Flier with Racial Slur and Threats Toward African-Americans Reported in DC
The Southern Poverty Law Center has documented hundreds of racial incidents across the country after Donald Trump's election as president.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Southern Poverty Law Center says the election of Donald Trump has resulted in a huge amount of reported racial intimidation across the country, including one nasty incident in Washington, D.C. recently.
SPLC, which tracks hate groups in the United States, issued a report Tuesday titled, "Ten Days After: Harassment and Intimidation in the Aftermath of the Election." The report lists a number of incidents across the country, including one report out of D.C. where a flier was found referencing Black Lives Matter that read: "We are organizing a new movement to rid our neighborhood of [racial slur]. No more Black Lives Matter! Kill them all."
The report does not provide any additional context to the incident, including exactly where and when it happened.
