The ugly truth about hate crimes - in 5 charts and maps by Christopher Ingraham, Washington Post, June 18, 2015. "Blacks experience the most hate crime. FBI hate crime data show that more than 50 out of every 1 million black citizens was the victim of a racially motivated hate crime in 2012, the highest among any racial group. But this is almost certainly an undercount. The FBI is reliant on state and local law enforcement agencies to categorize and report hate crimes correctly. Some agencies do a much better job of this than others, and there is general agreement that the FBI numbers are significantly lower than they should be."

Arrival of Black Loyalists in Nova Scotia (1783) from Black History Canada, Historica Canada, Canadian Encyclopedia. "During the American Revolution ... (1781 to 1784), tens of thousands of refugees were forced to flee. Because they were loyal to Britain, they were called 'Loyalists.' Many of these Loyalists were Blacks who had been promised their freedom if they would fight on the British side. The response was overwhelming as some 30 000 Blacks escaped to British lines ...
As a British defeat became inevitable, in 1783 the British army evacuated more than 2000 Black Loyalists to Nova Scotia. (Others left for the West Indies, Quebec, England, Germany and Belgium.) Those left behind in the British retreat were recaptured into slavery.
Many Black Loyalists landed at Shelburne, in southeastern Nova Scotia, and later created their own community nearby in Birchtown. With a population of more than 2500, Birchtown was the largest settlement of free Blacks outside Africa.
