Should Racism be a chargeable offense?

Postby Saint Panda » Fri Sep 13, 2013 6:17 am

Now, the last thing we need is a bunch of over sensitive idiots who take everything as offensive to start suing people. But, should undeniable racism be a chargeable offense? Hate crimes invoking murder, rape, theft, etc. could all be caused by racism (a general statement, all cases are different and completely unrelated to each other and don't always involve racism or anything of the like).

Should racism be charge able offense?
If so,
Should it be just a fine
Jail time?
Both?

If not, why?

I think it could but it would be abused by over sensitive idiots.

No, freedom of speech, racism is just a view that doesn't hurt anyone, it would be unenforceable anyway, etc.

Absolutely not. It would be selectively enforced against white people by liberal activist judges on the "behalf" of racial minorities. An excuse to disenfranchise conservative voters through felony convictions.

They've tried this in Europe and, quite frankly, I don't think it's working.

No, it shouldn't. It should be an aggravating circumstance for crimes.
Invoking/inciting to crimes should be (and I guess, in most jurisdictions, already is) a crime per se.

Nah. Too easy to abuse. Just inciting to crimes suffices.

Yes, when creating this thread becomes a chargeable offense.

About as likely as making consented backroom office sex illegal.

Definitely. I can see absolutely no way that it could possibly go wrong.

That sums up my thoughts on how enforceable the OP's proposal is.

Unless it leads to hate crimes, no. Same thing as pedophilia not being a crime, unless the pedophile in question molests a kid.

No, of course not.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.
