"Hate" Crime?

The phrase "hate crime" seems to have been coined as a tool to further supress free speech and freedom of thought.

Take, for example, one case where someone told a radio phone-in that gay men should not be able to adopt or foster children. This person was arrested by police for committing a "hate crime". That is rubbish - since when has voicing a genuine, valid concern, which many people have, been a "crime"? You can bet that if someone was trying to kill you and you called the police they would not have the manpower to come and help you, but go and say that gay men should not adopt children and every copper this side of the Pennines will be there to arrest you.

The event I have just mentioned did not happen in Scarborough, but it could do. North Yorkshire Police have set up a mobile hate crime reporting unit, just to report crimes against gays, ethnics and others.

Will those people whose lives are made a misery by gangs of knife-wielding Somali asylum seekers be able to report that as a "hate crime"? Or would it be a racist "hate crime" to even consider reporting these immigrant criminals to the police?

Yes, whites too are victims of racism but the media likes to gloss this over and present white people as the villains in every case.

I suggest the readers of this blog look up the names Gavin Hopley, Sean Whyte, Kriss Donald, Ashley Hedger, Christopher Yates and Richard Whelan (to name a few) if you believe that only blacks and Asians are victims of racist crime, and that all racists are automatically white.
