Different Types Of Hate Crimes
Hate. We all say hate all the time. For example, if you having an argument with your friend, you might say, “I hate you!” Do you mean it? No, you say it because you are mad. Also, if you are forced to do something, you might say, “I hate that.” Even worse, there are hate crimes because of someone’s color, religion or disability. The FBI statistics Report about hate crimes stated 53.6% were racial, 18.2% were religious, and 11.4% were against the disabled. These types of crimes have been going on for years.

    (www.sparknotes.com) A few moments later there was a loud crack and Martin flung to the wall. He had been shot in the head and neck, then he died at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Memphis. “The alleged assassin, James Earl Ray, was apprehended a month later in Heathrow Airport in London. He confessed to the killing, but retracted his confession after he had been imprisoned. There is much speculation that the FBI was involved in King's death.Upon news of the assassination, riots erupted nation-wide. President Johnson declared 7 April a national day of mourning–but mourning in many places took the form of violence and arson. The number of riots totaled 168; the number of arrests, 3000; the number of injuries, over 20,000; and the number of soldiers called in to restore order, 55,000.”…

    Victims In A Hate Crime Analysis

    Who are the victims in a hate crime? Victimization does not end with the primary person that was attacked. The Laramie Project demonstrated how the entire community, and eventually the nation, of a little town in Wyoming was affected by the death of 22 year old Matthew Shepard in October, 1998. Secondary victims, who do not bear the physical pain, but endure the after effects and emotional pain, included Matthew’s parents, Deputy Sheriff Reggie Fluty (who was called to the crime scene and tended to Matthew), and Doctor Cantway (who treated both Matthew and one of his attackers, Aaron McKinney) (Karmen, 2013). The effects of this hate crime saturated a society and called more than morals into question. Incidents like these force humanity to look at itself and criticize its core beliefs. Laramie’s motto of “Live and Let Live” applied to most…

    Civil Rights Movement Success

    On the 25th of March 1965, Martin Luther King led thousands of non violent demonstrators, both black and white, to the steps of the capitol in Montgomery after a five day trek from Selma. The marchers, who were a coalition of the SNCC, SCLC and many others, were fighting for equal voting rights. As the marchers went towards Montgomery, they were stopped at the Pettus Bridge by a police blockade, led by a strong and violent racist sheriff called Jim Clark. Fifty of the marchers were hospitalised after the police decided to use tear gas, whips and clubs against them. The media dubbed this ‘Bloody Sunday’ and it got great national attention. An outcry from non racist American citizens gained the Civil Rights Movement great sympathy, and it was the catalyst for pushing through the Voting Rights act of 1965 through. This Voting Rights Act allowed southern blacks to vote, and all literacy tests, poll taxes and other requirements which thinned the number of blacks to vote, were made…

    Racial Hate Crimes Research Paper

    Body Paragraph One Topic Sentence: This paragraph is about racial hate crimes. Racial hate crimes are crimes committed because of somebody's color, or race. In one hate crime, A white-supremacist shot killed nine people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. He was only 21 years old, and had walked into a church and shot African-Americans that had ages range from 27 all the way to 87. He had made sure one person was left alive to tell the story (NewsCurrents). A notorious white-supremacist group called the Ku Klux Klan (or the KKK) has been around since 1865 (Southern Poverty Law Center). According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, “Today, the Center estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members, split among dozens of different - and often warring - organizations that use the Klan name”(SPLC). The final group that is the worst of the bunch is the Racist Skinheads. A skinhead is a person that has short, usually bald hair, black boots, and aggressive. Add racism into that, and you get a short tempered, racist, neo-nazi. According to Southern Poverty Law Center ¨Racist skinheads are among the most dangerous radical-right threats facing law enforcement today. The products of a frequently violent and criminal subculture, these men and women, typically imbued with neo-Nazi beliefs about Jews, blacks, LGBT people and…
