It works on the same concept as terrorism.  

You constantly cry about Obama calling attacks by Muslin extremists "crimes" instead of "terrorism". but when the tables are turned you say the the exact opposite.  You are so blinded by your own prejudices that you don't even know which side of this argument you are on.

If a crime is just a crime then you have no problem calling the 9-11 attacks and the Fort Hood shooting "crimes" instead of "acts of terrorism", correct?

Not to mention that by highlighting when crimes are motivated by race or other similar factors, it doesn't divide us but actually unites us. We understand that these beliefs still exist and we become less willing to accept the intolerance of others.

When you say "I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go." before you kill a group of people for being black, that's terrorism. That's a hate crime. His manifesto said that he wanted to start something against all of the black people. anyone who blames the media for making this about race is just dumb.
