OK, let's see. If I meat the tar out of someone, because say, they insulted my wife, I get charged with assault.
But if I beat the tar out of someone because they are black, and I just hate black people, well, I get charged with a hate crime.
Is it smart to judge a crime by one's motives? Isn't that parallel to policing your thoughts? Think about ti, in court they will be trying to determine whether or not the accused hated black people or not.
Now, I understand crimes like those white teenagers, years back, who dragged a black girl behind their car. But they should have receive increase sentences because the crime was so brutal, not because the person was black.
Aren't hate crimes, affirmative action, the "Miss Black America" pageant; all serving to further divide our country, and no more?
