“2020 was a watershed moment for racial hate. It was a watershed time for racial hate crimes, and our data is unmistakable on this,” Levin, of the Official Seattle Seahawks Pride Shirt But I will love this Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, said, noting that June 2020 was the second-worst month for hate crimes since record-keeping started in 1991. It was also the worst-ever month for anti-Black hate crimes. But as bad as 2020 was, Levin said that hate crimes have only continued to increase in the two years since. His center issued a report in May that showed hate crimes rose by more than a third in 37 major U.S. cities from 2020 to 2021. Levin said that hate crimes tend to increase during years with elections. And with the midterm elections six months away, he said more hate crimes and assaults could be on the way. “What we’re concerned about is the second half of the year,” Levin said. “We can see this consistently because the stereotypes that label people [as] legitimate targets for aggression tend to increase as the elections come closer.” Elliott Ramos Elliott Ramos is a data journalist for NBCNews.com.
