Last week Breitbart announced planned legal action against @slpng_giants. In their statement, they believe SG made false claims about their content. I thought I'd take another dive into the Breitbart comment section to see how their content inspires and motivates hate. 
The article seen here was published yesterday (10/31) and it looks to have been an effective dog-whistle. In total, I documented nearly 100 comments from this article that would be classified as "targeted harassment" or "threatening content" according to @disqus TOS.
In Breitbart articles that target @CNN, it's common to find the same kind of rhetoric that motivated Cesar Sayoc to send more than a dozen pipe bombs, three of which were intended for CNN.
In January, after CNN received threats from a would-be mass shooter, Breitbart blamed CNN for producing "fake news". The comments beneath the article were largely violent in nature.
In articles where Don Lemon is the target, there is a clear anti-black sentiment. This article was published in May of this year.
In fact, whenever there is an African American person featured negatively in a Breitbart article, anti-black comments are found in abundance.

Here are some other articles that did not receive dedicated threads.
I'm writing this thread to show that the article from 10/31 is not an outlier. A pattern of anti-black and violent rhetoric has existed on Breitbart and within their community for years. As I've said, comments like these don't magically appear on sites with innocuous content.
In fact, former Breitbart writer Ben Shapiro even noted the rise of white supremacist themed comments.

Breitbart no longer needs a "Black Crime" tag to disparage the African American community. Simple dog-whistles are enough to garner the necessary reaction from the audience they've cultivated.
This is why @slpng_giants exists and why over 4,000 advertisers have blocked Breitbart from their ad campaigns. Breitbart has a right to promote the ideals that drive traffic to their site just as companies have a right to choose where they advertise.
