We live in a "victim" society. Everyone but white men are officially "victims." I have noticed that a lot of the "hate" crimes reported are perpetrated by the victim themselves. Apparently we oppressors do not victimize the victims frequently enough. The lates is the black fireman who "found" a noose in his locker. This "hate crime" got a lot of publicity, but has now been exposed as a hoax. Many of this type of "hate crime" turn out to be a hoax.
