So he counts, then, right? Still a hate crime because he is freinds with other black kids?
I was kind of with you guys at first but your unabated racism is pulling me away.
Which is where the discussion fails across the board.
We have to stop focusing on race. Being black didn't cause these kids to commit this crime. Their culture and environment enabled them.
But too many figureheads push it to race. Come out and say that rap music, thug culture, and "being from the hood" attitudes are the cause for such crime? Then you're racist.
Thug black guys and thug white guys do this shit every day. Multiple times a day. Across America, turn on the 10pm news, you'll have dead bodies and inner city "thug" guys did the shooting. Yes, it's mostly black but that's because it is their culture.
