I'll explain my point for a third time. That tweet demonstrated pretty well that the kid in question is racist against most whites. That's not in dispute - but just because the guy is a racist doesn't necessarily mean that the dead man was targeted because of his race. Were that demonstratably the case, his charges would reflect a hate crime.

I'll see your case of racial violence, and raise you the murder of James Craig Anderson:

We could go back and forth all day posting competing cases of racist attacks. White on black, black on white, and every other colour on every other colour. I'm not sure what exactly that would prove, except that a minority of people of every race are violent, racist morons.
Your saying that only blacks target/kill only whites with race-based violence is absurd.

On a serious note...parents need to be arrested also. I have no sympathy for the people who are unaware that their child is a maniac...

I'm not sure if you're insuinating that black people don't get charged with hate crimes when the evidence to support the charge is there, but if you are, then that's simply not true. They absolutely do.

I'm not insinuating, I am telling you, short of those boys telling the police "We picked him because he was white", they aren't going to dig deeper, lest it "inflame" people.
There is quite the double standard when it comes to hate crimes. I just ask that it be enforced equally. Like you yourself said, there are racists of every skin color. Not sure where you live, but I have seen easily dozens of times where the race of the person, whether it be black or white, was a major factor in a crime being committed.
Duncan police chief Dan Ford said he had not yet seen Edwards’ social media activities.
“I don’t think there’d be any further charge,” he told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a phone interview when asked if Edwards’ activities warranted any sort of hate crime charge. “I’m not discounting the stuff that’s on there, but they do that for shock and effect.”

Really? You are going to jump into this thread? You may as well BE Al Sharpton with the number of posts you made about whites and racism on every thread about it that has come up recently. Too bad you are so biased by your political views.....you might actually make a good debater save the fact that you are so one-sided you can't be even the slightest bit objective.

According to the FBI, that's patently untrue. In their hate crime report for 2011, 59% of hate crime offenders were white, while just 20.9% were black. Now, those are the figures for 2011 but they were the latest I could find - and I hardly think they could have changed so dramatically in a couple of years to reflect your claims.
