White People: You’re Not Victims of Racism part 3

I started up this video series on YouTube in 2007, when one November night I grabbed my digital camcorder and recorded a rant which was the culmination of a few months’ pondering on the subject of racism. I titled it “White People: You’re Not Victims of Racism!” The same night I recorded a second video on the subject which became  Part 2. A year and a month later someone hacked into my YouTube account and deleted all of my videos, but didn’t change my password. Many of my vids had been deleted from my hard drive to save space, but I kept these two because part 1 had accumulated upwards of 20,000 views and hundreds of comments. They were reposted in October 2008.

In May of last year I recorded a video about racism which, for some reason,  I didn’t title “White People: You’re not…” but instead titled it Let’s Talk More About Racism.

Last month I decided to gather legal evidence to support a particular argument of mine, which rebuts the conventional idea that black people are never charged with hate crimes, even when racial motives behind a particular crime (against white people, as the conventional wisdom goes) are obvious.  This culmination of this brief research is now Part 3 of the series.

I cite four Supreme Court cases in Part 3  :

Wisconsin v Mitchell
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=508&invol=476
Where a black man was given a longer jail sentence because of a racially motivated assault on a white person: upheld by the Court, 1993.

Dawson v Delaware
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=503&invol=159
Where evidence of a white convict being involved with a white supremacist group in prison was thrown out by the Court, not considered relevant to his sentencing.

Barclay v Florida
http://supreme.justia.com/us/463/939/
Where a member of the Black Liberation Army was sentenced to death for a hate crime, the murder of a white person, and upheld by the Court.

Kansas v Marsh (related to “Wichita Massacre”)
http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/05pdf/04-1170.pdf
Where death row inmates previously taken off death row by an act of a Kansas Court was reversed by the  Court and Marsh, along with the “Wichita Massacre” murderers, were then re-sentenced to the death penalty.

In the side bar I also include additional information about unfounded racist beliefs against blacks regarding New Orleaneans and the supposed crime wave in Houston after Hurricane Katrina, with this Houston Chronicle article:
