Yes, I do realize that that may not be the stance from every black/white person, thats why I said TV. Other than that, I mostly agree with what you responded to me with.

Hate crime laws are only obscene if the crime isn't motivated by group-specific hate. Some women's rights and rape victims rights activists were/are angered by the fact that this was being approached as a hate crime. Their main argument is that rape is about power regardless of race, sexual orientation, or social class. This would essentially make all rape cases "hate crimes" since women are most often the targets. That's a whole new topic that I won't be discussing any further.
Sorry to break it to you, but the perception of racial impropriety will make a racialized country such as this view such issues with a racial lens. Some people will verbalize it, some people will just THINK it but verbally deny the existence of it, and the remainder will be perfect human beings who don't use socio-demographics to categorize anything. The last category constitutes about <1% of humanity and even this is often based on group position.
Moving on.
