WHY I STARTED THIS BLOG




I am concerned. 

Each year, the FBI puts out a Hate Crime Statistics report, with the definition of a hate crime being a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity."

Between 2014 and 2015: 

  • ·      Anti-Jewish hate crimes rose 9%.


  • ·      Anti-black hate crimes went up by almost 8%.


  • ·      Anti-LGBT hate crimes increased by nearly 5%.


I am Jewish.  My son-in-law is black.  My nephew is gay.  


So, yes, I am concerned. 




    SOCIAL JUSTICE IS A VERB!
