Eric Holder when asked a hypothetical question about a proposed hate crimes bill was told that ministers and whites will not be protected. He went on to say that only traditional victims would be covered.

 
In other words, it has nothing to do with hate but providing extra laws for special classes of people. I have already explained countless times that if a crime is a crime the person who commits the crime should be prosecuted fully. It doesn’t matter what the person was feeling towards the victim, it’s still wrong. It’s similar to thought crimes at that point.
 
Jeff Sessions on the the judiciary committee asked Holder if a minister who talks from the Bible about homosexuality and is then attacked by a homosexual activist for these words, would the minister be covered? The answer as previously noted was that ministers and whites would not be covered. Can whites or ministers not be hated? It sure doesn’t seem that way to me. If this doesn’t tell you that the law has nothing to do with hate than nothing will.
 
Everyone should be protected the same, white, black, minister or lay person. Even if black people and non ministers historically have been attacked more, this doesn’t make sense. If this is still a problem it’s because current laws aren’t being enforced. If someone in a specially protected class is attacked and for some reason a law official won’t prosecute, will the victim then say “hey, hate crimes laws say you must prosecute” and then the person will fall in line? Not likely, the official is either racist or doesn’t care about what’s right and is not going to suddenly be moved to action. On the other hand, if a white minister is attacked, will he be told “hey, that’s what you get for spewing white minister hate but nobody hates you so you don’t get protected by either law?”
 

I fear the worst, but I know many people will see through this. I know that the answer is not to get whites or ministers protected under this law but for everyone to be treated the same regardless of race, beliefs, thoughts or whether or not they are chosen by God to teach (ministers.)
