    I guess hate crime is too strong of a word?

    Next thing, it won’t even be considered a crime just free speech.

    Here is today’s Hatewatch; this story is also included. Also, let’s not forget about the daily microaggressions that POC experience every day. Jeff Sessions ain’t gonna do shit for us and Neil Gorsuch won’t either. You know what to do, folks! *Travis Scott voice* Pick up the phone, baby!

      I got people on Jezebel telling Racism is a southern problem and the north doesn’t do shit like this. I’m tired Hachi so damn tired of this nonsense.

      And that’s why I don’t fuck with Jez like that anymore. The commentariat over there can be a whole lotta white girls (and Gawker transplants) keeping their privilege safe and sound, no thanks. I’m good here and on GT, where people don’t prop up the BS.

    He told the Outlook that he has friends in Australia and Canada who he says never have to go through discrimination like this.

    His real friends wouldn’t lie to him.

      Dismissed because that bullshit was spoken like someone who doesn’t experience routine race-based discrimination. Racism and hate are racism and hate just because it’s not “a lot” or covert as opposed to overt doesn’t mean it’s not bad. FOH.

      Shit like this happens in Canada too, for sure, but the fact that his friends from Australia haven’t dealt with racism has me calling bullshit!

    Just another day in White America. Posted this two days ago, just as applicable here:

    “This will keep happening because the perpetrators never actually get caught. It’s a simple, easy and quick way for racists/trumppets to spread hate.

    The police don’t actually care enough to use the resources to find them, because it doesn’t affect them or white supremacy.”

      More concerned with giving the benefit of the doubt for white people’s 1st Amendment rights* than protecting the lives (and rights!) of everyone else.

      *And things like this aren’t even protected if they are fucking prosecuted for it!

    Ugh, terrible. This especially hurts, for me:

    “I’m not going to be a hero and stay here and fight about it.” Afshar said. “I’m not going to sit here and wait for someone to shoot me.”

    Of course not. Of course he shouldn’t put himself in harm’s way. But now he has to reroute his life. And now those assholes are getting what they want, too - intimidating someone out of the country.

      Seriously! The guy doesn’t want to martyr himself so he ends up having to do what they wanted in the first place. And what would being stubborn get him other than killed without justice? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

    Does anyone else realize Oregon is racist as fuck? I always get a chuckle when people tell me how much nicer it is up there and the people are so nice and everything is nice. I laugh at them and just nod because literally all of them telling me this are white.

    My two trips to PDX I’ve made, one I was told I didn’t deserve to date my girlfriend (who was white) the other I was told I couldn’t be at Burnside even though I brought my donation, but all my (white) homies were allowed to stay. I’m like one shade darker than khaki. Fuck Oregon.

    Don’t worry anyone, I am sure Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III will get right on this because if there is anything that fine gentleman will not tolerate is bigotry or discrimination of any kind.

    seven .45-caliber bullets placed in the shape of a cross.

    “If I see you here next month, I will shoot you and burn your house,” the note read, according to the site.

    “Oh, and ... Jesus loves you!”
