    Was racial hatred the motivation for these crimes?

    Considering the level of violence involved, and the lack of any other possible motive, one could assume that some sort of strong negative emotions were involved. But, obviously, it might not have been racial. Perhaps they just didn't like people who drive SUVs. :rolleyes:

      For those that prefer a site better equiped to handle hoaxes[^]: "However, the notion that every major news outlet in the U.S. (all of them competitive, profit-making businesses) has conspired to ignore what would otherwise be a compelling national story is rather implausible..."

      And the fact that OJ was clearly guilty didn't stop an all black jury from exonerating the slime bag.

        Nor me. I don't believe I've ever heard of the murder of a white person referred to as a 'hate crime' regardless of how obvious it was that race played a major role in both the crime as well as the level of violence used. Murder is murder, regardless of the emotions motivating it, and they should all be treated the same.

        I have, although to be honest I don't tend to follow crime reports so I don't know how representative that is.

            I don't know what you mean and I don't care. I have been around enough racists in my day to recognize one when I hear him. If it walks like one and quacks like one... As far as I can tell, the entire concept of racism is retarded and reveals the true nature of the person, retarded, mentally unbalanced, mentally handicapped, etc. At this point anything you say will be summarily dismissed.

                    Summarily dismiss this asshole: There is no such thing as race, there is only one human species and we are all members of it. Nothing I have posted here has been even in the most remote way "racist". What we do have in our society is a situation where evil non-thinking retards such as yourself are so desparate to have race as an issue that you will define any criticism of the script (ie - our society needs the socialistic left in order to be defended against white racism) as racism in order to maintain it. You're the racist. Blacks to you are nothing but a means to an end, no differnt than they were to the slave masters of old. You got 'em out on your little democrat plantation doing all the heavy political lifting for their new massa's You are incapable of honest debate. Oh, and you are also an idiot.

What the hell is: the entire concept of racism is retarded and reveals the true nature of the person, retarded, mentally unbalanced, mentally handicapped, etc. if not resorting to name-calling?

                        Somehow I'm actually pretty damn sure that any sort of criticsm of the script would represent "cafting my posts to hide my true nature".

                            A white man was carjacked, kidnapped, and then brutally murdered in Scotland a few years ago (I think, I'll try and find a news link). He was murdered by asians purely because he was white. No other reason. It was very clearly reported as a hate crime, in all the major news outlets, and I believe the judge stated as much as he handed down their life sentances.

                              Ah yes the "bravery card". You are just hiding behind that the same way all political assholes and cowards motivated by hate do, like Hitler did and the Islamic extremists do.

                              Well if you mean the status quo of non-racism then when someone makes a racist remark... uh yeah... what did you think would happen? What, you think just because you can couch your racially motivated agenda in intellectual language that differentiates you? You think someone must make a fried chicken remark to be recognized as a racist a**hole? No just like Farrakhan, at first he seemed intelligent and heading in a good direction. Then when his true agenda was revealed it became obvious he was just another racist, there is just no escaping it when you are one.

                                No, the issue is that you, as with all true believers, wish to silence any dissent against your ever so carefully crafted house of cards. Free speech is your worst enemy. Anytime any one starts getting close to the heart of the issues, you throw down the race card thus stopping any real debate. Well, dude, fuck your race card.

                                  How could one possibly know if those statistics are true or not? How could one possible know if this crime were committed precisely because this couple was white? It will not be added to the statistics as a hate crime because a hate crime was not charged by the authorities. Therefore, it was not a hate crime whether it really was or not. I'll stick to my anecdotes. I have never known the murder of a black by a white to not become associated somehow with the phrase 'hate crime', either by the authorities or the media, and I have never know the murder of a white by a black to be called anything but murder by anyone.

                                  This is what we suffer through for having slaves and treating them less than human. It will take quite some time for us to get to an equal setting as we've never really given an equal setting to other races. Maybe on paper but not in practice.

                                  This statement was never false.

                                    Thats just more bullshit. What could possibly define an 'equal setting', and how much more authority are we prepared to give the central federal state in order to achieve it? I find it greatly amusing that the very people who are outraged (outraged, I say) over someone tapping the phones of terrorists, find it a great thing that the very same government would define quotas to give otherwise less qualified people posistions and opportunities which they would otherwise not be entitled to based on actual merit. The irony of all this, is that the very best thing that could happen to the black community would be to live in a society free to be openly racist. In such a society, black achievment would not be based upon the largess of white leftists, but on actual ability. Freed from the shackles of a caretaker government, they could, and would, rise of their own accord and no longer have any need for our pathetic guilt ridden concepts of 'equal settings'.

                                      And the fact that OJ was clearly guilty didn't stop an all black jury from exonerating the slime bag.

                                        If five white thugs had done this[^]to a black couple, does anyone doubt that it would be in all the news as a vicious hate crime, and an indictment of our entire society?

                                          You are referring to civil war casualities, I take it. A rather curious form of moral accounting, all the more so when more than half the casualties were on the side of the anti-slavery North.
