There's is more presumption in your posts than I care for, personally. What do you know of the hardships or travails faced by other members or their families?
It's easy to champion those who are trumpeted in the media...as who doesn't like a cause celebre? But way before all the social media buzz there were all sorts of folks taking beatings, both physically and socially, whether they were Black, Irish, Jewish, Italian, Poles, Slavic, Gay, Gypsy (Roma), what have you. Let's not leave out Japanese citizens during WWII. Native Americans? Where do we start?
People have been subjugated, enslaved, murdered, tortured, denied rights, since the dawn of history. Everybody gets their chance at some point in time.
That's why many of us think "hate crimes" and designating certain groups as special cases with separate rules is a bad idea.
I'd like one set of rules for everyone...enforced judiciously...whether the violated suffered a pogrom, a lynching, being enslaved, raped, beaten or any other manner of violence for which no rational and civilized justification can be provided.
There's no need for special snowflakes if everyone is treated the same under the law. I think that's what those you think are fighting you are trying to say. At least that's what I'm trying to say.
