😆 🤣 😆 ......mean but funny... any way the KKK isn't just white on black racism... the kkk is against all racist just about... mexican, chinese, native americans, indians and everyone else.... its not on just one group.... which by the way if find it that the white people are "NIGGERS" meaning ignorant people for using such a word to replace another word such as Negro....
Suppose a black man is walking down the street when a truck pulls up along side him. Three white men get out of the truck and attack him, calling him a "******". This would be a hate crime because the racial identity of the victim is the sole motivation for the commission of the crime.
Now suppose a black man is walking down the street when a truck pulls up along side him. Three white men get out of the truck and attempt to rob him. The black man fights back and one of the men calls him a "******". This would not be a hate crime because the racial identity of the victim is incidental to the commission of the crime. The sole motivation for the commission of this crime is robbery. In this instance, the man is called a "******" because he happens to be black. Had he been overweight, he would have been called a "fat ass," had beeen a woman, he would have been called a "*****," and so on.
Which brings us to the topic at hand. There is no doubt that race was a component of this crime but it was not the motivation of this crime. Had the girls been black or puerto rican or chinese, they would have still been beaten up. Therefore, it is not a hate crime.
you know very well that woudn't be the standard if it was a bunch of whites attacking black girls. Suddenly its time to get technical when the races are turned around?
you know what nevermind.
I am not really gonna debate with anyone in here because it seems to me besides a few fine hairs everyone is is agreement with the bulk of the issue here, wich is racism comes in all forms and should be treated the same no matter what the race is.
If everyone agrees with that i don't really have a reason to hammer it in with posts.
I think some of us (including me) are straining a gnat when the fact remains I think all of us to some degree in here agree with eachother
