The rapper who beat the tar out of this clerk used the N word 10 or so times. That makes this a hate crime.
Nope, not a Hate Crime. Hate Crimes only apply to Whitey.
BTW - Hate Crimes are 100% Unconstitutional. Hate is a Motive, it isn’t a Crime.
As a Free American, I can hate anyone I choose to hate and they have the Right to hate me as well. The Government has no such Right to tell me what I choose to believe is not acceptable. If my beliefs go against the norms of a Civil Society, anyone or everyone can choose to ignore or shun me.
It’s when that Hate turns into Assault where a line is crossed. As I like to say, your Rights end at the tip of my Nose and the fold of my Wallet.
