What is a "hate crime"?

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Thanks for taking the time to write an excellent explanation, ETN!

If a white criminal commits a crime against a black victim, he's committed a hate crime. Result- Increased penality

If a black criminal commits a crime against a black victim, he's a victim of his environment. Result- Minimum penality.

That pretty well sums it up. Just depends on the so called victim.

A crime is a crime. Just let it go at that.

I got into a debate with a liberal over this last night. It did not end well, as we all could guess.

Trying to debate a liberal is like trying to teach a pig to sing.

It frustrates you and annoys the pig.

It's easy to get frustrated when debating a liberal, just like DaddyO says. Liberals always try to bend

the argument into something it's not and use twisted logic, or just no logic, at all. They usually can't

base their argument on something concrete. If you stick to the concrete, you can make the liberal the

one who is frustrated. Always keep your argument focused on one point. He can't do that, usually.

I used to think old guys were crazy for spouting their filthy racist rhetoric about a coming race war. Bad as I hate to say it [because I hate those kind of people] I think they were on to something.

During the course of the argument something came up about Al Sharpton. This guys response is that Al Sharpton has no motive to promote racial items like "hate crime," but rather that he is an ex-civil rights activist who is still stuck in his old ways. Also that he thinks that the population has yet to fully be able to comprehend no racial discrimination, therefore we need "hate crime" type laws/devices in place. Several other people near by turned and looked at him like he was crazy and continued arguing with him. At that point I decided just to leave.
