Splitting hairs here. You missed the point.
"Splitting hairs" or not, MY point (NOT "the point") is that I have called you out twice in the past 24 hours for your presenting something as being factual that simply isn't/wasn't true.
Then when you go on to say shit such as, "The news would have made it into the biggest "white supremacy" story in history", and "a crime based on resentment (another thing the democrats want to teach to the young)", I get YOUR point (NOT "the point").

Again, I respond in detail if your comment is intellectually honest. If it's not, it isn't worth my time.

Here is an "intellectually honest" comment for you to respond to.
You're an ignoramus and an asshole - on this board.
I'm pretty sure I have asked you before if you would be ok with my sharing what you post on here with a former KU (and NFL) Football player - and then having me coordinate the both of you sitting down together in person and having an "intellectually honest" conversation in regards to your thoughts and feelings on "racism" in America. So.... Any interest?

What's hilarious is I've actually sat down with many KU black football players in their apartments in the past.
Share it with him if you want, but don't expect me to sit down and talk to someone if I don't see them being worth my time. People have to prove they are sincere to me.

I honestly don't remember. It was when I lived in the Jayhawk Towers. They were a lot of fun to talk with. One of them knocked on my door and was looking to gather people for a talk about Christianity. It was actually pretty interesting because several football players were saying that were not on board with Christianity, as I was also not interested in converting (I'm not religious).
Long story short, I'm not interested in talking to people because of their race -- I'm more interested in their character, attitude, ideas, are they honest?, etc.

I don't want people to think Wally is crazier than he is.
I DELETED MY PREVIOUS POST that he was responding to.
Wally - In this case I actually don't want to accuse you of lying but as bad as my memory is, I remember the Football (and Basketball) players I had conversations with 35 years ago. I'm surprised you don't remember who you spoke with.
As far as your saying, "I'm not interested in talking to people because of their race -- I'm more interested in their character, attitude, ideas, are they honest?, etc"., that's cool but........ When it comes to discussing race issues, I try and make a point of speaking with and listening to first hand accounts of what people have experienced because of their race. I don't want to pretend I understand and know what they have experienced nor do I choose to minimize it.
If it's just sitting down with someone to have a conversation about another topic, then by all means you and I are actually alike - in that their race doesn't matter to me.

Well, I believe they were walk-ons or the players who were not the stars from what I remember. But it was refreshing to talk to some people who were considered "stars" within the university, but they were talking to me just as normal people in their quest for higher truth. It was kind of wild because I never imagined I would be sitting in a room full of football players talking about Christianity. Just one of those fun memories that you only experience in college.

I mean, I'd argue ANYONE who commits a hate crime made a terrible life decision, so that doesn't really address the question.
So, I don't understand your second point. subsidized housing leads to hate crimes against asians, explain that too me. Are you saying that Asians and Blacks are being forced to live in mixed communities, and it's that juxtaposition that leads to racial tensions?

Why isn't the mainstream media talking about this? After all, they claim they care about violence against Asians. I think it's obvious why.
I mean, you posted a link to an article published by a major news outlet. They are talking about it.
