1. Is a "hate crime" worse than just a "crime?"
2. What causes someone to hate another person because of their different religion, sexual orientation, skin color, etc.?
3. Can people use the word "hate crime" to justify their actions?
I believe that except for the color of their skin, a black person is no different from a white person. So what causes someone to hate another person because of their different religion, sexual orientation, or even skin color? We may never understand the reason behind it. Just as Sullivan mentions in his article, hate is everywhere. Because someone has a different religious view or a different sexual orientation, it does not affect the way we, ourselves live. If a man wants to date another man or a women wants to date another women, what harm does it do to us? I agree with Sullivan when he says that because we are a free nation, there will be hate. Because there are so many people, there will always be disagreement and prejudice between other people.
I agree because I think we should live our lives how we want to. We shouldn't let the way other people live theirs effect the way we live ours. Unfortunately, hate will always be apart of our society but we can't let it get to us.
