This is the first diary I have ever written. This past week, while working in the stacks of the public library, my co-worker and I were handed a newspaper. "Hope you enjoy it!" exclaimed Patron X.

I did not enjoy it. I threw it in the recycling bin and then washed my hands.

Today, however, I dug it out of the recycling bin and hit the Google.

Dear Patron X: How dare you hand us your hate literature and think we'll enjoy it. How could you give somebody you don't know an anti-Semitic, racist periodical? Do you just assume all white people are open to your vile beliefs? Think again. I hope the director's scolding embarassed you. You should be ashamed.

I seriously cannot believe a person would hand a perfect stranger something like what I'll detail below the magic squiggle. I don't think I'm naive. I know this garbage is out there. I will not link to the websites mentioned in this newspaper; no hits for hate is my motto.
