Hate Crimes Rising...Saw this coming

If you've been reading this blog, you know I said a violent backlash to an Obama victory was more likely than if he lost...well, while I do like to be right (lol), I was hoping I was wrong this time. And for the most part, life went on as usual for the vast majority of Americans no different than the day before the election. But some very ugly things are happening under the radar.

AP article today about Obama related hate crimes:

Election spurs 'hundreds' of race threats, crimes

Also, the anti-Latino climate is still toxic and will probably get worse because of the support the Latino community gave Obama, and the economic recession/depression we face.

This hate crime makes it clear that with history being made this election, racism is still a cancer in this society. The struggle continues...
