[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too, to some extent.  I feel sort of like a veil has been lifted and I'm exposed to a lot of hatred and anger that I didn't know existed in my super diverse and inclusive DC bubble (e.g., reading about the hate crimes since the election, when watching a video clip of the alt-right Spencer speech at Maggiano's, reading comments from racist/xenophobic/sexist Trump supporters).

For example, one guy posted a hateful comment on a news article on FB--when I went to his page, I saw a picture of him wearing a t-shirt that said something like "I wish Hillary Clinton had married O.J. Simpson."

Yes, this sort of thing does make me feel a little dirty/ill. :([/quote]

I suggest you read about the fact that many racist acts were hoaxes[/quote]

Exactly.  Even the WashPo writes articles with people claiming horribly racist things were said to them - but with no proof or eyewitness corroboration.  Just someone telling an anecdote about something that may or may not have been said to them.  By this time, I'm having a hard time believing any of these reports, unless there is some kind of proof, video, multiple witnesses.  It's incredible to me that a "respected" news source publishes articles which are pretty much, "He said this to me!" and puts it out there as fact.[/quote]
