Here in Charles Co., MD, we've had a serious rash of hate crimes for the past two years or so. In today's edition of our local newspaper, the Maryland Independent, it was reported that four juveniles were arrested last week for their involvement in an August hate crime in which offensive language, such as "KKK", "Gay Pride" and obscene language, was spray-painted on 16 cars and driveways and mailboxes in a Waldorf neighborhood. The victims are all African-American.
But, get this -- out of the four juveniles, THREE ARE BLACK AND ONE IS WHITE.
This small column was buried in the newspaper and I'm upset that it is not front-page news. Is it okay for black juveniles to spray-paint hate-filled obscenities and then, when arrested, the community is not informed of this? In my own neighborhood, I tend to look for white juveniles committing reckless hate crimes drawing swastikas and KKK. Does that mean that I now have to scrutinize blacks and other minorities committing these crimes? These juveniles are doing these crimes so that the residents panic and blame whites. Unbelievable!

All to often when you hear about these hate crimes the “victims” are also the perp or it is a black on black crime. Locally a few years ago a cross burning turned out to have been done by the victim because she wanted out of her lease.
The black boys will walk. The white boy won’t.
Because it is a thoughtcrime to think otherwise.
