The city agency that fights discrimination saw a massive rise in complaints filed over the past year, new data shows.

The Commission on Human Rights — the watchdog agency tasked with enforcing the city’s human rights law — received 8,330 reports of alleged violations in 2016, compared to 5,296 in 2015, a spike of nearly 60%, according to a report to be released Wednesday.

1. It's getting nasty out here for us brown people

In the past election, signs were posted that said, "Make America White Again" just a few miles from where I live. The man that ran for Congress, that put up the signs came in third place. It's really scary. I personally haven't had any direct problems. But people in general seem unfriendly to me these days. I work in IT in south east TN and it's predominately white in my work place. I'm starting to feel very isolated and alone.
