The Hate Crimes You Don’t Hear About

[Old Sarge]

White kills black = Hate Crime.

Black kill white = Affirmative Action/Multicultural/Diversity/Tolerance/Righting-past-wrongs...

Makes me sick.

[cyborg]

People have been killing each other since Cain killed Abel. Exactly how is this article telling me something I do not already know?

Jacobs and Potter examine many of the myths and problems surrounding the idea of hate crimes, showing, among other things, that the loudly promoted “hate crime epidemic” in America is an illusion. Hate crimes have never been more than a tiny fraction of overall violent crime, and the numbers have actually been holding steady or decreasing in recent years.22 The authors also reveal the surprising statistics regarding interracial crime. It turns out that 80 percent of violent crimes involve an attacker and victim of the same race. “For the 20 percent of violent crimes that are interracial, 15 percent involve black offenders and white victims; 2 percent involve white offenders and black victims; and 3 percent involve other combinations.”23

I do not care about criminals. I hate liberals so I care even less about them. Liberals have an agenda in manipulation. Certain folks on the right seem to like to mentally touch themselves over how much crime they think blacks like to commit, instead of focusing on the black people who DO NOT commit crime. So if hate crimes are a myth then why do we waste time talking about them?

A crime is a crime and is punishable by law. It doesn't need special adjectives to describe it so it can get special attention like the bloody queers demanding special rights.

What acts of brutal murder are considered "love" crimes?

[GOPJ]

An ugly consequence of a biased press:

Because these hate crimes were perpetrated by black against whites — even though they were based completely on racial hatred — the national media, politicians, and civil rights leaders ignored them.

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallow south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop


Don't kid yourselves that black on white crimes are the only crimes that don't get mentioned.

There's a whole world of crimes out there that *nobody* likes to talk about. And I mean nobody.

Well said cyborg. I wish I was as articulate as you.
Thanks.

Silly Old Sarge...

Don't you know that reporting black on white crime as a hate crime IS a hate crime against blacks?

I personally hate the idea of hate crimes in all it's horrifying glory. Crime is crime. The crime is what the criminal has done. Calling his motives a crime opens the door to horrible abuses further down the road -- heck, we are already heading down that road.

The way they sound now, Liberals consider just being Conservative de-facto evidence of hate, thus we are all hate criminals... though criminals... doubleplusungood anyhow.

Scary times. And getting worse if we don't get control of the bench back from the neo-Marxists that have wormed their way into the judiciary.

[cyborg]

It must be the "I hate liberals" :D

[Chi-townChief]

Ah yes - Billie's final blast.

[cyborg]

Yes and like all these kids who got molested by clergy,etc. we only hear about it years later. Disgusting.

[neutrino]

You, sir, have hit the nail squarely upon the head. My compliments.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Would an unbiased press be too much to ask for in a free country? Just the facts, no more Tom Browkaw s_eating grin at the end of the typical liberal puff piece.

Like what ???

[Jean S]

Actually, no, that was not the comment that impressed me and I wasn't impressed with your most recent comment about the clergy.

[cyborg]

Misunderstood my reference to the clergy... I was thinking what altayann said about a world of crimes that people do not know about. Sexual abuse is one of them. There's clergy abuse then there is parental abuse too. People who verbally abuse and bully people into suicide and no one would ever know someone's words made someone want to die. Sometimes the media blows things out of proportion to suit their own agenda. But no way was I taking a stab at clergy for any nefarious reasons.

[dagnabbit]

B.S. Not in 2003. Violent crime in the United States is overwhelmingly disproportionately committed by non-whites.

[altayann]

Well, let's see now...

The Salem witch trials.
The forced medical sterilizations of the potentially mentally handicapped in the US.
Black extra judicial lynchings in the US.
English Catholics being burned at the stake by Protestants.
English Protestants being burned at the stake by Catholics.
European Jews being slaughtered during the Inquisition and the Holocaust.
Moslems being slaughtered by Christians during the Crusades.
Germans carrying out medical experiments on Red Army officers during WWII.
Japanese scientists carrying out biological warfare experiments on Koreans and American POWs during WWII.
The Allied destruction of the city of Dresden during WWII through the deliberation creation of a firestorm.

And so on. And so forth.

[altayann]

Actually, sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church is another good one. Thanks, I'd forgotten about that one.
