American Renaissance (back when they had the print version, to which I was a subscriber for many years) regularly reported on such cases.
But you didn't read much about them elsewhere...
During the prez election of 2016 at one of the college campi in my hometown of La Crosse, Wisc one unknown person committed the horrible, hate crime of writing Trump For President in chalk on the sidewalks of the campus, UW-La Crosse.
Because there are black students enrolled at the college, it was automatically assumed that it was directed at them. There's absolutely no chance that the person who put the chalk down might just be someone who liked Trump and his country. Oh no, he or she was obviously a terrible HATER!!! who should be exposed and punished.
So far, they either haven't caught the chalker or they found out it was a hoax and dropped the investigation, because I haven't heard a word about the incident since shortly after it happened. My money is on a hoax.
