Trump effect' led to hate crime surge

[Lenonis]

That is not a crime, that is just talking shit, which is free speech.

If someone went up to your asian friend and knocked her fuckin teeth out because shes asian, that would be a hate crime.

People attacking Trump supporters is not really a hate crime although you could technically consider it as "prejudice"

Yes...hence my using the term "crime" loosely.

The ACTUAL crimes after the election have been pretty low from what I can tell. I was more defining what I personally meant by "altercations motivated by hate" I guess?

[Stop Pretending]

Aren't you late for your regular prayer for your god emperor?

I didn't vote Trump. Better luck next time.

[Draco-Onis]

I'm agnostic, care to try again buttercup? Also, I didn't vote Trump. Better luck next time.

uhuh sure you didn't.

wow, seriously?

hate crime
noun

a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence.

[Stop Pretending]

uhuh sure you didn't.

I've stated numerous times on these forums I'd prefer four more years of Obama. So, run along princess.

[Steve French]

LMAO

I LOVE that the photo they're using on the article of the swastica graffiti was debunked by the BBC themselves the other week in an article suggesting that a lot of these attacks weren't really happening.

The graffiti in question (like most of it I'd wager) was done by some democrat supporters to make a statement about Trump.

Remember the other one last week, where they couldn't even draw a correct swastika? Damn thing looked like 2 diamonds, I'm sure those white supremacists that are causing all this trouble just forgot how to draw a super complicated swastika.

I remember those threads. Which makes people doing the same thing immediately for Trump really stupid. But who cares about doing things you called stupid the last 8 years.

Moral Equivalence, that's all they have these days. They know its wrong and dishonest, but the same can be said about most of their tactics.

Yet he won the Rust Belt which Romney hadn't. That fact alone proves your theory false.

those are just dumb hicks in fly over states they really don't matter to the wanabe intellectuals.

The problem with how 'hate crimes' are used is that people count things like racist graffiti/vandalism towards the hate crime statistics. If nobody is hurt and the act itself isn't a felony (like committing arson), then why should it be counted as a hate crime? It is disgusting for somebody to deface a church with a racist symbol, but it is absurd to equate vandalism to lynching somebody or even committing assault.

Show me some anti-white bullying, discrimination, oppression, suppression and economic exclusion.

This ones pretty damn easy, though a little backwards.

Economically, it's currently unwise to keep less than a certain % of minorities in your business. There are also numerous advantages towards shifting ownership of said businesses to minorities. Tax cuts can reach as high as 50% by simply hiring a black woman and shifting your business from a man to a woman. That's literally what we did and our business taxes dropped by an absolutely disgusting amount. It was such a drop - it was literally cheaper to hire a minority than to not have anyone on the payroll. Federal Tax Incentives are racist as hell against white people. Seriously, we turned down someone who was more qualified, with more experience, and hired somebody who had never done the job, because it was THAT much cheaper. gud jurb 'merica.

And this isn't a one-time event, either. Tax cuts are MASSIVE for minority businesses and hiring minorities. You could even get GRANTS from the government in some states. GRANTS. They pay YOU for hiring a minority. That's..completely inane.

As for the rest, even 10 seconds on google will show you what you're looking for. There's a problem with that thought, though. What does it matter if there are anti-white bullies? There are black supremacists as there are whites - there's honestly probably more if you ignore the Aryan Brotherhood(a primarily prison gang). Discrimination happens to EVERYONE from EVERY walk of life - hell, the SJWs regularly put down "those dirty cisgendered scumbag men". That doesn't really prove anything, though. Biases happen to EVERYONE who is different from a group. Not a gamer? You probably have some biases towards gamers. Not an SJW? You probably have a bias against them, etc. That doesn't automatically make you a racist, you just may be ignorant and biased. There's a big jump from "Tattoos are associated with the Japanese Yakuza, so everybody with Tattoos worry me" and "I think everyone of every race but mine should die or are second class citizens". But for some reason everybody wants to paint in extremes.

"Suppression" is a bit...off? I can't really gather what you mean by that. Voter suppression? It happened to both sides. It always does.

Everyone to the left is a communist, everyone to the right is Hitler. It's as if these people don't realize a vast majority of people fall closer to the middle, even if they don't realize it. Political views aren't a single line - they're dozens upon dozens of spectrums that all range greatly. Just because you believe abortion should be legal doesn't mean you also agree with the republicans view on taxation. Just because you believe abortion should be illegal doesn't mean you agree with Obama care.

Fuck identity politics, stop placing blame on anyone but the criminal and remember - we live in a nation of over 300,000,000 people. You can find a few dozen to do anything in anyones name. Just like I don't blame Hillary for protestors beating Trump-supporters to the hospital, you shouldn't blame Trump for racist activists acting in his name.

wow, seriously?

hate crime
noun

a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence.

A hate crime is a serious thing. You can be prejudice against people wearing T-shirts and jeans, road leathers, beenie hats, or "x" whatever. Ape shit soccer and hockey fans don't commit hate crimes when they are sluggin it out. Throwing in "other prejudice" is a piss poor definition but more over, socially irresponsible as it dilutes the seriousness nature of the offense.

They view him as their leader because hes ran on a platform that had a lot of racial bias.

If they view him as a leader as you say they do, they would have stopped it.

[Mormolyce]

Naughty! Naughty white supremacists! Quit it!

[gyrados]

rofl another trump hate thread op are u ok?

Shouldn't have put Hillary against him.

He got around the same number of votes that Mccain and Romney did, it was his opponent that gave him the presidency.

exactly they can be mad at trump winning but in the end its their fault should have chose a better candidate to run against em

How did I use whataboutism? Also thanks for the compliment, coming from you it's actually a good thing.

I get what you are trying to say, but vandalism IS a crime, and thus is makes sense to count it as a hate crime if the motivations fit the definition.

I suppose it could make sense to separate hate crimes into violent crimes and non-violent crimes. But just because no bones were broken doesn't mean the crimes committed were harmless and/or victimless.

[Deleted]

The crimes of beating white people just because voted on trump.

The crimes of people faking atacks and latter admiting

America was never entirely white in the first place. It's a nation of immigrants, ffs.

We should ship all those haters to a concentration camp where they would relearn history.
