Hi,  I'm doing a project and I wanted to get some of your thoughts and opinions of why hate crimes on minorities occur, especially in places like Europe.  My friend took a trip to New Orleans, was down on Bourbon Street and got into a fight with 2 Black guys(they started it), got charged with a hate crime for defending himself against 2 Black thugs. Isn't that some shi#? :rolleyes: These so-called hate crime laws are only intended for White people, they almost never charge a non-White with a hate crime for attacking a White person. But if a White guy tries to defend himself from some Black thugs or gets into a bar brawl with some loud mouthed crap talking negroes and ends up kicking their ass, it becomes a hate crime and he gets a much harsher sentence. :rolleyes: BS!
