EastCoastNiner Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I know that Barack Obama signed it at the end of October, but what do you guys think of it? Basically, if a black person beats a white person or gay person, it's a "normal" crime, but if a white person beats a black person or gay person, they now get additional "hate crime" charges against them. Damn, you've got to love the liberals. . It's really funny considering that Senator Byrd was a KKK leader, is is the longest serving Senator.

Flash Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 LOL because blacks aren't racist at all right? It's a shame that people who aren't black have to be "politically correct" nowadays as opposed to blacks in the mainstream media who are racist all the time and get away with it. Just the way things work with the liberals I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 The only problem I have with is this scenario. Lets say two white couple were walking down an alleyway, and got jumped by some "thugs", and prosecute them. Two gay couples were walking down an alleyway, and jot jumped by some "thugs", they get to prosecute them to a greater extent. How is that fair?

reno Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 When did thugs become all black? Should probably do some research on the word, also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee I don't know, when did thugs become all black? And wiki says thug-A thug in Modern English means a violent and/or anti-social person, including:Thug, a person, often a criminal, who treats others violently and roughly, especially for hire. Often a member of a gang, as an enforcer in organized crime What I was simply stating in my post was basically, a wild man who attacks a straight couple would get a lesser prosecution from the law than if he attacked a gay couple. Why should the sexual orientation matter? Its the same attack. Same charges should be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 So basically the OP comes up with B.S. propaganda and starts a topic. That's not what the Hate Crime Bill says at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 lol no it doesn't. At all. So, you're trying to tell me that it does not say that if a white person attacks a black person, hate crime charges can't be filed, and if a black person attacks a white person, hate crime charges can't be filed? It's not even a question, it's a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
