African-Americans are incabable of a hate crime.

That’s the spino on this.

I don’t believe in the concept of “hate crimes” because they amount to thought crimes.

Not American.

The perps who beat this teenager need to be brought to justice for beating him, not their motivation.

“Hate crimes” are a slippery slope that will lead to our words about anything inluding the kind we post here being labeled “hate crimes.”

One of the 1st posts I ever made here involved a response from someone who spoke of imagining not being able to think about anything anymore unless being aware that thoughts would be crimes. That was an interesting conversation.

If the slippery slope applies to some people, then it must apply to ALL ....
