    I think it's easier for democrat politicians to further exaggerate the claims of white supremacy instead of address actual problems are communities face that they just have no answer for. Instead of fixing black neighborhoods and working with blacks on the culture problem in our country, they are just trying to find scape goats and continue with the status quo. Easier that way.

    I've made no such claims. I only speak for myself.

    I snicker that your criticism is that it won't pass, not that it's abhorrent.

    The First Amendment is only as strong as a society that thinks that's important. I'm not sure that describes current society and I don't see how that corrects itself in the future.

    To prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.
    ENDSNIP

    I don't find that the least bit abhorrent although it seems a bit redundant to me, since the statute it seeks to amend already lists race and color as reasons to treat something as a hate crime

    EDIT - See Post #101 from @Pro_Line_FL.... I concur with that 100%

    I snicker that this requested change to that law is being discussed as a possible 1A violation....

    Best thing they can do for now is expose the leadership for corruption by investigating the president and his shady connections.

    Not sure if the black culture problem will ever change. I don't think either party has a solution at this point.

    In your opinion, what is white supremacy? These days, thanks to Obama, everything is attributed to white supremacy, racism or cultural appropriation, even black conservatives are called black white supremacists.

    Let’s face it, every culture seems to do something better than other cultures. Thatwhites do a lot of things better than others should not be a reason to drag whites down, it should be an incentive for everyone else to try harder.

    It would still violate the 1st Amendment.

    In my business, there's one particular race I've found to be basically useless and they used the race card for their poor job performance. Am I a Racist, because I don't want the headache of hiring one of those fools again, NOPE! I'm just a smart businessman that learns from mistakes.

    Yeah it would be, but I don't think that's an issue for you.

    Fox posted an article about this and it’s sickening. They are trying to silence whites or any pride in the lit race or heritage. I’m proud to be white and I’m not ashamed of it. Our culture is a great culture that has lead the world to where it is today. Modern society would not have been possible at all without European cultures.

    Now all we need is the methodology used and who decided what was a hate crime, and we need to know the stats on unknown offenders, which are probably the vast majority.

    Why are you so upset about someone leaving the Klan?

    I'm sorry that you think that objective reality is "spin." But, hey, if we adopt your logic, then I have to assume that anyone who voted for Trump supported the things that he used to support and changed his mind about. See how dumb that is?

    Hell, you are apparently so old that you remember back when Byrd was a KKK member!

    LOL - Perhaps, she was trolling herself by submitting a bill that would trick herself into voting to violate the Constitution and her oath of office?

    You are monumentally confused about George Zimmerman. He tracked down Martin because he was black and killed him in the fight that ensued.

    Then, an all white jury failed to find him guilty of anything.

    I'm very sure that was seriously upsetting to a population that is regularly shot by whites for reasons of simply existing as black people without there being justice.

    David Duke and Robert Byrd both left the Klan, only one of them filibustered the civil rights act and voted against confirmation of two black Supreme Court justices years after "leaving".

    At the time, the president of the local chapter of the NAACP had this to say about the Senator’s filibuster:

    "The one-man talkathon staged by Sen. Byrd for 14 hours last night and this morning indicates the extent to which a mind warped with hate and prejudice will go — even in the hallowed halls of Congress.

    Sen. Byrd has not only done his state and our nation a great disservice, but has in addition exposed his family and friends to great embarrassment. The shame and stigma that attaches to his continuing acts against civil rights legislation is positive evidence that he is still a present-day advocate of the principles of the Ku Klux Klan.

    The sooner he is removed from the public and political scene, the better chance democracy will have to survive in America and the free world."

    In 1964, 59 years ago, someone I do not know did something and hence that justifies my current views.......
