Terror Attacks And Hate Crimes

Decent Essays
Terror attacks are normally followed by an increased number of hate crimes. Terrorists have a number of goals I assume, including creating chaos, fear and every other negative emotions.

That is why it's unbelievable that other people who think themselves better than terrorists are creating the same emotions.

The one thing I have learned is that I can't control or change anybody but myself, and am sure this applies to all of us. So, hate crimes do nothing to make the world safer, in fact, they just worsen the situation for all of us. Being human is that we see each other as human beings. Is it a wonder then that the gap between a human being and being human is just increasing?

Wish you all a super Sunday and hope you are working hard on

In Brent Staples’ essay “Just Walk on by: Black Men and Public Space,” he argues that black men are victimized because of society's perception of them.

    Prejudices may be created by stereotypes, the process of scapegoating, one’s need for status and power, or the presence of bias in much of American culture. Hate crimes themselves may be for the thrill of the offender, to send a message to members of a particular group, or in defense of one’s own well being which they believe is threatened by ―outsiders‖. Hate crimes have many effects. Victims often suffer psychological trauma from the attacks. The affected community as a whole may feel unsafe after a hate crime occurs and the social progress that has taken place in brining groups together may be undone.

    During the 1900s, many African American people emerged in the public eye such as Martin Luther King, Jr and Malcolm X, who continued to fight for the equality of black people. In 2008, when Senator Barack Obama was the first black male to be elected to be the president of the United States, some people credit this time in history as the day racism died. They believe if Americans can elect a black person to run our country, racism against black people must be something of the past (Brunners, 2015). Almost immediately after becoming the president-elect, he started receiving threats and hate mail, purely because of the color of his skin (Neiwert, 2016).…

    Hate Crime Theories

    In the ten days following the 2016 United States presidential election, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a prominent civil rights and legal advocacy organization, recorded almost 900 incidents of hate-motivated harassment, intimidation, or violence in the United States. This “outbreak of hate” was primarily directed toward ethnic, racial and religious minorities, and perpetrators often invoked President-elect Donald Trump’s name during their assaults. These incidents were self-reported, thus it is likely that they represent only a small portion of all election-related hate crimes that occurred in the immediate aftermath of November 8, 2016. So what is a hate crime, why were there so many after the election, and what motivates people to act in such a cruel and seemingly irrational way? Hate crime is generally classified as an act of violence where the perpetrator targets the victim for belonging to a…
