"Get Out": Black Families Harassed In Their Homes, ProPublica
"Get Out:' Black Families Harassed In Their Own Homes.' ProPublica, our Documenting Hate database shows that the terrorizing of people where they live is alive and well decades after the civil rights movement. Jan. 7, 2019.
In Delano, Minnesota, a black family’s home was broken into in March 2017 and a warning was spray-painted on the walls: “Get out.” The vandals left a note, too: “Next time it’s going to be fire.” In Athens, Tennessee, the white mother of young biracial children alleged that she’d been harassed verbally by a neighbor for a year.

Jeannine Bell, a lawyer and author of “Hate Thy Neighbor: Move-In Violence and the Persistence of Racial Segregation in American Housing,” said no corner of the country has any claim of immunity from the problem."Many of these incidents go unreported. A lot of times, the people that are targeted don’t even know that this is a crime,” Bell said.
More than 300 entries were reports of harassment or menacing at people’s homes, targeting people of a variety of races and religions. The most frequent victims were African Americans. Indeed, African Americans are the most frequently victimized group nationally for hate crimes, according to data from the FBI.. -MORE...
