So white on white murder isn't as bad as white on black murder or black on white murder? Is black on black murder more tolerable than white on black

murder?

I don't find any of it tolerable and I don't like sentencing distinctions that make it seem like some murder is more tolerable.

"Oh, it was just a white guy killing another white guy" or "just your every day black on black violence" versus "OMG! A white skinhead killed a black guy! We need to *really* punish him extra hard!"

- Ah, so the "thought" behind the "crime" is what drives the extra punishment! "Thought crime"! -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 11:17
