Hate crime legislation is discrimination. But you're probably thinking this is ironic, as you've been told hate crimes are supposed to fight this very thing. And after all, this is America, the land where we're supposed to be of any gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation and not receive any bias. So what could possibly be wrong with classifying a crime with hate, for a larger sentence?.
As I said, hate crimes laws are a way for the Democrats, the major proponents of this, and liberals to discriminate against the majority. Their goal isn't to to make everyone equal, but rather to make all alternative lifestyles and minorities now the majority, and this is precisely what hate crime laws do.
Simple put, they place the life of a homosexual or minority race to be worth more than the straight white male. If an individual goes out and kills a black man, he will be viciously targetted by the media and prosecutors as being a racist skinhead, out to kill niggers. Chances are he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent and be executed. I have no problem up to now. He committed a violent act, and received the right punishment - execution. But what would have been the outcome, had a black man killed this supposed "white trash", with racial intent. He felt angered by years of oppression his ancestors suffered, and decided to take it out on the next white person he saw. Chances are, he will receive no media attention, and only be prosecuted to a lesser murder charge, and maybe even allowed to plea bargain to a manslaughter charge. After all, he's just a victim of years of oppression right?(sarcasm).
A couple of months ago, a black man named Steven Johnson walked into a New York City bar, loaded with guns and explosives. This guy was armed and angry. He shot three people, took the entire bar hostage, and began kerosene all over to set the place on fire. Fortunately he was stopped by two people who jumped him.
