Reverse Hate Crime

[commodore96]

When we all think of hate crime we think of White people abusing a "minority" group in the US. At the Wisconsin state fair a group between a dozen and hundreds of black youths brutally and unprovoked attacked white people (including women and children) at the fair. Due to the large amount of rioters they quickly moved out of the park and into the streets destroying cars. My question to you is that is this more/less/equal to a white on black hate crime even though it was the minority group rising up? What do you think of this incident?

I think white people should stop complaining about minorities.

Maybe, just maybe, we'll stop caring about race and just not give a general fuck about anything other than actual differences.

Whatever race, it's a fucking crime. End it at that.

I think phrases like "reverse racism" and "reverse hate crime" are racist terms themselves. Racism is racism no matter who is being racist and who it's being aimed at.

I dont give a f**k what way aound the crime is, it's wrong.

My mum got jumped by 4 black guys whilst she was carrying me back when we used to live in London, because she was white and because she had a black friend (who was also beaten for having a white friend) she almost lost me, my family had to move out of that part of London soon after, mostly because the hate crime was the "wrong way around", the poilce could do nothing (26 years ago, I doubt the result would be the same now)

"Reverse hate crime".

Does that mean crimes against someone because you love their race?

I used that title because when 95% of Americans think of a hate crime it is things like the KKK and segregation.

White people arn't the only people capable of hate crimes.

EDIT: One of the reports says the violence wasn't racially motivated. Mostly African-american teens fighting other african-american teens.

I know why you said it. I'm just pointing it out because it seems to be a generally accepted form of racism that has been ingrained into society, at least in the U.S.

It also expressed my opinion on your real question. Racism is racism no matter what.

Then it wouldn't be a hate crime, it'd be a love crime (crimes of passion?).

It upsets me that when I use my fool-proof excuse for losing: "This game is racist", Everyone says that's impossible because I'm white.

BLACK VS WHITE IS JUST AS RACIST AS WHITE VS BLACK.

Hate=Hate
Insult=Insult
Murder=Murder.

This sounds like it was a riot that just happened to happen in a primarily black-populated area that involved white victims among others. If so, you should probably try not to jump the gun on pulling the race card when you're in the majority.

If it isn't, then they're dickbags just like everyone else who commits crimes based on race.
