Texas led the nation in white supremacist propaganda incidents last year, according to a new report from the Anti-Defamation League.
All told, Texas accounted for 527 of the 6,750 incidents tallied by the ADL in 2022 — a 61% increase statewide and a 38% jump nationally since 2021. The total, which hit an all-time high last year, includes the distribution or display of antisemitic, racist or anti-LGBTQ stickers, banners, graffiti, posters and laser projections.
The rise corresponds with a wave of antisemitic and extremist violence that has steadily grown in recent years, driven by white supremacist groups and worldviews that have been increasingly popularized online and in conservative politics. Reported incidents of “explicitly antisemitic propaganda” more than doubled last year, according to the ADL.

I read that Michigan is 4th on the report and ranks 8th for distribution on campuses, which includes K-12. I wouldn't be suprised to find out I have family in that group. I have cut times with several family members because of their view on issues.

If there is a bigger waste of time and energy than being racist, I don't know what it is.
Not so long ago, I had a thought that perhaps - with the advances in DNA research, genetic modification and all that super-scientific stuff, now that we could really see that under the skin we are all the same species - that we'd see the end of racism.
Boy, was I dumb.
