Hate crime

something can cause un-informed, accidentally ignorant comments, while flat-out discrimination causes things like hate crimes such as people being beaten up, raped, or murdered. Just in 2015, there have been over 1000 cases of reported hate crimes in the United States alone. Hate crimes are fueled by intolerance that has never been necessary. There have even been laws protecting hate crimes in the past. Governments, I believe, are partially responsible for a part of this intolerance. Gay…

Many believe that the recently passed legislation from Russia in regards to banning LGBT propaganda has both sparked and encouraged LGBT hate crimes. A trend has begun where online videos have gone viral, showcasing men who have been tricked into meeting other men, just to be humiliated by spectators and ridiculed.

35,000 hate crimes go unreported every year and this is for the LGBT communities alone, (LGBT Foundation, 2015). So many hate crimes go unreported because of fear, even though there is a better law in place called; The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Even though it is 2016, people still attack communities for their race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, and disability; and the world has yet to see the seriousness of these crimes. In 1969 The Hate…

These people are targeted because of the difference in their sexuality.

went on until he couldn’t take it anymore. I know someone personally who faces bullying to the point where they have self harmed, developed depression and self hate, and sometimes not attending school because they do not want to deal with it. These people hurt like any other person does. Many people do not care for hate crimes in this spectrum because their parents raised them that way, or their religion tells them otherwise. Many people that go to my school have made remarks on the…

My production group chose to do the documentary that I pitched about the increase in hate crimes and hate groups, specifically anti-Muslim violence, that has occurred over the last few years, particularly in relation to the presidential election. I chose to frame the incident around the specific incident in which a Muslim student was threatened to be lit on fire if she did not remove her hijab because it was the most shocking local incident that has occurred and I thought it would be a…

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart that it’s opposite.’ Children are born innocent, and pure without knowing right from wrong unless taught. Without any predetermined hate for others, it can be concluded that children are taught prejudice. Similarly, children can mimic their parent’s behavior. With…

Sikhs are one of the brown, dark skinned people who have been the targets of anti-Muslim hate crimes. They have been misunderstood because of their beard and turban. In a 2013 survey made by Stanford University and by the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, it was found that 49 percent of Americans think that the religion of Sikhism is a section of Islam. Sikhism and Islam are two separate religions. In this survey it was also concluded that some Americans tend to mix Sikhs and…

So why do people hate one another? Many people think they know the answer for this question but they don’t. People presume it's just who the people are and yes that's partially what it means but not all of it there are many different reasons why people hate one another and they are sometimes very complicated but many people have hatred towards a certain type of people. Many government officials and politicians hate one another based on different ideas. The Republicans hate the Democrats…

“directly influence[d] the incidents of hate crime victimization” through McKinney and Henderson’s observation (Alden & Parker 321). Laramie was a place where people seemed to conform and willing to push out anyone who was unwilling to be another ordinary citizen.

As hate crimes increased so did the need for “hate crime legislation specifically…
