Well considering the fact if a bunch of white people kidnap , rape, sodomize, torture, & kill a black couple they will be charged with kidnap, rape, murder, & hate crimes. Now if 4 black people kidnap, rape, sodomize, torture, & murder a white couple they will be charged with kidnap, rape, & murder and no hate crimes. I know because this happened last year and once again it wasn't a hate crime. Now look at statistics of crime and the black on white crime ratio is like 14 times more than the white of black crimes....
So they can say what ever they want this bill is racist and it does nothing to protect the victims unless You are a so called minority. Here is a idea how bout You make the penalty more sever for these crimes then You won't have to invent new penalties.

I have to take the opinion of common sense.
Weather you kill someone because they are black or because You just felt like killing someone that day.
You killed someone.
Why does it matter if it was out of race? Is that any more evil then just felling like it?
The simple fact is that it is a new floor on crime lengths. It will expand and expand until every crime is a hate crime.
Then they control what you think, through their vision of how you should think
They want to add bloody midgets now.
if you are going to kill someone out of their height, then you should go to jail. But this is not more evil then killing your class mates because you failed a test.
If it expands too far, what's the limit? How long until hating your government is a hate crime?

Yeah our free speech is doing fine.
Free Speech zones
The only problem is they want you to stnd far far away from the ppl
you are trying to offer your 1st amendment right opinion too.
So, don't buy into the everything is fine line.
It is pretty friggin far from fine, but I do not think it will be fixed,
and I am fairly sure it is going to get much worse just like it
did in germany.
Naomi Wolf's speeches and writings go into DEEP detail where we are
headed, and as I said before most of the country is quite distracted
and oblivious to what is being systematically done.

That's a question I've thought about too. But when you think about it- hate crimes aren't usually committed against whites... we aren't usually on the receiving end of hate crimes that often. I would agree that there shouldn't be a racial slant here- but- this bill does nothing that people against it seem to say that it does.
Gays would have you know many of them are white and while they may say "but its our being gay that people hate," I tell them THAT is why Blacks see this as minority's we can readily identify as many gays don't wear "I'M GAY" as a tattoo on ther foreheads.
Hate crime? who decides who says so? I think they want this legislation because they know people are giving eachother a lot of Crap these days, and more now than ever, I want my humanary and fundamental right to hate anyone I damn well please.

"I don't see what's wrong with the bill. What a hate crime is- is clearly established in the bill."
It is punishment for "thought". How does the government begin to know what was in the heart of the person? They don't, they can't! That means that the judgment has to come from the opposing colors of the skin. That is defined as racial discrimination.
There are already cases where the punishments of white people have been escalated under these laws when there is no proof of racial motivation and there are cases where blacks were not escalated even though they were yelling racial epithets while beating the whites. Try this: Ask a black person if blacks can be racist. They will respond in the negative most of the time. This simply means that what is “clearly defined in the bill” is subject entirely to interpretation and a presumption that one knows the thoughts of another. From the cases mentioned above, do you see equality in application of those laws? I can provide you a link to a crime involving black-on-white where the authorities are hesitant to call “hate” even though the blacks were shouting racially-based slogans.
Thought crimes proscribe a special status to one race over the other. There are already ample laws against various crimes. If they are applied evenly and fairly, justice is served. Laws based upon racist concepts can only have racist enforcement.
Here is something else to ponder: Here in the “Land of the Free” we have many more laws than they do in Communist China. I’ve been there. I know this for a fact. Why do we need ANY more laws? We’re already way past tyranny as it is.

"In theory the bill is a good thing."
Not even in theory is "hate crimes" good legislation. They presume that the judge or jury or the blind law can read minds. They presume something about the accused. Justice can never be served when "the system" can presume anything in the case. Justice is served only by exposure of the facts and deliberation of a jury.
This Nations is no longer the "Land of the Free". There is a regulation for everything you can think of, and more besides. Existing laws are not only sufficient, but overwhelming. You need to read the documentation produced by the Founders; for, that will give you a better perspective of what tyranny looks like, and how it comes to be.

"(sorry it's considered racist to say "black" now)"
They were called "Negroes" until the "negroes" demanded to be called "blacks". Now I call them "blacks". I'm not PC, and I don't change wording for people who can't seem to make up their minds.

Hate crimes aren't commited against whites? You must live in an area where crime rate is low, so I think you're a bit naive on this subject because if you are white and you happen to be driving into a neighborhood this is majority black, or even hispanic there's a very good chance you will be confronted. When whites get attacked, it doesn't become news of a hate crime, it just becomes news of a random mugging. But when it's a black person, then it becomes headline news for the exact same situation. I don't know why it is this way, but it simply is. I'm not saying that when a white enters a black neighborhood, he gets attacked or taunted all the time, but it happens a lot more than you realize. Also, when a white person who is a victim of a hate crime tries to bring of charges of that, that person pretty much gets laughed at. Equality hasn't been achieved, just reverse segregation.

Screw PC, I still call blacks, black and very few don't express that they are offended by it. Most prefer to be called black cause they don't consider themselves "African-American" because they aren't from Africa, nor have they ever been there. So many blacks are smart of enough to look past all of that garbage. It is interesting you brought up the term "African-American" because it is amusing to everyone outside of American. I have a black friend that is from England, and when he visits he can't help but chuckle when people refer to him as African American.
He would respond like this, "But I'm English. I was born there, raised
there, and live there, how could I be African if I'm not from there, and how can I be American if I only visit here a couple times a year?" Some people's reaction would be blank because they don't know what to say to that, and some blacks give him a dirtly look. Same thing when anyone from some part of Africa often ask blacks what part of Africa they come from but they would just say "oh I'm African-American, my ancestors came from there" but they obvioulsy have no idea that Africa is not a country but a continent that has countries in there.
This bill may have good intentions, but it looks like something else to further this mindless nonsense. Whites will be excluded from this with some exceptions to just appear fair, but I can see blacks bringing a white to court for a hate crime, even though they are the ones that attacked him/her randomly and of course they would win almost all the time. I can see further unfair justice happening from this bill.

Here are some numbers compiled by the FBI in 2004 for your consideration...
www.fbi.gov...
Law enforcement agencies reported 4,863 offenses within single-bias incidents that were motivated by the offender’s racial bias.www.fbi.gov...
Among those offenses, 67.5 percent resulted from an anti-black bias, and 20.5 percent were due to an anti-white bias
Law enforcement agencies reported five bias-motivated murders. Three of those murders resulted from racial bias: two anti-white and one anti-black.
January 26, 2007 · In Long Beach, Calif., a juvenile court judge has convicted eight black girls and one boy of beating three young white women last year.www.npr.org...
One girl was acquitted of all charges. The defendants range between 12 and 18 years old. The racially charged case included allegations of witness intimidation. The attack happened last Halloween in an upscale mostly white neighborhood filled with trick-or-treaters.
Prosecutors called it a hate crime because they said the attackers hurled racial slurs at their victims.
Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Fortyfive percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.www.colorofcrime.com...

Those people on "To Catch a Predator" were charged for soliciting a minor for sex. Just like if you go and solicit a prostitute then you are committing a crime. It isn't thought crime you are committing a crime already. If those people had not shown up at that house they wouldn't have gotten caught, even though what they were doing is illegal.
Saying somebody committed a crime because of somebody's race is a thought crime. There is noway to prove that a person committed a crime because of the persons race, gender, sexual preference, etc. Unless they openly state that is why they did it.
Two totally different situations.
