If a white guy gets into a fight with a black guy for whatever reason, and he happens to use a racial slur out of anger, that white guy could face up to 10 years in prison.

How is that not a thought crime?
This is not a road we should be heading down as a nation.
Also, when's the last time anyone was actually lynched?
Is there an epidemic of lynchings today that justify this kind of bill?

This entire thing has become nothing but an absurd political circus.

There’s some kind of crazy feeding frenzy going on, and every leftist is jumping on the bandwagon. They were willing to literally destroy this country if it meant getting trump defeated, and if that means convincing the brainwashed masses that we have a massively racist country and that police forces are SS officers hunting down blacks, they’re all for it.

NO attempt to rebuild the cities until after the verdict. Otherwise, if the verdict doesn’t go the way the race-baiters want, they will kick it back up for more destruction.

The term "white" as a descriptor should also be a racial slur.

"I ain't working with no white man!"
"What you gonna do white boy!"
"Get your white ass out of my face!"

Any legislation passed during this crisis is likely to be overreaching and unconstitutional, which is exactly why the left will push to pass as much as possible.

That's funny! I'm sure you know that only whites can be racist.

We should not have a 10 year prison sentence for someone who slaps another because they shouted a racial slur.

Just like when they pass new gun control legislation right after a mass shooting. They pass laws on emotions, not merit.

That sounds pretty crazy. I'd like to see the text of the bill.

We're going to turn into a society where everyone is accusing everyone else of racism over the littlest of things.
