There really shouldn't be hate crimes.

Beat someone down, go to jail. Thinking something hateful about a group of people while they murder someone doesn't make it less of a murder.

I agree, but there are, and they only seem to apply to white people.

Crime is bad because of the action. Not because of the mindset or rationale behind it. "Hate crimes" are the nonsensical stuff of Big Brother's wet dreams.

This is true. There were laws on the books for assault long before we thought it would nice to attach race to it. It really is an unnecessary thing we have created.

Agree. The existence of hate crimes only serves to divide and worsen race relations. See this thread for example...one instance isn't labeled a hate crime and one side is pissed off. If it's labeled a hate crime the other side is pissed off.

Just label it a crime and be done with it.
