The FBI reported yesterday that there were 7,106 single-bias incidents involving 8,493 victims in 2017. Just more than 59% of those victims were targeted because of their race, ethnicity or ancestry.

When people think of racism like this, they think about some far-off time in some far-off land.

But this is today, in South Los Angeles, on Crenshaw. These are swastikas on Black faces.
