It has always been my position that there is no such thing as a “hate crime”.

We supposedly are to be treated equally under the law. Hate crimes seem to imply there is the ability of judges and juries to read the mind of the accused and determine the accused level of hate he used in committing the crime. Only Teddy Kennedy and wild eyed liberals with “feelings” could believe that!

Its utter nonsense!

Have you ever used a racial slur?

every time i hear the phrase "racial slur" i think of a scene in clerks 2 where randall does a rundown on racial slurs. i can't even begin to quote it here, but it always cracks me up.

There is no evidence that Zimmerman used the word "coons." There is just some ideologues in the media claiming that an indistinct noise on the tape was the word "coons."

I'd be as ready to believe that "coons" is a Quechua word for "Skittles-eaters" than that Zimmerman used the word as a slur.
