Black residents in L.A. County, who account for approximately 9% of the population, were disproportionately targeted in hate crimes last year, according to a report released by the county’s Commission on Human Relations. 

Of the racial hate crimes recorded, half targeted Black individuals, with a record 320 incidents—a troubling 8% increase from 2022.

“This is deeply concerning,” said Supervisor Holly Mitchell, the only Black woman on the Board of Supervisors. She voiced apprehension about the worsening trend, adding, “I am deeply concerned that the next report will be even worse. 

The polarization of all things related to ‘wokeness’ or ‘DEI’ is front and center in our national discussion.”

The report highlighted a stark rise in hate crimes countywide, with racial disparities clearly evident. Black individuals continue to bear the brunt of these crimes, underscoring systemic issues that remain pervasive in L.A. County. Source: Los Angeles Times
