Has anyone been charged with a hate crime who isn't white? (Vanity)
My seething mind | April 21, 2010 | Moi

Today on the news I saw yet another white man charged with a hate crime for having killed someone of another race. The victim was Hispanic. I'm wondering... are all hate crime charges leveled at whites? If so, doesn't this create an unequal-before-the law situation that is even more unconstitutional than the original concern of protected minorities having more rights than others? I mean... it sounds like hate crime legislation is actually targetting one group.

Were those muslims who shot the allegedly gay man with a BB gun charged with hate crimes? Was the black gang who tortured and murdered a white couple charged with hate crimes? Are Latinos who target blacks (and vice versa) charged with hate crimes? I don't even know how to begin to research this.

I think there is a quote (Holder?) saying exactly that victims of hate crimes are only those who have suffered historical discrimination or something like that. Can’t find the quote though.

In other words it’s not a hate crime if the victim is white.

While more whites are charged with hate crimes than blacks in absolute numbers, a higher percentage of blacks (compared to population) are charged with hate crimes than whites: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21943 The LSM just doesn’t cover those. Doesn’t fit the leftist narrative...

“Plain common sense tells me that any crime that involves violence against someone is a hate crime. Period. It just is. Period....”

Yep, those of us with common sense know this. But, the idiots passing these laws lack any good old common sense. Come to think of it, they just don’t have any kind of sense at all!

I heard about a hate crime in San Francisco: Two gay guys attacked a lesbian. One held her down while the other did her hair.

Terrible, just terrible!

There were some close calls...but word got handed down in time to prevent the non-whites from making thought crimes look bad.

Article is from 1993. I doubt the NYT would publish it today.

Hate crimes laws are covert get-even-with-em-ism. Cause we all know that whites have all the power.
