It simply undermines hate crime legislation. This is not what hate crime legislation was meant for. When you use hate crime legislation for anything and everything, you will lose support for it. And that's not what I want, and I guess that's not you're goal, either. It's supposed to be used for real hate crime.

So then why not simply address the legal point of contention? Why is it all of a sudden a sad day for me and the black community?

See, this is all you had to say.

The whole "sad day for me and the black community" race card should have been left in the deck, face down.

Nope. Just the ones who can't disagree with me without going off on tangential rants about how sad a day it is for me and the black community.
