Statistics Do Not Show True Results

The statistics for Hate Crimes are only showing hate crimes against blacks from whites and against gays from heterosexual whites. They do not show the hate crimes committed against heterosexual whites. A good example is the young lady killed in Portsmouth by an African-American. If this was a white man that killed a black lady, it would be reported as a hate crime. However, it is not when it is a crime reported against a white person - just a normal event. The list of hate crimes against whites will never be added. Give me one case where a black person or homosexual was ever charged with a hate crime!

Bursting your bigoted bubble

The FBI report on "hate" crimes shows that 20.2 percent were committed by African-Americans, which shows you that hate is an equal opportunity motive. You are correct, though, in that there is no category for a homosexual committing a crime against a straight person because he/she is straight.

You can't be serious

A hate crime is fueled by MOTIVE. That girl in Portsmouth was killed not because she was white but because the man had a deadly infatuation with her. If anything it would be a hate crime against her gender as she was raped. Most blacks who kill whites do it for the motive of robbery. Most whites who kill blacks do it out of racial hate. Case closed. The motives are different.

Come on Terry

We all know that all hate crimes are committed by white, heterosexual men. Nobody who is a member of one of the 'protected' groups (everyone else) can commit a crime based on hate. It's impossible.

Joke

'Hate Crimes' what a joke. One more politically correct thing that divides us all. Crime is crime, or should be. The US Department of InJustice validates it's existance- not.

I hate drunks and drug

I hate drunks and drug dealers. Does that me a criminal? oh, and ignorance, pardoned mine!!!
