Hate speech and hate crimes are BS. Assaults and harassment are already prosecutable crimes. Manufacturing a new category for some involving different races is stupid.

You're not seeing it.....

Hate speech and hate crime laws only protect those from LEFT WING VOTING BLOCKS.

To prove my point, name one right wing voting block that would be protected by these laws.......You can't. There aren't any.

Well, that's not exactly the way I see it. But we are so close in thought that it really doesn't matter.

I see the hate speech/hate crime BS as yet another example of handicapping whites and lowering the bar for blacks. I think it is exactly the same thing as affirmative action, Black Congressional Caucus, hiring quotas, minority scholarships, black farmers settlement checks...all those things that are somehow fine for blacks but forbidden for others.

Rules and laws should apply to all people equally. Men and women should be judged on the quality of their character and never the color of their skin. Anything else is political nonsense.

I remember one time some reporter was trying to play gottcha with Bush by asking him about not passing hate crime after a black guy was pulled by a truck to his death. Bush just looked like that didn’t make any sense and said, ‘the people responsible rec’d the death penalty so I don’t know what more justice can be served’.
