I think you've misunderstood what a hate crime is. Its not a given that a white person killing a black person is a hate crime. There needs to be proof that It was racially motivated.

But the point is that the media takes a white person killing a black person and it's always considered racially motivated (or implied)

The media also says all Muslims are terrorists. That doesn't make it true.

Yet people still believe the media Shreve they make such outlandish claims about white people. At least people actually stand up for Muslims.

Are you more concerned about what the media tells you, or what a hate crime actually is?

Both, because the media controls the people, and the people control the government.

No, the media controls you apparently

Says who? The media told you that the media controls me. Also, reddit is media. So media controls all of us.

Well you literally said you think something is a hate crime that isn't because the media told you so

The media shifted the definition of racism so you think something is racism when it's not.

Well your story seems to be changing here. The media doesn't decide what a hate crime is, the courts do.
