=== 17% Increase in Hate Crimes? (04:39) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:07]  The FBI just issued its hate crimes report for 2017.
[00:00:13]  There were reportedly 7,106 bias incidents, and this was a 17% increase over 2016.
[00:00:22]  This has caused much hand-wringing, and, of course, Donald Trump is to blame.
[00:00:29]  National Public Radio...
[00:00:30]  Newsweek, the San Francisco District Attorney, all said the increase was Mr. Trump's fault.
[00:00:37]  And NAACP said the president has, quote, simply emboldened individuals to be more open and notorious with their racial hatred.
[00:00:47]  The Las Vegas Sun wrote, and I quote, The fact is, the FBI's numbers don't mean much of anything.
[00:01:05]  And even if you took them seriously, you would find that black people are at least twice as likely as white people to commit hate crimes.
[00:01:13]  And they are five times more likely to commit hate crimes against homosexuals.
[00:01:18]  So what's wrong with the numbers?
[00:01:21]  First, the totals aren't even complete.
[00:01:23]  20 million Americans live in places where the police department doesn't ever file a report.
[00:01:29]  The entire state of Hawaii never files.
[00:01:32]  Also, as it happens, 10,000 police departments that never filed before started reporting to the FBI in 2017.
[00:01:41]  Those departments covered 16.5 million people.
[00:01:45]  Do you think maybe that increase in population covered by the 2017 figures contributed to this terrifying 17% increase that everyone wants to blame on President Trump?
[00:01:59]  A lot of places filed a report that says they had no hate crimes, and some of them are big cities.
[00:02:05]  Miami and Las Vegas filed what are called"zero reports." All told, 102 million Americans lived in zero incident jurisdictions.
[00:02:17]  I guess they just never heard of Donald Trump.
[00:02:20]  And hate crime totals bounce around all the time.
[00:02:24]  In 1995, when Bill Clinton was president, they were up 34% over the year before.
[00:02:30]  And was that Bill's fault?
[00:02:32]  In 2001, under W, hate crimes were up 21%.
[00:02:38]  And the fact is, this horrifying total for 2017 of 7,106 is less than the figures each year from 1995 to 2008.
[00:02:52]  Historically, you could claim hate crimes are down.
[00:02:56]  Are you getting the impression these numbers don't mean much?
[00:03:00]  Well, there's worse.
[00:03:01]  Let's compare states with similar populations.
[00:03:04]  Say, Kentucky.
[00:03:06]  And Louisiana, with about 4.5 million people each.
[00:03:10]  Which state do you think had more hate crimes?
[00:03:13]  Louisiana? Wrong.
[00:03:15]  Louisiana had 30 hate crimes, and Kentucky had 432.
[00:03:21]  Kansas and Mississippi have almost the same number of people, but Kansas had 20 times as many hate crimes.
[00:03:29]  Alabama and South Carolina are both southern states.
[00:03:32]  Both have about 5 million people.
[00:03:35]  But South Carolina reported 10 times as many hate crimes as Alabama.
[00:03:40]  Does this make sense?
[00:03:42]  No. Obviously, states and cities have wildly different ways of classifying and reporting hate crimes.
[00:03:51]  A 17% change in one year means almost exactly nothing.
[00:03:56]  But it's another excuse to call Donald Trump a hate monger.
[00:04:01]  Part of the problem is that only suspected hate crimes go into this report.
[00:04:06]  The police think it might have been, in the FBI's words, motivated in whole or in part by bias.
[00:04:15]  Plenty of so-called hate crimes turn out to be hoaxes.
[00:04:19]  If police file a report on what turns out to be a hoax, do they file a retraction later?
[00:04:25]  No. If the figures in the report were for actual convictions, They might mean something, but they're not.

=== Likely Whites vs. Hate Crimes (04:19) ===

[00:04:33]  They're hunches.
[00:04:34]  And that helps explain why different states file such wildly different figures.
[00:04:40]  But there's even worse.
[00:04:43]  The main purpose of the hate crimes report is to take the temperature of American race relations.
[00:04:49]  It is true that as time went on, other biases got tacked on.
[00:04:54]  Now the police are supposed to tell the difference between bias against transgender people and non-gender conforming people.
[00:05:03]  The Obama administration also told police to look for bias crimes against Hindus, Buddhists, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses.
[00:05:12]  I didn't realize there was a problem of bias against Jehovah's Witnesses.
[00:05:16]  But back to race.
[00:05:18]  The certified craziest thing about the report is that it counts Hispanic perpetrators as white.
[00:05:26]  The FBI is supposed to be figuring out who the race haters are, but doesn't distinguish between Hispanics and whites.
[00:05:34]  This is formal government policy.
[00:05:37]  You see this guy?
[00:05:39]  His name is Gustavo Cruz, and he is wanted by the FBI.
[00:05:44]  The FBI says he's white.
[00:05:46]  They know he's Hispanic, but racially, he is officially a white man.
[00:05:51]  Here's another white guy, wanted by the police.
[00:05:54]  Looks just like your great-grandfather who came over from Ireland, doesn't he?
[00:05:57]  And here's another fine white man the FBI wants you to be on the lookout for.
[00:06:02]  And so, if one of these fellas commits a hate crime, the FBI puts him down as a white man.
[00:06:09]  It's crazy, but that's what they do.
[00:06:12]  And so, when the New York Times tells you that fully 51% of the hate criminals in 2017 were white men, how many of them actually look like these guys?
[00:06:24]  They're officially white too.
[00:06:26]  And did you know that Arabs and Middle Easterners are officially white also?
[00:06:31]  The FBI says anti-Semitic hate crimes are on a shocking rise.
[00:06:37]  Might some of those so-called white anti-Semites look more like Yasser Arafat than George Bush?
[00:06:44]  So, how many white hate criminals aren't even white?
[00:06:50]  25%?
[00:06:51]  50%?
[00:06:52]  Nobody knows.
[00:06:54]  But let's assume they're all blonde and blue-eyed.
[00:06:58]  If whites are 62% of the population but commit 50.7% of the hate crimes, and blacks are 13% of the population and commit 21% of the hate crimes, simple math tells you that blacks are twice as likely as whites to be hate criminals,
[00:07:16]  even with the figures for whites inflated by including Hispanics and Arabs.
[00:07:23]  Most hate crimes are what's called intimidation.
[00:07:26]  The perp said something nasty.
[00:07:28]  But when it comes to physical attacks, blacks are 2.4 times more likely than whites to be hate criminals.
[00:07:35]  There were 15 reported cases of racially motivated murder in 2017.
[00:07:42]  Blacks were 5.5 times more likely than whites to be the killer.
[00:07:48]  Blacks were also four times more likely than whites, well, whites so-called, to commit anti-homosexual crimes and five times more likely to commit gender identity crimes, of which there were a reported 131.
[00:08:04]  Needless to say, the people yelling about Donald Trump and moaning about the 17% increase are not going to tell you any of this.
[00:08:13]  But you'll be glad to know that Hindus, atheists, And Jehovah's Witnesses appear to be safe from black bias.
[00:08:21]  Blacks didn't commit a single one of the 36 hate crimes reported against these groups.
[00:08:28]  Well, I hope I've given you some idea how nutty and useless this FBI report is.
[00:08:36]  A lot of baloney comes out of Washington.
[00:08:39]  But rarely is the baloney sliced so thick or piled so high as in this annual hate crimes report.
