No it was a hate crime against blacks. Truth is ugly, but that’s it.

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.

Iow, their perceived enemies of the political day.

Salon is already saying all Whites must answer for this.
