(Jewish Group) Racism and anti-Semitism surged in corners of the Web after Trump's election, analysi

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Racist and anti-Semitic content has surged on shadowy social media platforms -- spiking around President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day and the "Unite the Right Rally" in Charlottesville, Virginia -- spreading hate speech and extremist views to mainstream audiences, according to an analysis published this week.

The findings, from a newly formed group of scientists named the Network Contagion Research Institute who studied hundreds of millions of social media messages, bolster a growing body of evidence about how extremist speech online can be fueled by real-world events.

The researchers found the use of the word "Jew" and a derogatory term for Jewish people nearly doubled on the "Politically Incorrect" discussion group on 4chan, an anonymous online messaging board, between July 2016 and January 2018. The use of a racial slur referring to African Americans grew by more than 30 percent in the same period.

Gab.ai, a social media site modeled on Twitter but with fewer restrictions on speech, saw even more dramatic increases since the site began operating in August 2016. The use of the term "white," which often occurred in connection with white-supremacist themes, also surged on both platforms.

This is filed under "no shit, Sherlock!", but it is still important to see actual numbers and stats. Of course, this makes me doubly sad and mad because there is a schism between Jews and African-Americans, both inside and outside. It also pisses me off how many JEWS ignore shit like this and "busy themselves" with concern about others and never seem to have or show concern for their own! Racism and anti-Semitism are BOTH forms of BIGOTRY and should be treated as such and with EQUAL importance when they present themselves. While anti-Black racism is definitely more visible and present, than anti-Semitism often is, when anti-Semitism presents, it should be treated with the same revulsion and passion to halt it as one does with racism (or others forms of oppression).
