Compared to 49.3 percent of total victims being targeted because of their race and of that 49.3 percent, 66.5 percent of the victims were targeted because they were black.

So that's wrong. Either the author was being disingenuous, or he's lazy.

I'm not sure what the point of including hate crime stats in the article was, other than basically saying, "Look! White men hate Jews even more than they do Muslims!" (since the average hate crime perpetrator is a white man), but good grief, if an article is going to deliberately misrepresent stats, the author should do a better job hiding it than this one did.
Where did the 'Founder Muslims' settle?

You know the one's who arrived on the Mayflower or soon thereafter?

Or did Obama's America begin post Lincoln?
