why is it that
when a "White" person assults a black person it is a "hate" crime?
BUT
When a "black" person assults a white person it is just assult?
why do they even look at the skin color?
why do they not just look at the crime for what it is?

Just recently, six black kids ganged up on a white kid for no good reason. He was just out playing football with friends. No one shouted racism at the blacks. Can you imagine the situation in reverse? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be on the news every night demanding a federal investigation!
Why do we bend over backwards to be fair to supposed minorities? In many neighborhoods, whites are a small minority. No one cries for them.
How can people like New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin (who did an abysmal job with Katrina, and still got re-elected because he is black) get away with saying that New Orleans should be rebuilt as "a chocolate city" because that is the way God meant it to be? Once again, imagine some southern politician saying New Orleans should be rebuilt as a "lilly white city, because that's the will of God". Once again, Jackson and Sharpton would raise hell. But in reverse, nothing. Not a peep.
How about all the special treatment "minorities" get?
Aside from Christmas and Washington's birthday, (which is now generally just referred to as "Presidents Day" since Abraham Lincoln's birthday is no longer celebrated), no Federal holiday celebrates an individual. However, we have Martin Luther King day. Why?
Even when we celebrated Washington's birthday, it was due to his honored status as a founder of our country.
Why should Martin Luther King Jr. be given this huge, unprecedented honor above ex-Presidents, and other people like Benjamin Franklin or Ronald Reagan, who helped improve our country so greatly?
King had unsavory ties to Communists (no laughing matter), and, if you read the website below, will see was a notorious abuser of women.
Before anyone wants to shout "racist !" at me, let me stop you in your Liberal tracks by mentioning that I am definitely not, and hereby pledge to donate $1,000 if Condaleezza Rice will accept the Republican nomination for President.

For the same reason that it is considered acceptable for the Speaker of the House to attend a racially motivated conference (Alliance of Hispanic Engineers -- or some such title), to announce that building a wall/fence at our southern border is a bad idea. She lives in a gated community. Who is she trying to keep out? Seems descrimination only works one way.

I agree with you completely. We should be beyond race now, and all crimes should be treated the same.
I think that the people protesting Jena6 are way off base. The kids committed a crime and they want them to get off free.

It helps the real Racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stay in business.

It is a dirty rotten shame that color is an issue at all!
Martin Luther King was a wonderful man and all races should have listened more closely when he said, "Do not judge the man by the color of his skin but by the content of his being!"
It is only being proliferated by the ignorant. Racism must be stopped!

It's because people think that minorities need special protection from all of the racist White people in America. I don't agree with the concept of hate crime legislation either.

Yes.
Even when a black murders a person of another race, the black is considered a Victim.
Why???? I don't know.
Hillary, Obama, or Edwards would know.
They could explain it to us.

Don't worry. We'll get it straightened out soon. They honestly think they are getting away with something.

Because it has gone way to far with discrimination.
Now it is reverse discrimination.And has been for a long time.
