It's not a hate crime when a person of a particular race or ethnicity commits a crime against someone who is different. It's a hate crime when a perpetrator not only harms the individual victim but does so in a way that terrorizes an entire protected class of people. It can be a white-on-black crime, as in the case of the Hampden man who allegedly drove to New York with the intent to kill black people, or it can be black on white, as in the case of the California man who allegedly shot and killed three white men on the street in Fresno and expressed hatred toward white people before he was arrested. And certainly, it can coincide with hatred of the president, as in the case of four young African-American people in Chicago who are charged with hate crimes in the savage videotaped beating of a white, mentally disabled young man during which they yelled anti-Trump and anti-white slurs.
