Though the reports from these agencies are insufficient to allow a valid national or regional measure of the volume and types of crimes motivated by hate, they offer perspectives on the general nature of hate crime occurrence.

Intimidation continued to be the most often reported hate crime offense
4,847 were white, 1,411 were blackDoes this mean they collected a lot of statistics that show blacks are intimidated by whites and report it as a hate crime?
To: farmfriend
Whites outnumber blacks in the general population by about a 8:1 margin. The ratio of white hate crimes to black hate crimes was less than 4:1. Thus the statistics show that blacks were about twice as likely as whites to commit a hate crime.

Thus the statistics show that blacks were about twice as likely as whites to commit a hate crime. Perhaps that is true, but according to your statistics, a black is also 32 times more likely to be a victim of a hate crime as an individual white. This is what it means to be a minority.
For example, if there are 9 whites and 1 black in a room and 4 whites don't like the black and hit him and the black does not like the whites and hits a white, the black guy gets hit 4 times while a white gets hit 1/9th of a time. So even though the black guy got hit 4 times, in the room blacks are twice as likely to commit a hate crime as a white.

How much time and money do you suppose they waste on this political nonsense? The traditional function of the FBI is to deal with serious federal crime, in particular to deal with dangerous foreign agents and spies, professional mobsters, bank robbers, kidnappers, and terrorists. Instead, they are spending their time on this kind of politically correct nonsense. How many hundreds of FBI agents worked full-time in a vain effort to catch one alleged abortion-clinic bomber? How many of them work full time spying on people praying on sidewalks? How many of them are desperately trying to pin the anthrax letters on Hillary Clinton's Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy?
What a load of horse manure.

Why is it a hate crime when a white attacks a black but not vice versa? According to the FBI in 1998 Blacks were 86 TIMES more likely to be the perpetrator in crime involving a black and a white. Further, how is a Hate Crime really defined? How can you know whats going on in a persons head to motivate them? Just another example of the protected classes in America today.
To: Right of Buchannan
Why is it a hate crime when a white attacks a black but not vice versa? I guess it is probably because if one out of every six whites decided to shoot a black, and every single black decided to shoot a white, then one out of every 6 whites in the country would be dead, while 100% of the blacks would be dead.

You can't. That is why the whole idea of "hate crimes" is bogus. A crime is a crime is a crime. Trying to postulate the mental state of the perpetrator is simply stupid (which is why the liberals are so in love with it).

A person should be prosecuted based on his actions, not upon his thoughts.

Last febuary I witnessed a young man from my area be beaten to death on television while defending a young woman from being repeatedly punched in the face,kicked in her stomach while on the ground and assaulted by a group of male attackers. This young mans name was Kristopher Kime.
This young man later died after being gang beaten while racial slurs were tossed at him. Were the attackers charged with hate crimes? No. Instead it was smothered up. Buried. Maybe because Kime was white and his attackers were black.
There is a young woman out there today alive because of this mans sacrifice. And the media, and justice system refuses to give him the justice he deserves.
During the riots one of the attackers arrested was an individual named "Khallid Adams." He claimed he intentially hit victims because they were asian or white. he even claimed at one point it was part of his personal "race war." Was Adams sentenced to hate crimes charges? No. They were dropped. This is a sad state of affairs occuring around the country. And it happens over and over and over. Oftentimes "hate crimes" statistics are manipulated not by arrest but by conviction factor. and there is a difference.
Will the manipulation of these "statistics" keep my family,myself or anyone else safe? I doubt it.

"Someone need to rename this 'so called' crime." Agreed. This is just more political control nonsense.

they offer perspectives on the general nature of hate crime occurrence. No they dont. They show only the results of political action groups that encourage their members to report verbal insults and physical attacks to their local police departments, and those groups require the police departments to fill out an official FBI hate crime form. The most active groups that pursue this distorted disproportionate reporting are black, gay, and Jewish. Most white Gentiles dont know of the existence of these FBI forms.
COMPLETE REPORT HERE. I posted a copy of the FBI form on post 27

That is why the whole idea of "hate crimes" is bogus. A crime is a crime is a crime I think that crime that is done for no reasonable reason other than the desire to commit crime is worse than a crime done for a reasonable motive.
I think shooting people at random, for no reason than the enjoyment of mayhem is worse than shooting to rob, exact revenge, road rage ,or other reason.
The extension to hate crimes simply means that "hate crime" laws mean greater punishment for those who commit crimes for no explainable reason other than dislike of someone's race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or national origin.
As far as reading intent, this is done all the time in murder cases. 1st degree murder is intentional, while other murder is not. They are both murder, but one type gets a tougher sentence. The same goes for malicious destruction. The same applies in civil suits where punitive damages are handed out for intentional wrong doing as opposed to accidental wrong doing. Hate crime laws are an extention of these ideas.
