So many smart people here today.  I know what a hate crime is.  What this crime is though is not national news just because a white guy decided to use a taboo word.  My point was plenty of gangsters shoot each other on a daily basis, is there a national drop box for that.  Or is it just when an ignorant white guy says something stupid?   Can I have a drop box for everytime a black guy yells "n---a across the super market to his friend?  Or accuses a cop of being racist because he arrests his cousin for beating the hell out of his wife?  Plenty of examples, how come no forum for all that?
