Hate crimes are racist. Not the crime but the term itself. Hate Crimes only enforce the idea that races are so different that they need different treatments. Something tells me though that if the black man had went to the white mens' houses and harassed them they wouldn't have charged him with a hate crime because that would make the courts look racist. Its foolish the way that people are so completely scarred shitless to say anything to a black man because they might look racist. Where I used to work, a white man flipped off his supervisor and was fired. The next week a black man threw a book at him and threatened to kill him. He got moved to a different part of the building instead. Now its to the point where if ANYONE accuses a black man of ANYTHING he says "its because I'm black" and he instantly gets off of the hook.
STOP ENFORCING THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE SO DIFFERENT AND RACIAL BIGOTRY WILL STOP GETTING SO OUT OF HAND!
For example, this came from the US Justice Department in 1995:
-Most victims of race crime—about 90 per cent—are white
So... how many blacks do you see getting charged with hate crimes?
