Behold everyday moonbat mental gymnastics: to on one hand believe that the legal system is unequal and needlessly punitive and at the same time advocating for excessively long punishments for white thought crime.

Every white on black crime is now treated as a potential hate crime and sensationalized as such regardless of evidence to the contrary (clear evidence such as libel cases being won against media companies pushing a false narrative).

Meanwhile legitimate racial-bias crimes against white victims are essentially never a hate crime by design even when the perpetrator is overtly racist to the point where they’re yelling racial slurs and/or have a history of posting racial tirades online. When people found Frank James YouTube account, the NY Times wrote “the shooting suspect left troubling videos online”. They intentionally buried the lede - being a black nationalist is more than “troubling”.

The criteria for a hate crime in various states essentially codifies the bar as lower for certain groups and higher for others. If the noble idea is to dissuade interracial and racially/ethnically/religiously/sexuality motivated crime, shouldn’t all hate crimes be punished accordingly? Shouldn’t we be able to look up simple things like what groups are committing interracial crimes without nefarious intervention from those who believe access to the data itself would might make people racist (this was literally the stated reason SF wouldn’t various info on BART transit crimes).
