In the past month, three historically black churches in Louisiana were destroyed by a racist arsonist. He has been charged with hate crimes.

There are so many good and kind people in this country willing to give and share with others when bad things happen. Let's not forget that fact.

Do you have a good source as to WHAT KIND of hate crimes the guy is being charged with?

From what I've read his beef was with the Baptist church, not with a race and you can get hit with hate crimes charges for either race or religion.

Not sure where you're getting your "racist arsonist" claim as I can't find anything to support the racist angle.

I tried looking around and wasn't finding any well written articles but I'm not surprised. I saw a news website the other day that had a "report misspellings here" feature because they can't even be bothered to get that right anymore....

New York Times article on the charges of hate crime regarding the suspect:

Hate crime is not the subject of this thread, however, mathguy.
