Hate Crime Up 6 Percent

The FBI reported this last Monday that hate crime was up 6% in 2006 in the United States. What accounts for more than half of these hate crimes is racial prejudice.

There were 7,772 criminal instances of hate crime across the nation as reported by police. Most of these victims or property crimes are because of racial bias, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin and disabilities such as physical or mental.

The tree and noose incidents of Jena, Louisiana were not even a part of this national study. But the Jena incidents as well as other 'noose' incidents around the country have been a reason for civil rights protests.

The Rev. Al Sharpton says, "The FBI report confirms what we have been saying for many months about the severe increase in hate crimes." Sharpton continues to say, "What is not reported , however, is the lack of prosecution and serious investigation by the Justice Department to counter this increase in hate crime."
