One: Did you really need to point out the race of the senators? Two: How the hell is this not already a hate crime? Also which republicans will oppose this, and what issues will Jeff Sessions have with it?pic.twitter.com/oDoD1Lw7DO

Yes. Because this legislation has been presented many times for over 100 years and it has never passed. Presumably the opposition started from racists. But now it may be from people opposed to any "hate crime" laws (there are good arguments against them)
-
Not sure what good arguments against hate laws would actually be.
-
Well our laws already cover murder/assault, they legislate against thought crimes (what was allegedly in a defendant's mind at the time), and there can be unintended consequences (used against minorities who are already disproportionately affected by the criminal justice system)

I don't know which is worse, the fact that we even need this legislation or the fact that there are only 3 black senators....

Nope that makes no sense. How about educate people to be more accepting and tolerant of others.

This bill is not important to me. I would think lynching is already a horrible crime but if it is important to my black brothers and sisters then it is important to me too. I hear. I understand and I support them wholeheartedly.
