The worlds" biggest enemy today is the word "hate" and the people who use the term. When speaking of the harsh word, "hate", one speaks of how we hate different things others do such as what religion one practices, what race another is, the sexual preferences another likes, if one is disabled in any way, or just the way another looks. These things are why the world has very little peace with in it. These things are why the United States" crime rate is so high. Hate causes people to do dumb and violent things. Crime in any way, shape, or form is violence to the point that people get hurt physically and/or mentally. Violence like this only causes others to retaliate and the next thing one knows it is an all out war. Hate crimes are a big problem in the world, but in the United States, it is to my opinion to be the worst.
How bad is hate crime in America? Well, the answer stands in the FBI reports and other agencies across the country. In the United States alone, in 1994 there were 5,853 hate crimes that were documented (www.fbi.gov/ucr/hatecm.html). Just in Texas in the year of 1995, there were over 300 hate crimes that were reported to different agencies (www.adl.org/presrele/hatecr_51/2604_51.html). The total for the United States at the same time in 1995 was 7,947, up by 2,095 from a whole year ago (www.fbi.gov/ucr/hatecrm.html). That alone is not good. Think about it, up by over 2,000 more crimes within a year. If we broke it down into some categories like by race, then the anti - white incidents are at 6,706 total; in religion, anti - Jewish is at 1,500: and in the sexual orientation, anti - male homosexuality is at 1,256 in the year of 1996 (www.civilrights.org/lcef/hcpc/stats/table4a.html). Peace will probably not even exists anymore. The strong country we are today will soon turn into the weakest country ever.
What types of hate crimes are begin committed in the world today? All types of crime like crimes against people of race, religion, people who are gay, lesbians you name it, then it is being done.
