Yes, which don’t imply except when you commit a crime motivated by hate. If you smack someone with a baseball bat, that’s a crime for which you go to jail. If you smack someone who is black with that same bat, and shout “take that, n###er!” you go to jail longer. That’s all “hate crimes are”.
Now if you shout at a passing black man, “Hey, n####er, shine my shoes!” and he either ignores you or takes out his shine kit and gets ready to do so, you won’t go to jail at all. But if he then comes over and makes as if to fight you for using the N word, well, then likely you’ll go to jail for a hate crime if you win the fight, because you initiated hostilities with a racial epithet. But if he takes a swing at you unprovoked and you win the fight, you probably won’t go to jail at all in an ideal world. You were defending yourself from an unprovoked attack.
Note. This world is NOT ideal.
Further note. I think “hate crime” laws are idiotic. The only instance in which something should be classified as such is if someone commits a crime in order to start a race war or riot. So even though the Manson Family killed only white people, the fact that they did so to start a race war would make it a hate crime.
Once again, this is not how things work in reality. Just how they should.
I thought Kanye West became a preacher some years back.....
Happened just recently.
Woman was (falsely) accused of saying the N-word. She was arrested and charged for "disorderly conduct" and "three counts of breach of peace in the second degree."
I’m a Yale free-speech champion — arrested for words I never said.
Hitler, Goering, Rohm, and and others started the Nazi Party in “a gay bar in Munich” called the Bratwurstgloeckl (innuendo meaning: home of the long sausage). only “hardcore homosexual” officers advanced through the ranks of Adolf Hitler’s regime. The NAZI party’s persecution of Jews and Christian’s was a Sodomite backlash against conservatives who tried to expose homosexualsat the highest levels of German society.
Perhaps it was a good idea to turn Hitler into the Devil. Stalin was worse—killed more people. Same with Mao in China. Most do not know the Nazis killed 12 million in their camps—six just for being Jews. The rest were seen as enemies of the state. In WW II the Japanese killed more Chinese. We forgave the Japanese for Nanking (the Chinese have not) and ask for all their poison gas, germ bomb research to use.
Well, that sure sucks.
It's worse than bad. Singing Heil Hitler or aligning with satanic Nazis is bad, and moronic.
The point Rogan makes is banning and canceling is counter-productive when most would just walk away, ignore it or not even know it exists.
Now everyone is talking about it, some making Kanye a sympathetic figure
He’s schizophrenic, I think. This is just his latest personality. Any day now he’ll have an “epiphany” and release a song about lovy-dovy harmony and all that, and that’ll be him for a while.
Personally, I find anti-Semites entertaining, until they get violent. Kanye’s not the violent type, but some of his fans might be.
> Does he know what Hitler thought of blacks. <
In his private conversations Hitler made many disparaging remarks about blacks.
On the other hand, I once read an article about a black guy from Africa who was studying in Germany. When the war broke out, he found himself trapped there. The black guy claimed that no one bothered him. No beatings in the street by the Nazi Brownshirts, or anything like that.
He continued his studies unmolested until the war was over. Then he went back to his home country.
Bit of a surprise there, eh?
But it also proves my point. They had to attach the accusation to an actual criminal act. It did not stand alone, but had to be placed in conjunction with “disordly conduct” and “breach of peace”. Sounds concocted, and hopefully it won’t stand.
Whites lost their jobs and were expelled from schools for daring to say, “It’s OK To Be White.”
Nothing bad was done to Jesse Owen in the middle of the night, either, even though he was a threat to the Nazi narrative of racial superiority. Goebbels just said he could run and jump real good because he was a talking monkey, or something to that effect. But they let him alone to compete. This was in 1936. I think things got worse as the Nazis solidified their power.
The African might have been from one of the countries under nazi occupation, so was afforded special consideration. He couldn’t have been studying in Berlin. That was bombed into a pile of rocks. Heidelberg?
The Nazis murdered most of Ernst Rõhm’s SA on the Night of the Long Knives.
Homosexuals were sent to work-concentration camps. Saying that the National Socialist German Workers party leadership were homos is disingenuous, at best.
No doubt. Not an ideal world.
Ye is crazy but Joe Rogan is taking heat for expressing his opinions regarding the situation in Gaza.
Right. Everyone knows West is a bipolar idiot.
And Rogan had no call to give him an audience.
Tucker does this too. It’s demeaning to them.
Well Kanye is a Gay Fish.
