Nelson Mandela said “no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion”. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in 2015, 7,121 persons were victims of hate crimes in the USA, most of them were victimized because of their race, their religious beliefs, and their sexual orientation. Even though 7,121 may seem to be a little number, imagine that number yearly with a different person every time, imagine everything worldwide, and to sum up, these are only the registered cases because some victims do not report these types of crimes thanks to the fear of “what might happen if I do that” question.

I think that it is not that hard to love one another and that everyone needs a little push to do so. “We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger, we rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer. And love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside” proclaimed Lin-Manuel Miranda. A better world is possible with hope, respect and love. Hope is the desire of a better future, respect is the fuel that keeps everything moving forward, and love, love is the key to that future long

    One of the biggest issues in America and throughout the world are hate crimes. It is very important that we, American citizens, eliminate hate crimes once and for all just because of the simple fact that if we do not the world would never know peace. On the other hand, there are races that feel that they are more dominate than others only because of their ethnicity. I argue that modern day hate groups are slowly setting America back because of the current Ku Klux Klan members claiming white supremacy, ISIS groups using the internet to appeal to younger people in the United States, and the New Black Panther Party believing blacks should have their own nation.…
