520 |a This article addresses hate crime against African Americans in the United States. The author looks at the data that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has gathered from 1990 to 1996 regarding hate crime against African Americans. Based on Uniform Crime Report (UCR) data on hate crimes, African Americans are most often the victims of race-motivated crimes. The data reflect that from 1992 to 1996 there has been a 52% increase in the number of hate crimes reported against African Americans. Addressed in this article are African American hate crime victimization trends since the passage of the Hate Crime Statistics Act of 1990, the factors that contribute to hate crimes against African Americans, and some of the recommendations that have been put forth for dealing with this growing problem. The study concludes that there is a climate of increasing intolerance, and a growing acceptability of racial prejudice in the United States.
