No it was a hate crime against blacks. Truth is ugly, but that’s it.
Oh, I know. I was just making a point about "hate crimes." If he shot a bunch of people at a church meeting, you just as easily say, based on that alone, that it was a hate crime against Christians.
I don't like the whole concept of "hate crimes." To murder nine innocent people, whatever the reason, is crime enough. Also, this shooting will give "ammo" to the race hustlers like Sharpton and the media, while the truth is, the overwhelming proportion of interracial violent crime is black against white. But that gets ignored, while this will be played up big-time.
With every offense under the sun being labeled a "hate crime" these days, sometimes it takes a moment to digest when an actual one occurred.
But yes, I agree. It appears this was a real hate crime against blacks. There's no other way to spin it.
I expect the conspiracy nuts to come crawling out of the woodworks now for the next several weeks while this remains the nation's top news story.
