Hate crimes bill = division places more value on certain groups than others, when the constitution states we are all to be treated equally.
HR1913
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1913
Its already illegal to murder, assault, kidnap, etc anyone in all 50 states, so whats the only difference?
MONEY!
Do you think its possible that federal funds to be given for hate crimes might influence politicians, DA and law enforcement?
YES we have seen this in our history.
So instead of justice for all, we might just end up creating a bigger problem and infringing the rights of other citizens?
Things that make you say hmmmm...
Here are some words to consider...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

@greg357159 this country was never stolen! lay off the peace pipe. the loosely organized and backwards 3rd world-like indians didnt even understand the concept of ownership of property. or is it the mexiscums whom we so easily defeated in battle? well, the europeans from spain would say the mexiscums stole the sw usa and mexihole from spain. if this country ever becomes administrated by predominately non-whites and non-asians, the infrastructure will surely collapse, . thanks

why is it worse for a white man to commit premeditated murder against a black man, than it is for the same guy to commit premeditated murder against another white man? That's what makes the bill wrong. Murder, is murder. Have you EVER heard of someone, who wasn't white, being charged with a hate crime against a white person? Probably not, because apparently only white people can be racist, and that's BS!

By your logic, there should be no degree of punishment, only one punishment for any particular crime. For instance, a person who plans out a murder for months in advance against a person should be punished the same as a person who loses control and kills after catching their spouse cheating.

Hate Crime legislation is about equality because it protects a persecuted minority from being put down below others because of persecution from a prejudiced society.

So you think being born a homosexual makes you a pervert?

I'm sure you would. Just like you'd like me to post each individual section of this bill that shows all of your assumptions are wrong, but at some point you need to start doing you own research.
There are plenty of instances. I'm not going to waste time looking them up, but I'll point you in the right direction at least. Look up: Sarah Kreager
That is one instance of many.
The Jenna 6 is also an excellent example.
Do some research.

Of course you don't. You aren't interested in looking at it without bias...
