[Peace-discuss] FBI count of "hate crimes," 2016

[David Green]

 I wonder if each of these "robocalls" counts for one instance of a hate crime. In any event, I place zero statistically credible validity or reliability in these data. You're talking about subjective judgments of non-random samples of states of mind, so you're already two degrees of separation away from anything reflective of social reality, no less the political implications of that reality. Southerners want bread on their tables like everyone else.
BTW, southerners have been just as bathed in Zionist hasbara as everyone else, albeit in a Christian context, so I doubt if you can find too many that still think that Jews have tails, since they're obviously portrayed as fighting the good fight against Islamic terrorists.

. . . The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently released its hate-crime statistics for 2016, and the numbers were plain. Of the 6,121 actions deemed crimes of hate and bigotry last year, 307 were perpetrated against Muslims, a 19 percent increase over 2015. Half the hate crimes, 1,739, were targeted at blacks, showing the potency of the nation’s original sin. Bias crimes against white people rose 17 percent, to 720 incidents, a sign of just how violent the nation’s polarization has become.
The 684 anti-Semitic hate crimes were more than the rest of the religiously motivated crimes of bias and bigotry combined.. . .
