The New York Times Begins A New Weekly Feature: "This Week In Hate."
By Dartagnan
Friday Dec 23, 2016 · 7:47 PM EST
The New York Times has added a depressing and unique feature to its national news coverage since the election of Donald Trump, a weekly recap of reported incidents of Trump-inspired hatred, harassment, vandalism and violence titled This Week in Hate.
Thus far there have been four installments. This is the first, published November 29, 2016. Some of these incidents have made the national news, while others have been locally reported only. Some of the incidents have been highlighted on this site, others have not. The following is a sampling from the November 29 installment (all links are from the original article):
Last week, a passenger on a Delta flight began shouting, Donald Trump and asked, We got some Hillary bitches on here?
In Astoria, Queens, on Nov. 17, an Arab-American Uber driver recorded a video of another driver shouting at him that Trump is president and theyll deport you soon.
At a Smiths supermarket in Albuquerque, N.M., on Nov. 23, a woman began shouting Islamophobic abuse at a shopper wearing a hijab. Employees removed the shouting woman from the store, but she waited in the parking lot for the woman in the hijab to emerge. Eventually, employees escorted the woman in the hijab to her car.
From the December 6, 2016 installment:
A mosque in Providence and one in Wayland, Mass. received letters saying Donald Trump is going to do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews. The same message was sent in November to several other mosques.
A uniformed MTA worker wearing a hijab was called a terrorist by a man while riding the 7 train in Manhattan. The man followed her into Grand Central Terminal and pushed her to the ground; she was treated for leg injuries.
A swastika and the word Trump were found on a blackboard in a middle school classroom at the William H. Lincoln School in Brookline, Mass. last Wednesday.

True Dough
(17,314 posts)is that all these incidents of hate should fatten up their newspaper again. If only they can find sponsors to advertise. Who can take out ads endorsing hatred? The RNC? The KKK? McDonnell Douglas?

(9,115 posts)A full 50% of the time, nazi fans pretend that hitler did nothing to the Jews, the Holocaust "never happened". Now they're bragging about how it happened.
Half the time, dRumpf's repuglinazis are outraged that anyone compares them to nazis and compares sniftler to hitler. Now, they're bragging about how dRumpf = hitler, from CA to MA.
That whole holocaust denial angle was one of post-WWII nazi lovers' earliest exhibitions of brain-dead schizophrenia. "The holocaust never happened, so let's do it again". Every schizo statement by our modern repuglinazis has its roots in, and patterns itself off of, that first founding schizo principle.

(30,755 posts)has a publication that features a section called "The Year in Hate." I get their publications because I send them donations a couple of times a year. That section often features the success the SPLC has had in suing hate groups or practices, and shutting down some of the hate.

(16,178 posts)I just thought it would be bringing hate to the front of the line.
Perhaps it would surprise some employers and neighbors.
