should not be an entire classification of criminal activity based on what may or may not be the motive for the crime.
It’s a cracker kills a colored guy, it’s almost certainly a hate crime.
But even if a camel jockey screens allah Akbar when he blows up a school, or a colored guy screams death to whitey while he stabs certain people on the street, those people will be found to have a “long history of mental disorders”.
No hate involved. It’s not even their fault. They are sick, they need our help and understanding.
