Another Old White Guy Charged With Hate Crime. Thanks Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan gave a magazine interview and said some things that earns you a hate speech charge in Europe. Charge later dropped. Bob's been fighting the man for decades and now he's can mutter less with more fear of legal implications. Take a bath hippies and Frenchies.

In the 2012 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Dylan was quoted as saying, "If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood."

His comments, which were in response to a question about race relations in the United States, outraged some of his Croatian fans, leading the Council of Croats in France (CRICCF) to lodge an official complaint.

You do know that Bob Dylan is really Robert ZIMMERMAN!

another flabbergastingly ridiculous fucking thread.

Yeah! Let's blame Bob ZIMMERMAN (JDIdiot, thanks for letting us know he's related to that fucking imbecile in Florida who's always getting arrested for being such a dipshit) for Neo-Nazis, racists and other haters.

Holy shit, does it get any stupider than this?

Considering the previous posters, we're only missing two or three to make this a Grand Slam of idiocy.

He had a song about "Hurricane" Carter.

Wasn't Carter black?

Yep

Hate crime, thought police, doublespeak.......How often is black on white violence made a hate crime?
Typical liberal mindset is that not only do you have a crime but the murder is more heinous if hate was involved.
So when will a wife murdering her husband be called a hate crime?

What Dylan should have said was " just like Serbs can sense Croation Blood, and Croations can sense Serbian blood.

That would have put them on equal ground, for good, or bad.

We have lost all sense of proportion when dissecting what a person said to seven levels of mystic meaning. Some things are wrong, some are dumb, some are carelessly worded--but only a few are reprehensible. We seem unable to tell the difference in too many cases. I would put Dylan's in the "dumb" category--and when a folk singer from the Woodstock era says something dumb, it is hardly worth noticing.
