View submission: Three Palestinian students shot and wounded in Burlington, Vermont, police say

View parent comment

a muslim man was shot nine days ago in providence [1], in what certainly seems like another hate crime. there's no shortage of racists in blue states, even if we don't elect them (generally)

It's inexcusable to target people for belonging to a certain group. I wish empathy and social emotional education[1] were more widespread.

There are more Trump voters in California than in Texas. That a state is blue in the electoral college doesn't make it blue to the gills.

(Not that every Trump voter is a racist, that wasn't the point.)
