Today, the Lantos Foundation and the Middle East Media Institute (MEMRI) published a report entitled The Hater Next Door: Online Incitement Against Minorities in America. This truly horrifying report examines online hatred and incitement in the United States between November 2018 and February 2019 against minority communities including Jews, People of Color, LGBTQ and others.
The report exposes the vicious reality of online hatred that is thriving within our own borders, fueled by neo-Nazis, white supremacists, racists and fascists that are not only fellow Americans, but are very often members of our own communities. Unlike generations past, these haters next door can easily hide behind fringe websites and online personas while indulging their most vile impulses with the miracle of the modern Internet. This exponential threat is multiplied when the means for further hate and incitement rests neatly at one’s fingertips via their phone or laptop.
“This report shines a very bright light on the hatred that lurks right in own backyard. As a nation, we must confront and expose this evil in order to prevent future tragedies; so many recent mass tragedies, like the mosques in New Zealand or the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, start online well before any shots are taken. By exposing these Haters Next Door, we seek to empower digital first-responders to take timely action to save lives,” said Lantos Foundation President, Katrina Lantos Swett. “We encourage leaders in the media, policy, and technology spaces to join us in recognizing, exposing, and confronting these age old evils in their modern day forms.”
The following research was conducted over four months (November 2018 - February 2019) and it offers an in-depth look into the online incitement by neo-Nazis, white supremacists, separatists, racists, fascists and other groups and individuals of similar worldviews in the United States.
The research examined the following criteria: hatred, demonization, and calls for action in 14 groups, 6 individuals, and 3 social media platforms.

Where’s the beef?
There should be dead minorities everywhere. Not happening. In fact many incidents turn out to be fraudulent.
On top of it they totally ignore the haters on their side. I guess they haven’t learned that you reap what you sow. They have sown hate for decades, and now they are reaping that which they have sown.
The internet is actually a nasty place no matter what your race or creed. Nasty people to attack for the slightest reason.
Fake news designed to instill hatred
RB’s counseling services pro-tip: Instead of getting incited to violence by what other say, instead try minding your own business and growing a thicker skin. Life is tough.
A lot of these White Supremacists and Neo Nazis etc are organized leftist trolls putting evil content on conservative sites to get them banned and conservatives discredited.
Since they are reported almost before they happen, we would certainly know if there was an “epidemic” of white folks killing minorities.
Not sure what a minority is anymore anyway.
If you were to break all groups down into ethnicity (why stop at race?), I have no clue who the majority would be.
No mention of Muslim hate against Jews and other non-Muslims.
No mention of Farrakhan’s spewings.
Victims unite. There’s glory in victimhood. Moral superiority is yours just by “pointing fingers” at all those haters.
Hatred of whites?
Bull
Shit
yet another American Whites Are Evil news report.
If only we had let Obama Democrats and Bush Republicans implement Amnesty and Comprehensive Immigration Reform then the scourge of native white American evil would have come to an end by now. And the world would have become paradise.
Fake news. Phony issue. I’ve never even heard of the lantos foundation.
I HATE Brussels sprouts !!!

These are the creeps who show up at conservative events with misspelled signs and make outlandish comments to the media and the media reports their antics without question.
This 'report' seems to be their effort to break into the 'anti-racism' industry.
There's big money in 'anti-racism'. Just look at the SPLC.

Complete anonymity will do that.
