LETTER: No greater ‘hate crime’ than eliminating rights of Southerners

Posted

to the editor:

When U.S. law covering hate crimes was voted into existence, surely there was a list explaining the actions that were considered a hate crime. It is my personal opinion that there is no greater hate crime than the attempt to eliminate the Civil Rights of U.S. citizens because they happen to be born in the South. I’m totally surprised Southerners in immediate danger of losing their Civil Rights to keep their history, keep Stone Mountain as is, and to display Confederate monuments haven’t filed a Class Action lawsuit charging a hate crime against the parties trying to eliminate their Civil Rights. Every U.S. citizen should be protected by the same laws, even those of us born in the South.
