'Hate crime' victims: Young, poor, white 210,000 targeted annually due to bias, statistics show
World Net Daily ^ | 2-22-06 | Joseph Farah

WASHINGTON -- The most likely victim of a hate crime in the U.S. is a poor, young, white, single urban dweller, according to an analysis of Justice Department statistics collected from between July 2000 and December 2003.

A November report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics detailing a study of 210,000 "hate crimes" a year during that period has gone virtually unreported by the U.S. press.

But it does contain some surprising numbers. While race is, by far, the No. 1 factor cited as the reason for hate crimes, blacks are slightly less likely to be victims and far more likely to be perpetrators, the statistics show.

The whole concept of hate crimes is a little goofy to me. Aren't all murders hate crimes?

"No officer- I REALLY hated that guy."

Gee, what a big surprize here.

Of course, you can't say that blacks are racists can you, because if you said that, no matter what the facts or evidence are, you'd be labled a racist yourself, because only whites can be racist.

Don't ever waste your time bothering the 'authorities' with the race card, or the 'hate-crime' card, if you happen to be Caucasian, heterosexual, and/or practice a religious faith (n.b. Islam is a sociopolitical faith, not a religious one -- formal demonstration upon request).

There is no way, absolutely no chance, for this Republic to survive unless this pair of thoroughly evil notions are consigned to the dustbin, both at law and as a matter of practical fact. Unfortunately, both these foul notions have somehow become profit centres for their respective adherents.

It's okay to hate someone enough to kill them as long as you don't hate them because of their race, religion, sexual preference, gender, weight, height, eye color, native language, geographic place of birth, economic condition, social status or .... - the list grows constantly.

What I would like to know is the percentage of prosecutions for hate crimes against whites compared to hate crimes against 'minorities'.

Now no doubt this study will be the lead story on CNN tonight. /sarc.

This news will certainly not make it to the mainstream news outlets that's for sure as it would counter their whole paradigm of rampant "unchecked White supremacism" which is ingrained in just about all news reports dealing with so called hate crimes.

You are correct. I absolutely hate to see these lefty racism "experts" say that blacks cannot be racist? Some experts . . . what ghetto do they live in anyway?

Forget hate crime legislation, let me pose a scenario . . .

1. A kills B because B is of a certain race.

2. A kills B because B has shoes that A wants to steal.

Which deserves the harsher punishment? Neither, send them both to their maker.

They live in cozy suburbs that they bitterly call "faculty ghettoes" because they think they deserve palatial estates for writing papers on equity while they go on strike because "the groundskeepers earn almost as much as we do."

Right. These laws serve no useful purpose. Are they supposed to deter crime? Do rapist, thieves, and murderers run towards their victims and upon closer inspection say, "Damn, a black lady! Um...sorry, I thought you were white. Carry on."??????

"The whole concept of hate crimes is a little goofy to me. Aren't all murders hate crimes?"

Abso-frickin-lutely!

David Horowitz, Larry Elder and a few other estute dudes have been siting statistics like these for years (Larry Elder as early as 2000) showing that, by far, whites are more often victims of black perps than vice-versa.

I think it went something like this: Of all violent crime involving whites and blacks 90% of the time it's black perp, white victim.

I also remember another number: a white woman is 54 times more likely to be raped by a black male than a white male.

I KNEW when the dipshits first drafted the idea of "hate-crime" legislation that blacks would be charged with this type of crime most. In fact, the very first person charged with a hate-crime was indeed black.

It's a scary law and should be done away with. The only upside is that people are educated as to how violent the black culture (not race, I said culture, folks) is in America. The violent element within black culture needs a light shined on it. It needs to be discussed. The libs are burying it in some stupid attempt to save the image of blacks by hiding a very real, and very deadly problem in the culture. A problem cannot be solved until it is acknowledged. The libs have blood on their hands with this one.

I grew up poor and white in a housing project in Illinois. I have experienced this first-hand, so-to-speak. I was beaten-up many times for being white and "in the wrong place", a few times smacked around just for looking at a black guy, had things stolen from because I was white, called honky hundreds of times, and picked-on constantly by the older cousins, brothers, fathers, uncles of my black buddies because I was white and in their house.

There have been many black people in my life that I love and respect. This is not about genetics. I fear for black people in this country because they are being so mislead by those that claim to be on their side. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Farrakhan, Bryant Gumble are no friends of the black community. Liberals are racists! The racism they practice is the deadliest kind. It's covert. It's insidious. It's the racism of LOW EXPECTATIONS. They view blacks as perpetual victims. They are taught this by politicians who have to perpetuate this false belief to sustain a voting block. It's the new oppression that blacks face and it must end if they are to evolve as a people.

One more thing, the black "leaders" I mentioned above would have to climb a ladder to touch the bottom of Martin Luther King's shoe. Yet, they dare utter his name like they are of his ilk. Not even close, folks.

"What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! --Frederick Douglas

While nine in 10,000 whites and nine in 10,000 Hispanics are victimized by hate crimes, only seven in 10,000 blacks are targets, according to the report.

If blacks are slightly less likely to be victims and far more likely to be perpetrators, then black on black 'hate-crime' is a given. It won't work out otherwise.

Crime is crime. 'Hate', or at least contempt is implied regardless. Time to do away with the BS and slam all the perps.

Not goofy. The concept of Thought Crime should be anathema to Americans altogether.

Thanks for the heads up on the study Clem!
