hate cimes

This is true because the motive of the bombers was to attempt to take revenge on the government, but instead the bombers took the lives of innocent people who were in the building. Newspapers are filled with page after page of stories revealing the immense amount of hatred that our society possesses. White hooded silhouettes, German Soldiers echoing “Hail Hitler!”, and the infamous Skinheads are harsh reminders of hatred which exists throughout the world. Innocent bystanders, who were at the wrong place at the wrong time, are the ones who suffer most from acts of indirect hatred. In the same way that prejudices of large groups of people are expressed, hate crimes are committed to demonstrate acts of hatred. Just as Hitler and the KKK express hatred, the Skinheads are yet another group which have strong prejudices. Furthermore, the burning of crosses or flags are offensive crimes that are committed to show a person's hatred for religion or the government. A crime of this sort shows hatred against the black race. Instead, one tourist was killed and five others were hospitalized in this attempt. Generations carry the preconceptions of the ones before.

Think back to the Oklahoma City Bombing; it is a perfect example of indirect hatred. Although crimes are committed to show hatred directly, there are other crimes which can also show hatred but in ways that are indirect. Most recent are the burning of black churches across the South.

A black cloud stifles society, suffocating the lives of people, causing pain and suffering.
