So because reality doesn’t gibe with the “Islamophobia” narrative, now they’re going to create bogus statistics. They are encouraging anyone to report anything — even a dirty look, I guess. And it won’t matter if it’s not legit; they’ll just added to a bogus number. Incredible.
ProPublica is an uber-left non-profit that once threatened advertisers and payment services that were found on my site. They’re going to document “hate crimes”? That’s like Goebbels documenting “anti-Nazi” incidents.

“Bangor Daily News joins reporting effort to document hate crimes,” by Darren Fishell, BDN, February 1, 2018:
The Bangor Daily News has joined a nationwide effort led by the nonprofit newsroom ProPublica to document hate crimes, an effort that seeks to address the lack of national data on the proliferation of hate crimes in communities across the country.
Through ProPublica’s Documenting Hate project, the Bangor Daily News will be better equipped to document local incidents of racism and racial bias. The BDN is joining a coalition of 140 news organizations across the country that have signed onto the effort.
The project allows readers to submit stories of hate crimes and discrimination through the BDN’s website, which will aid national and local reporting on the topic. The incidents won’t be shared outside of the coalition of news organizations, nonprofit organizations and universities without permission from the submitter.
Participation in the project will allow the BDN to report on incidents of hate that might otherwise go unnoticed and unreported, and how schools, businesses and governments respond. A Bureau of Justice Statistics report found last year that roughly half of hate crimes are never reported to the police. In a year of reporting on hate crimes, ProPublica also found that local law enforcement vary greatly in how they identify and report hate crimes.
In Maine, it’s impossible to know the full scope of hate-fueled incidents. The BDN in 2016 found that a law requiring schools to report hate crimes and incidents of bias resulted in inconsistent tracking of incidents and no penalties for schools that did not comply.
The recent saga of “ethno-nationalist” Tom Kawczynski, the former town manager in Jackman who was fired after his racist remarks on social media and his online effort to create a “white homeland” in Maine garnered national attention, demonstrated that people with openly hateful ideologies can get by the hiring committee of a local government.
We know there are more of these stories out there, which deserve to be told and, at the very least, counted.

Alrighty then, make a list of each group that is victim of hate crimes, Jews, muslims, Christians, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Conservatives, leftists, everyone who has ever filed a report on being the victim of a hate crime. Then, intrepid investigative journalists, write them up as to what they are, what effect they had, and if they were legitimate or fake. You want to play with statistics, that can be done.

Hate crimes against Jews in the U.S. = 54%
Hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. = 24.5%

There is no such thing as hate crimes against f’ing muslums because it is called resistance.

Perhaps if these migrants/”refugees” behaved like civilised people there would be no need for campaigns like this. If there are “hate” crimes, it’s hardly surprising, given the provocation that the indigenous people have to endure, seeing their countries overrun and ruined by people who are little better than savages.
Take the people of the once-peaceful port of Calais, who just yesterday had the spectacle of gangs of Afghans and Eritreans in a mass brawl, with five shootings. Why would they not react to these savages?
But the bad news is mostly for Britain, since they all are in Calais waiting for a chance to cross the Channel and enter Britain illegally. Unfortunately, some will make it, and although the vast majority of the British say: “Not needed, not wanted, not welcome”, the powerful PC/multikulti/diversity brigade will fight their deportation if they can find a way in. It’s a “lose lose” situation for the British people.

Rosie. Anyone living in the UK had best not speak the truth. If some moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) becomes offended … I cannot believe that “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another” is actually codified. Simply putting up a sign at a convenience store that says, “We Don’t Fund Terrorists” gets their liquor license revoked.

You are right. Few dare because of the likely consequences. Whatever happened to free speech??

Even in the United States of America, where it is constitutionally guaranteed … It (free speech) doesn’t exist. Recent California case of FakeBook postings, resulted in the arrest and conviction of some human being that didn’t like moslems (the vilest of ALL creatures).

“cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another”
Isn’t that EXACTLY what these invading savages are imposing on the citizens of the UK. I expect to read that the courts are swamped with complaints of being offended by those on the receiving end of annoyance, inconvenience and needless anxiety perpetrated by the invading savages.

Yes, Cai. Simply seeing a moslem, on the street, causes me great annoyance. All moslems, therefore, are guilty of hate crimes.

Agree. And the pro-jihadi pope wants xians to accept more such “immigrants” https://tinyurl.com/ydy9xkxs
They are more like savages not “poor” refugees or real immigrants.

Real immigrants do not bring their hate filled bigotry and commit crimes and subversive acts to turn the new country into the old country that he came from that follows the same hate filled bigotry.
Those that do are invaders.

Hoaxes by the moslems are, according to libturds, TRUTH

OK, since even our own corrupt fbi publishes statistics of the jews being the single group with the most crimes against it, can we just flood their site with all the stories of hate crimes against Jewish people?!! (I know, that would be a ‘hate crime’ by Me, against Bangor daily news, lol! )

Did you know that 54% of hate crimes in the United States are against Jews, while barely over 24% are committed against Muslims?

Yet the mainstream liberal media would have Americans think the exact opposite.

You could try reporting it. Though that might be classed as a hate crime against those you accuse.

The MSM is no longer a news or entertainment entity. It’s a leftist propaganda machine. I can’t tell you how much ads I see in “family” magazines that show sodomites, lesbians, Negress and white male dating couples – all happy, of course.
The social media is the same way. Anything that BLOTS OUT the white male is OK to them. Even though it is the white male that created all of this for them. But they turn around and STAB US in the back.
No gratitude from these DEVILS!

And just how will they define “hate crimes”? Will they mention the increase in attacks on Jews? How about the censorship of anybody to the right of Hillary Clinton? Will they expose the fake “hate crimes” that Muslim opportunists use to get money and political power for themselves? Will they include “hate crimes” committed on Muslims by other Muslims? Will they even mention “hate crimes” committed by Muslims on non-Muslims? This could get very interesting if there’s anybody in this system who really wants to be honest about “hate crimes”.
