On Juneteenth (for non-Texans, that is 19 June, the date slavery ended in Texas as opposed to 8 May for the rest of the US; for some reason Juneteenth is now celebrated over the entire country) a bunch of black guys beat a Latino man to death down in Austin for no real reason. (The Latino was a passenger in a car that stuck a black child, who was uninjured.) The police say it was not a hate crime. I suppose that makes sense since hate crime laws only apply to straight white males. Personally I think hate crime laws are stupid, and are another example of liberals who want to do something symbolic to show their moral superiority. It is already against the law to murder someone, for example, so what is gained by having a hate crime law? It is obvious that hate crime laws are aimed squarely at straight white males, since they are the only people ever charged with violating them, so the Supreme Court should strike the laws down.
