    | The 2016 presidential election surfaced skeletons in America’s closet that many falsely assumed were fading away. In the following weeks and months, neo-Nazis and fascists openly celebrated a world they think is going their way, while violence and intimidation against minorities of all kinds made headlines across the country.  Whether or not this wave of hate crimes and enthusiastic bigotry is a long-term trend remains to be seen, but the country we live in right now doesn’t feel as safe as it used to for many Muslims, people of color, the LGBTQ community, or just about anyone else who would look out of place on the set of Leave It to Beaver.

    | Not really, supposed racist incidents are turning out to be mostly false.  In MS, a black church burned down discovered one of its own black members set the fire.  They now share a church building with a nearby white congregation.  However, several of the minority on white crimes are being ignored in Chicago, Berkley, and other places. |
