I have never understood the whole "hate crime" thing.
Why is it worse if I kill you because of your skin color than if I kill you to steal your money?
either way you are dead and I have committed murder.
Why is one worse?
I guess the answer is that hate crime legislation is the left's attempt at thought control.
Evidently you abilities to reason fell short by your ignorance of history in the US of minorities and their abuse by whites.
yes, there was discrimination in the past. No one is denying that. Is hate crime legislation somehow a way to "get even" for the sins of our great grandfathers?
