@JLeslie No. Screaming would not have happened, because no one would have been attention whoring, crying, “He was only killed because he was white!”
I’ll tell you something true right now, that many other people won’t say, simply because they are afraid of being labeled a racist. Most whites don’t dislike blacks because they’re black; they dislike them because many black people play the race card far too often and scream about injustice when there is none present. Many whites dislike blacks, because by their actions and their words many in the black community will bring racism upon themselves, then bitch about it and blame it on everyone else.
I don’t dislike blacks. I dislike thugs, be they white, black, hispanic or fucking elvish. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a big stink in the news over a murdered drug dealin’, gang bangin’ thug who happens to be black, and you see his mama sobbing, “My sweet boy was targeted because he was black.” No, you’re in fucking denial, he was killed because he wasn’t “sweet” and he made really shitty choices. Get your facts straight before you cry about why he’s dead.
Do I sympathize with any mother who loses a child, regardless of whether or not said child was a drug dealer/rapist/thug etc…? Yes I do. But I want those mothers to open their damn eyes and quit claiming that their kid was innocent and quit claiming that it was because of racism. Do you see a lot of Hispanics or Indians on the news, crying racism when one of their own has been killed because of their idiotic lifestyle? No, you really don’t. You see that sort of thing coming from some morons in the black community who will use their skin color as a trump card, every damn chance they get.
Blacks and whites share the fault in about a 50/50 split these days, and until the blacks at fault for it stop perpetuating it themselves, by their own actions and words, the whites at fault never will.
So, is there a racial double standard for “hate crimes”? You bet your ass there is, because we, the whites of America, are still the evil oppressors and we always will be.
