"Hate in America"
Carnegie-Knight News21, Arizona State University
More than 2.4 million crimes, whose victims suspect were motivated by hate, were committed across the United States over a four-year-period. "Hate in America" is based on hundreds of interviews and crime victimization data that documents a growing intolerance based on race, religion or sexual orientation. The stories and a 30-minute film document an emerging increase in those targeted in hate crimes by a surge of white supremacists and others who seek to victimize others. Much of this movement now is orchestrated through social media and far right users with millions of followers and whose posts are shared tens of thousands of times. |
