Its a crime period. That used to be the conservative stance but since victimism infected conservatism we all want everything to be labeled a hate crime.

You have it wrong. Since we are now saddled with Hate Crime Laws, we just want those Laws to be enforced evenly.

Ultimately those Laws should be repealed, but that will never happen now that the American People think they are Victims. Victims of what I don’t know, but we have to blame somebody because Life isn’t fair you know.

Ideally, there wouldn't be such a thing as a "hate crime" on the books. We shouldn't be in the business of punishing motives, particularly on racial vs. ethnic grounds, only actions.

However, since we're stuck with it now, the options are either selective enforcement, i.e. (rare) white on black crimes treated as "hate crimes" while (common) black on white crimes not subject to the same laws, or we can make the best of a bad situation and at least see to it that a stupid law is justly enforced. What we have now is a system where blacks and other "minorities" basically get away with crimes that others don't get away with.
