Why does it have to be a hate crime?

The perp and the victim’s family knew each other.

Skin color may have nothing to do with the motive.

because ANY crime committed by a white against a black is by default considered a hate crime - so this sure seems like a hate crime to me.

“Skin color may have nothing to do with the motive.”

So, when a white does the crime it is a hate crime but a black cannot do hate crimes?

I don't think they did. Then again, with the sloppy writing and the "alternative family structure" it's very hard to tell.

Would it be a hate crime if it was a white adult waking and murdering a four year old black child?
