‘hate’ crimes!

despite reading it slowly about four times, i don’t understand this:

Busloads of African Americans from across the United States converged on Washington Friday, to march around the Justice Department building, demanding more enforcement of hate crime laws. One reason for the protest was anger over tough charges against six black high school students accused of beating a white student in Jena, Louisiana in December, 2006. [...]

oh wait a sec… yes, this just in…

Reverend Al Sharpton, a well-known civil rights leader, organized the protest march,

hadn’t caught the “this position needn’t make sense” secret words.

    Like a recently butchered chicken, my body is simply spasming and typing these words in front of the computer, because my head just exploded after reading that article.

    if you can muster the required level of indignation, i’ll consider marching on washington with you, protesting your injury. no, hang on a sec… we should protest — being against such injuries — that there aren’t more of them. i think that’s how it’s supposed to go, though i’m still not sure.
