What is 'hate' a crime anyway?

Pretty Ambiguous. Hate is like Porn, we know it when we see it. Accept we don't. Hate speech and hate crimes are meaningless.

Lets ask Jesse Smollett, there is entire closet industry in the poor black community perennially blaming whites for their failures, sorry kids.

A crime is a crime. "Hate Crime" is made up by the lefties to divide this country.

Maybe a cousin to a 'crime of passion'...

Law is defined by reason. Provable facts. HATE is so defuse and meaningless, it shouldn't be a included in the legal system? How do you with facts PROVE racism?

Certainly it's about opinion. However a lot of crimes are. If a crime is committed because someone hates a person merely because of the color of their skin, sexual orientation, then it's a hate crime.

You go to a gay bar and beat up a random gay person simply for being gay, it's a hate crime.

Is the victim of a hate murder more dead than the victim of a regular murder?
It's thought crime to have differing standards for the two, and once you start accepting thought crime, you open a pandora's box of abuse and corruption.
Think of the long term consequences of giving the government the power to punish thoughts.

Hate crime/speech is purely based on politics. You don't like what I do or say am saying, it's a ...hate crime? Says who?

Apparently saying a racial slur while murdering someone is a much worse crime that murdering someone for his money.

Why was 9-11 not a hate crime?
Why are all of these Policemen who are murdered by Racist SJWs not a hate crime?
How come when a BLM supporter runs over dozens of people in a Christmas parade it's not a hate crime?
