Black children being told by classmates to sit in the back of school buses. Muslims called terrorist and told to go back to your country with ISIS. Swastikas drawn on a synagogue, schools, cars and driveways. A gay man being beaten by an assailant who said the president says we can kill all you faggots now. Plus Trump Nation and Whites Only spray-painted on a church attended largely by immigrants.

Those are some of the nearly 900 hate incidents across the U.S. in the 10 days immediately following President-elect Donald Trumps surprise victory earlier this month, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Blacks, immigrants, Jews, Muslims, LGBTQ people, women and other groups were all targeted, according to the report, which attributes this outbreak of hate to Trumps win.
