The Odyssey of Professor Gates gets nastier and more revealing with time. Professor Gates was arrested after breaking into his rented home and allegedly becoming hostile when confronted by officers. A white officer took him into custody, and Gates screamed "racism!", and subsequently filed a lawsuit against the officer. Obama said that the cops acted stupidly and went on to justify it with long references to black abuse by white officers.
However, other black officers were there and support the white officer's actions. And one black officer claimed to regret her vote for Obama.
Now these officers are taking heat from racist blacks for their support of the white officer. According to an AP report found on Yahoo, officer Sgt. Leon Lashley was there at the time, supported the arrest, and now is being called an "Uncle Tom". And the officer who recanted her vote for Obama is under attack from blacks for taking a position supporting a white, not the black.
Racism is alive and well within the black community. But do you suppose that such racial attacks will be pursued under Hate Crimes?
I don't.

"Uncle Tom" classic.
I hate it when other black people immediately jump to racism whenever something happens with a white person on one side and a black person on the other. There may be a myriad of reasons for what happened that have nothing to do with racism, but if it's some white/black incident, racism is involved by definition. I remember watching ESPN talking about the Michael Vick case. With all the possible issues surrounding the case he said something like "you have to consider race in this case because Vick is black." This is how you know the left does not plan on achieving any kind of real racial harmony. It's far too useful to shout "RACIST!!" and call it a day. Even worse, most people actually buy it. I'm still trying to figure out what Rush Limbaugh said that's actually racist. If it's that black quarterback thing, it's true. Michael Vick isn't even that good and there's nothing wrong with pointing it out. No one's saying that black quarterbacks can't be good, just that political correctness has no place in the objective evaluation of athletes.
You're right, objectivity is the key. This time it is apparent that not all blacks want to assert racism to cover their faults. But those who are objective are punished by the others, who cause as much grief as possible. The black racists wind up hurting their own credibility as citizens and fellow humans.
I also agree that the Left finds racism too valuable a part of their victimology program to ever let it go.
