That is not "using my analogy" because I clearly stated that white people have NOT been victims of oppression.
If there is a hate crime committed against a white person by a black person based on race then I agree that the black person should be punished.
If a black person oppresses a white person in some way based on race (housing discrimination, employment discrimination, lending discrimination, etc) then the black person should be punished.
But one of the privileges of being a white person is that we don't have to deal with systemic oppression based on our race. We control a grossly disproportionate percentage of the wealth and power in this country. So that is why I don't cry about being a "victim of racism".
