Actually, there are people who believe that black people cannot be racist.

Its not an "anti-black thread"; its an anti-liberal narrative thread. In our present culture/society, its is held as a truth that racism is something that only whites are capable of. The word is thrown around and used as a political bludgeon by the left and its media enablers. Stories such as in the OP are needed reminders that reality differs from said narrative.

Well, I can certainly see where you get that Hudson was RESPONDING to being severely insulted and thoroughly justified in his actions.

The title of the thread blatantly displays the true agenda.

Anyway, I'll save some folks the trouble of new threads by now announcing that blacks can also get tooth decay, and Asians can be good bowlers too.
This gate CLEARLY SWINGS BOTH WAYS! Latinos particularly Latino gangs in the Los Angeles area have specifically targeted Black Americans.

Crimes rooted in hatred increase

Quote:
The largest number of racial hate crimes involved Latino suspects against black victims, followed by black suspects against Latino victims. Latinos also made up the largest number of suspects in hate crimes based on sexual orientation. Whites were the leading suspects in religion-based incidents. Overall, blacks made up nearly half the hate crime victims, totaling 310.

"What we're seeing is the democratization of hate crimes," said Brian Levin, who directs the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino. "We're not only seeing a diversification of victims but also increased diversification of offenders."
It should be noted that Black Americans make up less than 10% of the population in the Los Angeles area but they are targeted for over 50% of the hate crimes.

Members of street gang charged with racial violence against black residents

Quote:
A Latino street gang waged a racist campaign to eliminate black people from a southern California city through attempted murders and other crimes, according to federal racketeering indictments unsealed today.

Five indictments charged a total of 147 members and associates of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang, and federal and local agencies arrested 63 of them earlier today, US attorney Thomas P O'Brien said at a news conference.

And I agree with you completely. In fact, I know people who are more racist in non-white countries. Chinese nationals are very willing to say that they don't like the Japanese, and vice versa.
You will never find anyone who is not both white and male charged with a hate crime. On that grounds alone the law needs to be abolished for violating the 14th Amendment.

Latino Charged With Hate Crime For Smashing Plate On White Man Dining With Black Man

Details are unfolding in the case of Latino Skidmore College student, Justin Tavarez, charged with a hate crime for smashing a plate over a white man’s head. The New York Daily News reports:
N.Y. hate crime suspects face new charges of attacking other Hispanics

Quote:
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Seven teenagers, already accused in the racially motivated stabbing death of an Ecuadorean immigrant, were charged in a new indictment Wednesday with taking part in attacks on eight other Hispanics over 14 months.

The November killing of Marcelo Lucero has attracted international attention and prompted a U.S. Justice Department investigation of hate crime allegations on eastern Long Island.

At a community meeting in December, other victims came forward to tell their stories.

Those details led to some of the charges filed Wednesday. Victims were knocked off bicycles; punched in laundromats; and attacked while walking down the street, prosecutors said.

The teens reportedly have told authorities that targeting Hispanics for abuse was a regular activity.

One of them, 17-year-old Anthony Hartford, told police, "I don't go out doing this very often, maybe once a week," according to Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.

The prosecutor said the attackers often uttered racial slurs like "beaners and *******s."

Black Teen Charged W/Hate Crime After Beating White Man Listening To Rap, Telling Him "White People Shouldn't Listen To Rap Music"

Quote:
A 14-year-old faces a hate-crime enhancement charge after Palm Bay police said he carried out a racially motivated attack on a 22-year-old man for listening to rap music.

The teen was taken into custody late Monday and charged with battery after Palm Bay police were called to investigate a disturbance near the intersection of Port Malabar Boulevard and India Lane in the northeast section of the city.
Black teen charged with murder, hate crime in 2008 deaths of two Riverside Latinos (http://www.pe.com/localnews/stories/PE_News_Local_D_wmurder28.d7d7374.html - broken link)

Quote:
A Riverside gang member accused of killing two teens because they were Latino was charged with two counts of murder and committing a hate crime, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Arsenio Devo Morgan, 19, was charged in the deaths of Salvador Soliz, 18, and Romiro Sanchez, 16. They were slain at a December 2008 party near UC Riverside. Morgan is also charged with special circumstances of a hate crime, multiple murders and committing crimes that benefited a criminal street gang.

Those special circumstances make Morgan eligible for the death penalty if prosecutors choose to pursue it, authorities said.

A racist is a racist is a racist. No matter what BULL**** excuses you make for sickening backwards behavior it doesn't excuse racism. Go tell someone else your PC bull**** story but I'm not buying it. I have some Irish ancestry and for a while the Irish were treated horribly but that in no way gives me a free pass to be a bigot.

White people are moving the goal post in regards to the term racism so that they can kick a goal. Ask yourself this:"What makes the definition of racism unique from terms like prejudice or bigotry?"

Think of the term Socialism, communism, Marxism, conservatism, liberalism......these are SYSTEMS. The suffix "ism" has a specific meaning. It means a doctrine or system. The suffix "ist" means one who is a practitioner of.........hence.....a practitioner of the doctrine and system of racism in this instance.

What white people want to do is to convolute things so that they can use it against black people.
