In light of the situation in Missouri, or even because of the situation in Missouri, there seems to be an increase in violent attacks on mostly whites around the country. The thug popular "knock out " game has seen an increase lately.
Why aren't these seen as hate crimes by the current administration, and why hasn't Eric 'I'm goin' to Missouri" Holder approached these virulent acts with the same enthusiasm he seems to show for the Brown tragedy?

Hate crimes are crimes inflicted on blacks by whites only. It does not work the other way around.
They also can be referred to as "thought crimes".

Statistics my friends, Statistics!
They, FBI, Government and states do not want to be labeled as "the best place to receive a Hate Crime Attack". Statistic!!
Take the Fort Hood incident where a "terrorist" killed and wounded many. Why wasn't that labeled a Hate Crime? Why wasn't it labeled a Terrorist attack? No, to keep statistics down it was charged as a Work Place Violence incident!
And you know what? President Bill Clinton disarmed ALL military personnel on military bases except for the Military Police that guard the gates!?? Go figure that one out too!
Go figure indeed!!

Another white liberal comes to the rescue with more Government statistics ...has anyone stopped to think that 90% of the people rioting in Ferguson arent even from Missouri?

Probably true, but I would like to know where you get your data?
I believe that a lot of those jokers would drive 1000 miles to participate in a free riot, after all, they don't have to go to work the next day!

It's not a statistic that will be publicized so I don't know how you will come up with an exact number but I'm willing to bet, of all the people that has been arrested so far, a lot more than half will be outside of Missouri.

This is one side of the controversy you wont see much in the main stream media. The caption reads; Resident John West, left, hands a rose to a police officer on Tuesday, showing his appreciation with help in cleanup efforts in Ferguson, Mo. Dangerous protests continued overnight as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets, shots were reportedly fired by people in the crowd and crowds failed to disperse. As you can see, it doesn't always have to be one sided. Photograph by Mark Kauzlarich/Reuters. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Jackson and Sharpton are going to have a field day with this one.

It's the same with language too: A black can call another black a nigger in everyday conversation, but a white cannot call a black a nigger without serious problems.
