Is America In the Middle of a Hate Crime Crisis?
Analysis: Hate crimes have risen with crime rate, but are well below historic highs
America is facing a serious increase in hate crimes, according to multiple prominent figures; data from the FBI show that, while this is true, the full story is more complicated than it may seem.
In the wake of actor Jussie Smollett’s arrest for the alleged perpetration of a fake hate crime, political and media figures—many of whom were quick to support Smollett’s story—have sought to emphasize that commentators should not downplay the real rise of hate crimes in America.

Nudged that way.
Crisis? Only in the media.
Always been criminal jerks. Always will be.
Wouldn't be an issue if we had Had the Horse Sense not to criminalize Emotions rather than crimres.

Somebody let me know when they define a "Love Crime" so I can have something to benchmark these data against.

The "hate crime" crisis is totally phony. For one thing, there were no crimes classified as "hate crimes" until a few years ago.
Many police departments didn't start reporting on them until recently.
Now libs all over the country are poring over crimes and pronouncing them "hate crimes." And some are completely trivial. You frowned at some minority at the grocery store. You committed a "hate crime."
The unfortunate fact for liberals is that the great majority of "hate crimes" are committed by members of their pet groups...blacks and Hispanics.
