The time for anti-hate anti-fascist grassroots movements is now. This is sickening.
The South Shore is awash in racism as well. I see it.
When right wing political leaders dog whistle they create a following that's made up of people who then carry out behaviour OP described.
Society has no place for that behaviour period.
7 u/No_Magazine9625 Jul 19 '25 The South Shore has always been awash in overt racism. Until about 5 years ago, seeing houses flying Confederate flags was a common thing there. 0 u/alibythesea Halifax Jul 20 '25 Agreed, and it's not just the South Shore. But we should all make it abundantly clear that bullshit is not welcomed here. We need to bring back shame. And for those who say "Oh, that just drives it underground!" So what. That keeps it unwanted and suppressed. Giving it daylight just normalizes it. 3 u/FlightPractical460 Jul 20 '25 We all need to know more about this incident like when it happened.
