The New York Times Begins A New Weekly Feature: "This Week In Hate."

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.”

This Week in Hate tracks hate crimes and harassment around the country since the election of Donald Trump. The Southern Poverty Law Center and other groups are keeping detailed counts of harassment and abuse. We will regularly present a selection of incidents to show the scope of the problem. This article, the first in the series, includes incidents reported in the last two weeks.

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):

• In the last week, three mosques in California and one in Georgia have received letters threatening that Donald Trump “is going to do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews.” The letters were signed “Americans for a Better Way.”

• 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 “they’ll deport you soon.”

• At a Smith’s 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:

• On Saturday, a Muslim police officer and her teenage son were accosted in Brooklyn by a man who yelled “go back to your country”and shoved the boy. The officer had received a medal in 2014 for saving a baby from a fire. A man has been charged with a hate crime in the case.

• 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.

1. The good news for them

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?

[Cha]

2. Sad yes.. Glad they're exposing it and keeping track.

[ailsagirl]

6. That's how I feel

What if they started slobbering all over that clod? I'd be FURIOUS
This means they're 100% with us and I applaud them

[radical noodle]

3. A sad commentary on the lives we will live

for the next four years.

[canetoad]

4. So unbearably sad

That they even have to publish something like this.

Happy Dogmas Sis!!!

[babylonsister]

11. Hey, my friend...

Happy Happy to you!!!

[dhill926]

5. soon to be it's own section...

no doubt...

[Paladin]

7. Good.

Let's get a hard look at the sort of ugly things the Trump regime is setting off. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

[libtodeath]

8. Why didnt they do the same a year ago?

[marybourg]

9. Because a year ago those very

people were still chafing under the heavy yoke of political correctness (a.k.a. civility). Now they've been freed.

Just in case:

12. What about the alt right terrorists in Montana?

13. Note the schizo nature of their "what hitler did to the Jews" and 'dRumpf hitler' comments.

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.

14. give donations

to ACLU and Southern Law Poverty Center I know I will.

[murielm99]

16. The Southern Poverty Law Center

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.

15. mug shots should be posted

along with place of employment and residence of all .

[eggplant]

17. Doxxing is immoral regardless of which side you are on.

[onethatcares]

18. is that what that is called?

I just thought it would be bringing hate to the front of the line.

Perhaps it would surprise some employers and neighbors.

[eggplant]

20. I'm sure it would.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing

It doesn't make it right.

19. I dunno; the local cops do it, but

one has to be presumed guilty.
