cheney in the “thousands.” Nobody cared.
Just don’t hold your breath for anyone to take any action regarding the threats and actions of the anti-Prop 8 homosexuals against Mormons, Catholics, and other Christians.
hmmm....I don’t remember the left getting upset about movies and documentaries being made that encouraged the assassination of President Bush.

Why do I suspect that we are going to be bombarded with stories like this of dubious provenance while stories of intolerance toward anyone who doesn’t think this manchild is the second coming will be buried if they are reported at all. The race grievance industry is not going to give up its pot of gold.
I also don’t believe anything coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Exactly. It was very seldom even reported in the MSM. But now threats against Obama will inundate us. And even legitimate opposition will be a “threat”.
90% Bull Sh***
But we are better than that.
I don’t let my kids use the “but he did it!” excuse and I hate to see it here.
This stuff is going on. My boys come home with nasty racial stuff kids have said.
I can’t believe it. Haven’t we gotten beyond this?

Ah yes, America remains a profoundly racist country and will until every one of the Bush / Cheney supporters are arrested and executed.
This nothing more than propoganda from the MSM. The Far Left is drumming up support for the Fairness Doctrine.

Pfft. That wasn’t a threat, that was just Dominos.

Funny, is there anything in this article about the churches that have been vandalized and the people attacked because of Proposition 8?
I refuse to take anything in the MSM seriously anymore. They are the Goebbels media.
Where were these people during the last eight years that assanating Pres. Bush was their daily mantra?
