NARRATIVE FAIL: Minorities, LGBT Community, Women Show Up In Force At Pro-Gun Rally

No they're not.

Hate crimes are committed by hateful, disorganized (often isolated individuals) against people he/she just doesn't like.

Now if there was an organized group with a goal of forcing a certain ethnic group to re-locate, that might be terrorism, but that activity doesn't really exist today in the USA. and I'm not sure it ever has.

The first qualification for 99% of hate crime charges is membership in or possession of material from a designated hate organization. They act in the interest of organized white supremacists towards a specific political goal.
 
Yes hate crimes and terrorist acts are distinctively different.

A hate crime has no political goal. The perpetrator just wants to hurt members of the demographic he/she hates.

The marginalization of minorities is a political goal.

No they don't, they act to hurt members of the demographic that they hate.

A hate crime is quite often beating some guy up in a bar

There is no political goal

You seriously think hate crimes against black people in Georgia is part of a political goal to drive all blacks from the state ?

It's an attack on a group with the intention of marginalizing that group via terror. The individual target is incidental.

The attempted marginalization of a group via terror is a political goal and terrorism.

What do you mean by marginalizing them ?

Racists have no agenda in the USA, they attack non-white because they just hate them.

This is an example of a hate crime:


Racist Assault At A Child's Birthday Party Yields Long Prison Terms In Georgia : The Two-Way : NPR


Do you think that those two individuals had an agenda of driving black people out of Georgia ?
 
What do you mean by marginalizing them ?

The attempt is to terrorize the targeted group. It's to get the group to shut up, know their place, lay low, get out of town or even be murdered in a race war. It's an attempt to marginalize a group for political gain; the control of government and or territory.

It's a threat. "We're coming to get you."

To charge someone with a hate crime, the number one qualification is membership in or material from a designated hate group. This helps establish two things. First, the person was acting out of hate for a group and not monetary gain or personal revenge against an individual or individuals. Second, it establishes a political goal, that of the organization in motive. It is terrorism by any definition.
 
That just shows a misunderstanding of the difference between a hate crime an a terrorist act.

You might want to notify Homeland Security of the difference!!!

BwAAAAAHHHH…

How they group crime types together is up to them.

They would classify the Boston bomb as terrorism, but it really wasn't


There was no objective, hurting/killing people was an objective in itself.
