The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reports 5,125 cases of racist, anti-Semitic and other hateful messages last year, marking a tenfold increase from 2017. Maryland ranks 10th in the country, while Virginia sits at seventh, in terms of the number of incidents recorded.
“Last year, was a really divisive, divisive year, with the election. And there were accusations of a stolen election, there were a lot of people who, you know, were floating around in online conspiracy theories. And they felt emboldened from some of the far-right domestic extremists, which a lot of these groups that we’re seeing the propaganda come from,” Senior Associate Regional Director for the ADL D.C. region, Meredith Weisel said.
The ADL shared the following breakdown of case increases from 2019 to 2020 in D.C., Maryland and Virginia:
- DC increased from 19 incidents in 2019 to 30 in 2020
- MD increased from 59 incidents in 2019 to 163 in 2020
- VA increased from 138 incidents in 2019 to 249 in 2020
The D.C. region was home to hundreds of white supremacist propaganda cases in 2020, while the country saw more hateful messages than ever before, according to the ADL.
The Democrats are fomenting this with their “Systemic Racism” rhetoric – that only they ascribe to!
At 66 yo, I’ve only met one person really prejudiced about black people. That was thirty years ago.
Black on black crime statistics please!
Strap in. We are going for a heck of a ride.
Democrats are just not going to give up until it is a all races at war caused by their hatred and pushing division of our country. IT IS NOT BLACKS, WHITES, HISPANIC, INDIAN ETC. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS COUNTRY IS SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS THAT WANT COMPLETE CONTROL. Then the very ones (Democrats) saying all these people are racist are the very ones that will put all races in a firing squad to kill them to eliminate to take control. This is what the Nazi regime did in their takeover and the haters in government are following in their footsteps daily.
