racism



Still Racism
From 1492 to now
Hate Crime is a kind of various crimes which motivated by hostility to victim as a member of a group (as one based on color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation).
The FBI reported in WASHINGTON (oct.16,2006) that Hate Crimes in the United States dropped last year by 6 percent, the FBI reported Monday, although violence against people based on their race accounted more than half of the reported incidents.(nearly55 percent)

New appearances
It could be said that Hate crime was rooted from 1492, when Columbs entered to strange land and saw the Indians and enslaved them because of questing gold and the other valuable things in this area and also their simple and elementary culture .This process was expended by enslaving black people in seventeen century, the process we call Racism .enslaving let European to think they are belong to higher race, religion and color! So they call themselves white and the other natives noun white (!) black! Today but we see another kind of victims: Seventeen percent were targeted for their religious beliefs, and more than 14 percent for sexual orientation. In addition we face to news and reports that show Hate Violence and rhetoric on the rise against Latinos and prevalence of hate crimes against Homeless is growing up. So it seems hate crimes in USA today are finding new appearance rather than their historical appearances.
Mass opinion about this phenomena
Rising Hate crimes in USA based on minority groups, so this is a serious dangerous for most of the people in this country, because USA is IMMIGRANTS`s COUNTRY and there are a variety of ethnics and minorities on there One in three Americans is Hispanic, African or Asian. This dangerous surely influence on global`s mass opinion about American culture.

undeniable problem
“Of the known offenders, 60-percent are white, and 20 percent are black.”
According to this information from FBI, we could find the prejudice culture`s goal which conducted these Hate Crimes is not based just on ethnic or color! I think social changes in USA (during this century) make new divisions between people like women, homeless and religious, blue-collar labors and etc.
“Hate Crimes in the United States dropped last year by 6 percent” but yet USA faced to this big problem that it could not be denied it.
