Attorney General Loretta Lynch says hate crimes tear at the fabric of American communities and are a stain on our “nation’s very soul.”
Lynch spoke Monday at a mosque in Virginia amid a large spike in hate crimes targeting Muslims.
Recently released FBI statistics show a 67 percent surge in hate crimes against Muslims in 2015, the highest total since the year of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Lynch told the audience that the “sobering” increase in violence should alarm all Americans.
In an apparent reference to the incoming administration of President-Elect Donald Trump, Lynch said she recognized people’s concerns that the progress the government has made in protecting civil rights could be rolled back.

That is very true, and racial divide and conquer strategy trickling from the top is another black stain on the American soul.
Who asked this race baiter for her libelous claims? This whole “hate crimes” hoax was created by the Obama administration as their method to divide and conquer. The mere fact that they call it a “hate” crime, in it of itself, fans the flames of racial tension where there weren’t any before. It was used very successfully to beat down the gullible white man, by their Thought Police, and paint them as evil white bigoted racists. It’s too bad Obama/Witholder’s time has run out and they couldn’t get a Reparations Bill passed. That, would of been a complete victory against the dumb stupid gullible taxpaying white folks.
