That’s true, and that’s bullshit, and I wasn’t suggesting anything otherwise. Other than maybe getting drunk and punching someone like an idiot, I’ve never committed a crime against anyone I didn’t hate, have you? I think the term ‘hate crime’ SHOULDN’T have to exist, but it’s easy to forget that not everyone is a reasonable human being, and some take joy in causing others harm simply for being black or white or gay or really into ska or whatever. If someone gets hurt by someone sheerly because they were a (whatever), I do think that warrants a stiffer sentence, and if hate-crime laws are the means to that prosecutorial end, well, that’s okay. I also think that random killings of completely innocent people are nothing short of terrorism and should be prosecuted as such, maybe with stiffer penalties still.The only difference between a white dude shooting 5 people at a mall and a nig shooting 5 people at a drug dealers house boils down to motive. The FBI defines the elements of the crime, which pretty much means “mass shooting” mostly apply only to white people. In most fucked up Amercian’s minds, only whites can be racist. The same applies to “hate crimes”, 9/10 people charged are white people...yet as example, last week a nig stabbed a 12 y/o white kid in the neck while screaming racial slurs like “white devil”. Was he charged with hate crime? NOPE.
White folks are most certainly not the only racists, and any time a non-white racist gets treated differently than a white one would in the same circumstances, yeah, that’s shitty. Then again, maybe some concessions need to be made now and again for appearances when by a WIDE margin, most crime against people simply for being a (whatever) has been for all of western history and I believe (admittedly to a lesser than historical degree) still is committed by white folks, but that’s a hefty maybe and not at all what I was talking about.
I say again, I am a white man, and I’m neither particularly for nor against any race, sex, religion, sexual preference, or anything else that doesn’t hurt others, but mass shootings against random, unaffiliated, innocent people of random or multiple descriptions (and while we’re at it shootings of groups of majority non-white, straight, males) in the modern U.S. are simply almost always politically or ‘morally’ motivated and committed by disgruntled white men. It’s not a statement of bias on my part, it’s a statement of statistical fact. That’s what I was trying to say, nothing more or less.
