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.

Also what everyone needs to keep in mind is that ANYONE can report ANYTHING to police and get a report.

It does not mean it actually happened. It just means it was “reported.”

"a large subset of white people in this country who feel that they are losing everything they know, that the country their forefathers built has somehow been stolen from them."

mass voter fraud

$800,000+ from FRE/FNM... later given to ACORN

No proof of citezenship

Terrorist Friends

yeah I'd say the feeling the country was stolen is a good asessment

Thus begins the “narrative” whereby, for our own good of course, the “domestic security” force is brought into being.

Well it certainly has spawned more than one “racist” text sent to my phone. More than a few of them sent by black friends. Most recently? A graphic with all the president’s pictures asking if you can find the 44th. Pretty dam funny if ya ask me.

The Southern Poverty Law Center will find a white racist behind every tree. They wouldn't have a job without all those racist whites running around the country. I wonder where all those crimes are occurring?

“..Schoolchildren chanting “Assassinate Obama.”

Oh, yeah, right. I must have missed the video on that one, Jesse. Could you do us a favor and source any of this bs. That would be special.

All brought to you by the disenchanted who want their cut now or else.

This has already been covered here and it’s still all the media bullshit carriers.

The media would love to see something happen.

First it was blood in the streets if Zero didn’t win, now it’s blood in the streets because Zero won. The let down must be crushing them.

my humble, naive guess...

Buying a pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle
AND/OR
ammo...

Is probably considered a race threat by plenty of Obama's supporters.

Although probably 99% of the people are doing it because they
can tell the next President simply will try to grab those guns.

And NOT because the next President has a certain level of melanin.

But I'm sure that line of reasoning is above the reasoning
capacity of Obama supporters.

In Cobb County Georgia the local news channel said that homes with Obama signs were being “vandalized”. It turned out that some kids paint-balled a portion of their homes. Of course one wonders if everything were in reverse if the Atlanta tv stations would make any big deal of that at all.

how many of these are fakes by race baiters seeking publicity. (see black churches burned for insurance money)

[and the recent one that bruned after the election]

no rush to document the homosexuals attacking christrians just because they are christian. (or something near to, for those who really just can’t like mormons)

no push to deal with the “we’re getting whitey’s pie” comments as racial tension.

Time to connect the dots, this is about the left pushing for their very real thought police.

Yet, far more frequent acts of vandalism, assault and harassment by homosexual activists in the wake of Prop 8’s passage is conveniently ignored by the media.

A couple of days after the election, my son was asked if he hates blacks. Then he was asked if he had voted for Obama. Since he had voted for Zero, it was all good.

I wonder what would have happened if he had voted differently or if it had been me instead of him getting confronted.

....the SPLC makes their living off looking for “hate Crimes” and then suing....they’re a professional law suit outfit...last I heard they were worth $48 million.

Except that it turns out that it was...

3.. Blacks torching black churches, in order to inpsire anti-white rage
