Hate Crimes Fashionably High â Theyâre Just Trending, Right?
The FBI's latest numbers show hate crimes barely budged in 2024 with 11,679 cases reported, just a whisker below 2023's record-high 11,862. Apparently, hate is the party that never ends, with Black Americans, Jewish Americans, and LGBTQ+ folks still on the guest list no one wanted. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt mournfully reminds us, 'We're facing a crisis of hate and extremism that threatens all of us.' Meanwhile, over 16,000 agencies cover 95.1% of the U.S., but still, advocates fear many crimes are ghosted and go unreported. Congress might try to stop the hate train with the bipartisan Improving Reporting to Prevent Hate Actâbecause apparently, hate loves bad PR.

Hate crimes barely dipped, proving hatredâs the kind of party that nobody RSVPs to but everyone crashes. Meanwhile, Congress preps a bill because âIf you canât stop the hate, at least make better notes on it,â is the new national motto.
Apparently, hate crimes are like that annoying relativeâyou know theyâre coming every year, and nobodyâs ready, but we keep pretending itâs a blip.
If hate crimes were a Netflix series, weâd be in Season 100 with zero plot twists and the same tired villains. Stream and scream included.
