[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why this is a 16 page thread.  It's a racially motivated crime against a disabled man -- these kids should be soundly punished, possibly under hate crimes laws (which apply to the disabled as well as racial categories).

This does NOTHING to change the fact that [b]black people suffer systematic racism, and that minorities are the primary victims of hate crimes.[/b]  [/quote]

Totally untrue. Over 90% of violent crime between blacks and whites involves blacks attaching whites. If hate crime charges were brought fairly, only a tiny percentage would involve black victims. [/quote]

You have no idea what you're talking about.  To be a hate crime, it has to be demonstrably proven that there was a racial motivation.  That is very hard to show, and the vast majorities of crimes, period, are not hate crimes.  Statistics do show that Blacks are the most frequent victims of hate crimes based on race, with an uptick of crimes against Muslims and Hispanics.  http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/fbi-hate-crimes-muslims.html

I'm not sure where your 90% figure comes from but it seems doubtful.

In any event, racism is a reality.  But the fact that racism against blacks is real in no way negates that white people can be victims of crime (including hate crimes).  [/quote]
