So it's not about motivation it's about place in society? An underprivileged person cannot be guilty of a hate crime even if he professes profound hatred of the privileged as a class? Or more concretely a white person can be guilty of a hate crime but a black person can never be guilty of a crime?
Earlier in the thread it was stated that the intent of the person committing the crime was the impetus for the tagging of a "hate crime".
So a member of the Black Panthers with multiple Facebook posts about how he thinks whitey has it coming could be charged with a hate crime in the assault of a white person, yes.
