Hate Crimes
Why aren’t I surprise that blacks are in the highest group with
respect to hate crimes? Throughout
history there has been ongoing cycle of hate crimes involving African American my
dates back to the Civil War where
Confederate Soldiers were killed in the defense of slavery and once they lost
the war they developed a hatred toward blacks. This is also the case during the
Civil Rights Era where Jim Crowe Law ruled in many southern states. This created a vicious cycle of
discrimination and hatred that was passed down from generation to generation (Banks. C page 78)
This hatred extends into politics arena the conservative
movement which has expressed dissatisfaction in the Civil Rights Amendment of
1964 saying that minorities have an even playing field when it comes to
employment, housing and education. Conservatives who ruled in the past believe
that they are losing their country to Liberals who want minority rights,
citizenship for illegal aliens, and same sex marriage.
It’s my belief that Fox News and its conservation views had the
ability to spread hatred propaganda and polarizes it viewers.
