Hate Crime Ignored by Police and Media Because Victim Not a Member of a "Protected Class"

Tony's Kansas City and The KC Red Star get together to declare the viscous attack on a young boy by two thugs simply because the boy was white not a hate crime.

Why?  Because the boy is not a member of a protected class and "while such crimes may be the result of racial prejudice, they do not constitute actual racism per se, because a hate crime against a member of a group that is superior in the power hierarchy by a member of one that is inferior cannot be racist."

I'm sure that young white boy felt real superior when the two older black kids were pouring gasoline on him and setting his face on fire while yelling, "this is what you get, white boy!"

Update: Found this great quote over at TKC:

Anonymous wrote:
The "power structure" in the area where the incidents occurred include:

1) The area has a predominantly non-white general population
2) Both elected officials in city government from that council district are black.
3) The Mayor is black
4) The Police Chief is black
5) The US Congressman is black
6) The US Preident is black

How much more of the "power structure" must be non-white for this crime to be considered a hate crime?

This kid's dad is reporting that he will not send his kid back to that high school and that he wants to move out. This type of stuff, though extreme in this particular case, is what has caused white flight and what will continue to lead whites and Asians, with the means to do so, to relocate to areas without a substantial black presence.

The government, media, law enforcement and whoever can continue to under report crimes like this and tell us that they don't constitute hate crimes because of this or that reason. But the reality is whites, liberal hypocrites and others, are letting everyone know how they really feel by the choices they make in where to live and where to send their kids to school. I just feel bad for the whites and Asians who don't have the means to get away.

From TKC:

From the NY Daily News:

"They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open," Coon told KMBC. "(One of them) poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, 'This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.'"


Apparently the KC Star is censoring this story big time:


Surprise, surprise.
