Nice Media Omission...student beaten unconscious

[stevo]

Is it possible for a nonwhite person to be charged with a hate crime?
I can't say I've ever seen or heard it happen.

According to Eric Holder? No. The Civil Rights laws weren't written to protect whites

Only if the victim is gay.

Beat me to it!

In cases where it was a sexual orientation hate crime, but I've never seen it in racial hate crimes.

The animals that attacked that transvestite in mcdonalds four or so months ago, in which they tried to drag it outside, were charged with hate crimes. Saw it touched on in only one article, then it dropped off the radar screen...

Everyone is a racist to some degree. People will always gravitate to their own kind for a familiar and safe enviorment. The problem only comes when people take it to a level of hate, resentment or for some a sense of entitlement.

Everyone is prejudiced to a degree, not racist.

You are correct, I worded it incorrectly.

It's not about stereotypes, it's about the media not mentioning race. IF it was the opposite...7 white students beating up 1 black student... What do you think the media reaction would be?

exactly. it would've been front page news and wolf blitzer and that ugly chick on msnbc would be squawking about how awful this was and how could things like that still happen in this day and age.

btw, i dont consider ocala "rural".

I don't normally get involved in this forum but I might write a letter to the governor about hate crime charges being brought about. Will it help. No. But it will make me feel better.

You must've missed the memo. When you're white, it's only a hate crime if you're gay.

[Treasure Chest]

Nope, the victim is white. There is no such thing as a hate crime against a whitey unless they are gay.

Stevo

Oh, damn. I missed this the first go around!

I went to the San Antonio Zoo as a young kid. I remember standing and watching the inmates at "Monkey Island". I bet that bus was like that. A zoo full of monkeys. Wonder if Michelle Obama will require all school buses to stock bananas and peanuts. They could use their food stamps to pay for them. Maybe a Democrat could get the contract to supply them. Welcome to Barry's new America.

Good lord. Because a group of black kids beat up a white kid, all black people are animals? I'm glad I'm a member of a race with no members that would ever be capable of doing something like this! Oh, wait.
