Exemplification Essay: Hate Crimes In The United States

Decent Essays
People are so ignorant! Why would you vote for a man who is only experienced in business deals to control a country? This man is used to making allies and decisions that only benefit him and his partners! To him, we are just an end product. Everyone that voted for him voted for this idea that he can build better relationships for America, but so far we are blink away from a war, we are deporting innocent people and separating families, and we have successfully devalued women, people of color, the LGBTQI community, disabled people, and the lower class. We have guiltlessly allowed our children to take on these hateful values and defended them in all their hate crimes, by saying "It's his parents, We'll talk to them"! No! If the problem is what

    Relationship Between Police Brutality and Race Police officers are the only individuals who are authorized to use force when performing their duties of ensuring a safe environment for community members, as long as that force is both necessary and reasonable.

    For years, Hawaiians have avoided talk of race and hate crimes. That doesn't mean the island state doesn't have a problem. With no known hate groups and a much-trumpeted spirit of aloha or tolerance, few people outside Hawaii realize the state has a racism issue. One reason: The tourism-dependent state barely acknowledges hate crimes. That makes it hard to know how often racial violence is directed at Caucasians, who comprise about 25% of the ethnically diverse state's 1.3 million residents.…

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).…

    Police brutality and racism seem to be consistently connected to one another. This has become a serious issue in which circumstances have ended violently or even fatally when involving police officers and African American citizens.

It is also considerably more likely for the African American victims in these situations to have been unarmed at their time of death.…
