In recent weeks, at least eight churches in east Texas have been set on fire. I can only assume that these are predominantly white congregations; otherwise, we would be hearing "hate crime" all over the news.
Why is it that when an arsonist hits a black church, the immediate outcry is that there are racists running rampant; it must be the KKK; it's a hate crime; call in the feds? But when a whole bunch of white churches are torched, there is no one calling out that it must be blacks with hatred for whites or the Black Panthers at it again or that the federal government must step in. Where is the outrage?
