And I'd love to agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Look, heres where you're screwing this up.

"hate crime" has a legal definition. Just like "insanity" (it doesn't mean mentally insane) It is not a hate crime simply because Al Sharpton or some other fuckstick says it was all about race. A hate crime has to be charged by the prosecution, and decided upon by the jury. The victim doesn't get to say "charge him with a hate crime because he raped me because I was black!". It just doesn't work like that. Thats media postulating bullshit propogated by Sharpton and the like.

I certainly won't argue with you that certain minority groups use their minority status to gain attention in the media. They do, and they're fuckwads. Sharpton being the fuckwad of all fuckwads.

But thats an entirely different argument than whether hate crime statutes should be removed.

This is going nowhere, so cheers, goodnight
