Criminals...
What makes a person a criminal ?I think it's worth discussing. I believe it's the person's mindset and their belief system. A person's race has nothing to do with it. So there are black criminals, white criminals, asian criminals, American-Indian and Australian aborigines who are criminals. Likewise you have victims of all races.So why the claim by some that the killing of the young couple here was a hate crime ? It wasn't. I believe it was simply a matter of greed and opprotunity.The young people were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The victims could have been of any race and their race was not a relevant factor in the minds of the perpertrators. It was they were there, alone and in a place where they could be taken hostage without anyone seeing it happen. The victims could have been black and it wouldn't have deterred the perpertrators.
I don't like all the racists coming out and saying hateful things about blacks because of this case.The case is tragic.My heart goes out to those young people who lost their lives and to their families.But to have the racists come out, like cockroaches coming out at night, is dishearteneing and discouraging. It shows how uneducated those people are. It shows, as MLK Day is here, that we have a very long way to go and conservatives who say that race is not a problem in this country are simply blind to reality.
