The National Institute of Justice Indicates that Federal systems capture 1 in 31 hate crimes and hate crimes are seriously under reported. Using Research to Improve Hate Crime Reporting and Identification. The problem has become so pervasive that one must wonder if there is a real commitment to tackle these issues and protect the integrity of some of our local institutions. The good news is that eventually things will be corrected because others in society have experienced similar things and that is going to lead to major cultural changes we now find when we poll those under the age of 30.
Let me give you a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes. Local Muslim family (switch with any race or religion in a highly diverse society.) are targeted for hate because people want to violently and socially push them out of their ancestral land. More than 100+ are aware of the hate crimes that include multiple incidents of intended, widely spread hate narratives, and implied and attempted violence. Such behaviors included screaming out names to one of the parents in front of kids, staring children down in public, spreading rumors, targeting for intimidation, rejection of jobs, stalking, online hate behaviors, human rights violations, and even actualized attempts at violence. Nearly all of the incidents were documented and witnessed but quickly discarded and protected by corrupted hate group supporters.
Once the incidents were reported the victims were again targeted for additional violent hate and human rights violations. The goal is to protect corruption and the inner Good Old Boy network (i.e. Ethnic Clan). Others came forward and complained about corruption and human/civil rights violations and they were directly retaliated against as well. Their complaints were public and recorded but that made little difference in the decision-making of those who were supposed to be protecting the ultimate stakeholders of society. i.e. the public. In some ways the crimes are ongoing due to lack of account and corruption of misbehaviors....
One would say for sure that in a modern nation and society, we would hold the perpetrators to account and we would correct such situations. However, that isn't always the case. The bias is so deeply embedded that there is a general refusal to protect targeted populations (switch with any race or religion in a highly diverse society). One would say that the rights of such individuals do not exist and are discounted to encourage the political, racial, and religious preferences of the perpetrators and supporters. The dangers to the integrity of one's oaths and social contracts are becoming increasingly worthy of question.
(There is a point where protecting our essential freedoms will be more important than protecting violent hate. When we make that switch, we know that we are restoring justice to the area and integrity to the system in a way in which it will encourage economic and social thriving. Those corrupted souls that protect such hate without putting in place new protections or holding the initiators accountable have low moral conscious and little respect for our long earned freedoms or the community they pretend to serve.)
While this is a hypothetical example we do know that such behaviors do sometimes happen and when corruption is mixed with such crimes the laws are sort of thrown out the window. Perpetrators can in the future target and misuse authority simply because backstops and intentional underreporting are culturally encourage to protect some at the expense of others. As we move forward in our national development we will have to come to grips with the risks of such extreme bias and its institutional and human capital implications. This is why I always advocated for tolerance, living by one's oath, protecting human/civil rights, creating strong supported systems and ensuring that we stand by our Constitution (the things we all agree on).
Many people are doing the right thing but some are doing the wrong thing and protecting those wrong things no matter what the long-term implications of doing so are for the nation and society (Notice how they sold out their nation and people by not living by these shared contracts and values until it was in their own self interest to do so.) Those who protect those behaviors are not qualified to be in positions of authority and it is up to the youth (and others) to vote them out and change the cultural trajectory of unAmerican values in our society. We owe it to our children, grandchildren, and ourselves to at least attempt to protect their futures. Where one system fails a more organic system can correct through our shared commitment to societal health. The beauty of democracy is that they can do this through their vote.
*This hypothetical example is for illustrative purposes. The insight one might gain is the long-term risks of protecting violent hate and how that can impact institutional trust and human capital development. As you can tell I'm an advocate for the strongest most healthy nation we can create so our free and democratic principles continue to resonate with each generation and the world at large. Freedom of speech, religion or general safety should not be ignored. There is no political partisanship in that. The questions being what do you believe and who will you vote for or follow? This is your part of the conversation that defines you as an individual and our society in many ways.
I have used different religions and races to sort of highlight the issues universally to many different types of people. As I go forward with this discussion I will switch them up because in a highly diverse society like ours, we all have rights to worship, live, and be who we were meant to be no matter who agrees or disagrees. It is inherent in our doctrines and in human existence.
