Racism and "Hate Crimes"

On the night of June 27, Marty Marshall and his family were standing outside a friend’s home in Akron, OH. The group had gathered to watch a fireworks display at nearby Firestone Park, the festive night ended suddenly, when the family as well as their friends were brutally attacked by a group of nearly 50 black teenagers

Where was Obama's righteous indignation when this atrocity occured? Where was the national media, oh yeah, they were reporting about the poor daycampers in Philidelphia who lost their place to swim. The police say they are not sure if this was gang activity, so they are not ready to declare it a hate crime.

Marty says the boys were all chanting while attacking. "They just kept chanting and yelling out", said Marshall.

"A couple of them said 'This is a black world' and the other ones sat there and were saying 'This is our world'.

Sounds pretty racially motivated to me. A while back my friend got into an argument with a neighbor who happened to be Mexican. The dispute was over lawncare and property boundaries, however during the course of the argument my friend in his infinite wisdom used several racial epithets. The police were called and things were ended before they went too far. One of the officers who arrived on the scene told my friend that if the situation had come to blows he could have been charged with a hate crime because of the things he said during the altercation.

As far as I am concerned every crime is a hate crime, you don't commit a crime against somebody you like or respect. Why are we wasting our time debating the severity of the same crime committed by different people? How about if we just put all the criminals away for their crimes, and get on with our damn lives.

This kind of lopsided justice can't work anywhere. This is simply another case of political correctness in sheeps clothing. If it's really true that Jewish families have cornered the market on guilt, then white Americans must be running a close second. You simply cannot enforce racial harmony. I will never like beets, and some people will never get along, no law will change either of those things. The best we can do is make the laws equal for everyone across the board.

In the old days children were were taught valuable lessons through folk tales, I think I have a new one for the coming generations, it's called "The boy who cried racism".
