All across America, thousands of hate crimes are committed every year, but only a small number of them get reported. An even smaller fraction are ever prosecuted. The podcast “Invisible Hate” is here to figure out why.
“Invisible Hate” is a true crime podcast about underreported hate crimes. Cohosted by Saadia Khan (“Immigrantly”) and Asad Butt ("American Muslim Project"), the podcast sheds light on the worst true crimes that are motivated by things like race, religion or sexual orientation and are usually perpetrated against minorities.
Each week, the two hosts share the details of a crime committed in North America along with a debate about how to classify it, as well as little-known facts about hate crimes, a discussion about why these crimes are underreported (and why it matters) and personal anecdotes.
On this week’s episode, Khan and Butt share the story of a young Black man named Michael Griffith. Griffith was killed on December 20, 1986, at the young age of 23-years-old. The crime took place in Howard Beach in Queens, New York City, after Griffith was chased by a group of white youths. While running away, Griffith fled onto a highway where he was fatally struck by a passing motorist. Khan and Butt pay tribute to Griffith by sharing his full story.
