There is a sickness eating away at the strength of humankind and that sickness is Hate. Daily, throughout the world, men, women, and children are tortured, brutalized, and murdered simply because of their beliefs, their race, their physical state, or their sexuality, and equally guilty as the perpetrators are those among us who remain indifferent and/or silent. When will it stop? Who will stop it? Will YOU?? We have lived long enough in a world where kids are getting shot for the color of their skin...where homosexuals have to become alert to every sound they hear around them just incase some bigot may try to hurt them...where people can't get a job because of the who they are or where they come from and where stereotypes rule over actual knowledge. If we want a future, we need to take a stand. We and I need you to help stop hate. Protest, write congress there sevral things you the person can do to make a change!

Hate crimes involve a higher level of assaults against persons than crimes generally.
45% to 55% of bias crimes are personal assaults, whereas only 10% of all crimes involve assault.
Hate crimes are more violent than crimes generally.
Assaults causing physical injury occur in 74% of bias crimes, versus 29% of non-bias crimes.
Attacks are often preceded by a series of confrontations and incidents that escalate in severity.
Hate crimes are more likely than other criminal activity to be committed by groups of perpetrators.
Most crimes against persons are committed by someone the victim knows; hate crimes, however, are more likely to be committed by strangers.

Hate Crime = Thought Crime

Some of the worst things are done with the best intentions.

In fact I do act what I preach. I go to many sit-ins and I often protest for human rights. I'm an active member in trying to make a change in todays society. I don't just type something and then sit on my --- and do nothing about it except complain I do my best in trying to make a change in are society.

I love everyone in the world as fellow human beings.

Hmm... most crimes are crimes of hate. I don't think that a "hate crime" deserves any different label than a "crime in general"; none of them should be committed, whether they are due to skin color, lack of money, or any other factor.

A crime is a crime, a horrible thing.

My life is how I make it out to be. I plan to be professional in life, and on the computer, as I grow up. I won't probably make a political different in governments, though.
