There is an inevitable backlash to the constant positioning of Beyonce as someone deemed “slighted” because she didn’t win an award. Should she be nominated in the future and win, does that mean it was merited or that she was given it to shut people up?

“

“‘There’s a history of great Black artists who come up for these awards and don’t win,’ the iconic filmmaker said.”

Whereas every single white person who’s every been nominated for an award has won it. Weird how that works.

Does this shithead understand that there are multiple nominees every year and that four out of…

Won’t someone think of Beyonce?!

Poor poor Beyonce.

? Don't get what you mean. I responded to thier statement and then ask if they lived in the first 2 countries that came to mind where this would have been in some way equivalent to US hate crime laws and have potentially been prosecutable.

Oh yeah, they are definitely being racist little shits. And while a public school might (it’s questionable I would think as I’ve seen public schools lose on banning stuff on campus but never any lawsuit over expulsion or suspension for racist behavior off campus) have some issues punishing them for out of school…

... nope

As it was pointed out, you have to commit a crime to commit a hate crime.

What a ridiculous response. Are you aware that the woman who sued for hot coffee only did so after being severely injured?

You didn’t tell anyone anything. You’re doing all this deflecting. You seem to think hate crime = being hateful.

Too much logic here.

1.) I’m mixed race. My mom is white and my dad is black, and I have spent much of my life fighting against racism and white privilege. The fact that I’m here telling you you’re wrong is poignantly how foolish you’re behaving.

Second to last paragraph talking about community response.

It’s not racism. It’s just a basic understanding of the law. These are fairly simple things here.

I didn’t agree or disagree with you on that.

Nope. Need an actual crime for the hate crime rider. Being a hateful dick in and of itself isn’t illegal.

It absolutely does according to court cases.

He is right, you know. The guy’s point is that the “hate crime” determination needs to stem from a criminal offense, which hasn’t been stipulated in this article.

all religion is bullshit anyway

Hope these girls like public school. Of course these are the Catholics so chances are they will just receive counselling and moved to another school. Hey. It worked for priests.
