Incidents of Hateful Harassment Since Election Day Now Number 701
The day a racial slur was discovered spray-painted on Spokane’s Martin Luther King Jr. Family Outreach Center, dozens of people gathered in solidarity to denounce the act and paint over the red graffiti.Staff at the center found the graffiti on the side of the building when they came in to work Tuesday morning. Freda Gandy, the center’s director, said some of the children saw it before heading to school.
“Our kids should not have to see this,” she said. “It’s not OK.”
As I walked home tonight a man on the street decided he didn't like my face. "You think that's funny dirty bitch? I'll spit on you, you dirty bitch. I can smell the Africa on you"
Spokane police are investigating a swastika and message referencing Donald Trump spray-painted on a Mexican family’s home in the Logan Neighborhood. The graffiti, which read, “Can’t stump the Trump, Mexicans,” was reported to police Tuesday morning on a garage. Rosas said she hasn’t been targeted for being Mexican before or experienced racism in Spokane, but said the graffiti scared her. “We’re afraid they’re going to do something,” she said.
Incidents by type ranked by number of reports include: Anti-immigrant (206), anti-Black (151), anti-LGBT (80), swastika vandalism (60), anti-Muslim (51), and anti-woman (36). We are keeping track of anti-Trump incidents as well, which rose from our last report from 20 to 27.
