The Hate That Dare Not Speak Its Name
(AmericanThinker.com) In Kansas City on Wednesday, "two older teens" followed a "13-year old boy" walking home from school. When the 13 year-old reached his front porch, the teens grabbed him, pinned his arms, poured gasoline on him, and set him on fire. The boy managed to pull his shirt off and pat the fire out, and the parents rushed him to the local children's hospital.
As seen on local TV news, although not obvious in the accompanying article, the parents are white. So is the boy. "We were told it's a hate crime," the boy's mother told the reporter. "They essentially followed him home, they told him he got what he deserved. He's 13 years old." Without the mother's reference to the hate crime, the viewer/ reader would have no sense that the attackers were likely of another, unspecified race.
Not surprisingly, the racially squeamish Kansas City Star did not include this story in the "Start Smart 10 hot topics" it sent out on Thursday morning. Nor could I find it among the 50 or so stories posted on the front page of its web site, several of which had to do with fires, like "KC Man accused of setting fire to friend's Habitat House." Of course, had the victim been a racial minority or gay, this would have been headline news locally or even nationally.

ReplyDeleteNo one should be surprised. Eric Holder, in defending the hate crime's bill before Congress in 2009, said that the bill would only apply to "certain groups that have been targeted for the color of their skin, their sexual orientation". He said the bill would not cover other groups with no "historical basis" as a targeted group. We are not all equal under the law, as our country professes. And we are no longer treated as individuals under the law but as members of "groups" with justice doled out according to your group. This is a corruption of justice, not an antidote to past wrongs. Please get to know your representatives and contact them when these bills come up.... and they are coming up fast and furious with this Administration.
