Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, Attorney General Eric Holder repeatedly claimed that hate crime laws are designed to protect only groups that were targeted for violence on a "historic basis," such as African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews, and gays.

As straight white people we cannot ever be victims of hate crimes? But..

"according to the Justice Department's own statistics, in only 10% of the 650,000 violent interracial crimes that occur each year in this country are white offenders attacking black victims . . . In 90% of interracial violent crimes, whites are being attacked by blacks."

Lots of source references in this link (above).

The operative pivot is “designed to”, rather than “will”. This is clearly a pre-cursor for intent deniability.

Erick is the pits.
