Shouldn't we try to bite any movement which is inherently criminal in the bud?
Shouldn't we avoid all out killing sprees of anyone? Why is minority life so much more precious than other forms of life? No person, regardless of minority status or lack thereof should be subjected to killing sprees. Harsher punishments sometimes do and sometimes don't reduce crime, but whether that's the way to crack down or not, I see no reason to focus our anti-crime efforts on hate crime any more than other crime. What we need to make clear is that ANY behavior that is by nature criminal (by nature means they are actually criminal in orientation, as opposed to drug possession which is only criminal because of what some human wrote on paper) is absolutely unacceptable whether hate was the motive or not.

The fact that a borderline racist has been elected into one of the most powerful positions in the world shows that Americans are willing to dismiss or look over racism and accept it more. Sure, Trump supporters deny he is racist, and that is better than endorsing that side of Trump, but the fact that he has supporters shows American's willingness to put up with a borderline racist.
You are wrong. https://www.splcenter.org/news/2017/02/15/hate-groups-increase-second-consecutive-year-trump-electrifies-radical-right or http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-hate-crimes-20-percent-2016-fueled-election-campaign-n733306 .
Yes, hate crimes are just especially likely to become a movement so we need to address them. Mugging is probably not going to create a criminal movement so it doesn't need to be specially addressed (not for this reason anyway).
Yes, minorities are not any more important or deserving of life that majorities. Yes, no one should be subjected to killing sprees. Yes, it need be made clear that anything by nature criminal is absolutely unacceptable. And finally, yes drug possession charges are stupid. Here's why hate crimes are different. Simply because A) they promote hate and they are on the rise. Humans are social creatures who follow trends. Most crimes by nature criminal have been treated a unacceptable, and have not been officially government organized. But, when we look at history, there have been many times when it acceptable too kill those religiously, ethnically, and/or culturally different from you. For example, the holocaust, Rwandan massacre, and massacre of the native north and south Americans. I'm not saying America will do this; I am merely saying that most of the widespread killing in history is what now constitutes as a hate crime. Also, hate crime needs to be addressed because it is on the rise. Society is becoming more accepting of racism, (https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2016-11-10/after-donald-trumps-election-racist-outbursts-in-us) and hate crimes are on the rise (see earlier) so we need to address this problem further as we have obviously been unsuccessful.

That seems pretty counter intuitive. The entire reasons that there are a wide range of sentences available for exactly the same crime is because the context of how it happened matters. Even putting aside race, crimes are not equal. For instance someone committing first degree murder in California will get 25 to life. That's a big potential difference between the minimum and maximum because there are a lot of different circumstances where people can commit crimes. Some circumstances can even allow us to empathise with the perpetrator (although that's less likely in the event of murder).
WHY someone commits a crime matters and effects their sentences, referred to as aggravation and mitigation. Committing a crime because you are racist against someone is always going to be an aggravating circumstance because the basis of why you committed the crime, not just the crime itself, is unacceptable to modern norms and laws.

Yes, but let's look at why borderline racism is becoming more accepted, and what caused the Trump movement to begin with. It stems from middle America being sick of hearing how racist they are, and how any little mention of race that someone doesn't agree with makes you a bigot. People are so tired of being called bigots that they've given up, and embraced the title. By embracing the title bigot, it becomes easier to accept borderline racism. A perfect example of the media blowing race out of proportion is how they cover any violence with a potential racial twist. Many of the police shooting we've seen had nothing to do with race, as both the officer, and so-called "victim" were black, yet the media spun these as a police shooting a black man and people were marching through the street yelling about how evil white men were. I'm not saying that embracing bigotry is an appropriate response, but hate crime and the way the media covers it has actually helped exacerbate our problem of racism becoming more accepted.
I never said hate groups weren't on the rise, but that they are no where near their historical levels. If you honestly believe racial violence, or racial attitudes in general is anywhere near as big a problem today as it was in the 60's then you don't know what you're talking about. If hate groups were to triple today, all their members combined would still be smaller than the Klan of the 60's and you would literally have to add a few digits to get it to even compare to the size of the Klan in the 20's. So it isn't growing that fast.
Mugging is far more common than racial violence. Its most common in bad neighborhoods where entire criminal cultures have set in. Also, murders over gang related violence in these neighborhoods far outweighs racial violence in our country. If we really want to get to the source of criminal movements, we should target all gangs, not just hate groups, as other types of gangs are far more common, and account for far more of our nation's violence.
Also, hate movements tend to die on their own anyway, although I'm not saying they should be tolerated, just not treated any differently than other groups which engage in violence. The Klan grew rapidly in the early 20's because of its community service efforts and what people considered noble goals (while the Klan of the 20's was much larger in terms of membership, the Klan of the 60's was more notorious for its violence, and was far less popular nationwide). The Klan peaked in 1924, reaching between 4 and 5 million members (approximate 15% of the national population). However, between 1923 and 1926, some incidences of Klan violence occurred and by 1930, Klan membership was below 30,000. Again, not saying its right, but people can react violently when they feel threatened, but history has shown us that movements based on racial violence don't stay popular very long, as tension dies down and people are averse to violence. Violence may not be an acceptable way to react to what is going on, or that Trump as President is a good solution, but people have good reason to feel threatened after 8 years of a president telling us how racist we, after we've been trying to make progress and raise our children with non-racist attitudes, meanwhile people are marching through our streets burning down businesses because of a police shooting that we had nothing to do with us, but that's ok because they have a right to be angry.
Even if racial violence continues, it wouldn't get to the point of the places you are talking about. All of these examples are groups in society who were segregated from each other socially and developed an us v them mentality so that the violence here was viewed almost like warfare. Not saying its right, but its very different than our atmosphere. While extremists are developing that attitude more and more, the average American has plenty of friends of other races, and even when they disagree on these issues its not a huge deal. Racial equality if too engraved in our majority for hate crimes to ever rise to the level they were in America historically, when blacks and whites were segregated, and racist attitudes was the prevailing norm. We should address hate crime just like any crime, but not treat it like a special category worthy of more punishment or stricter legislation.

The alt-right murdered people.
Let me quote you from earlier "Its becoming part of our culture now, not because its happening more often, but because of media sensationalism when it does happen." So, you do now admit it is happening more often? The cause has nothing to do with the issue at hand. You can defend bigots all you want, but racism is still on the rise, so my point still stands. The fact that the media is promoting it is just another problem that needs to be addressed.
You did say hate groups weren't on the rise. "Its becoming part of our culture now, NOT because its HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, but because of media sensationalism when it does happen." I agree, racism is nothing like the 60's, but that's like saying we don't need to address governments murdering civilians because it is not as bad as the holocaust. Racism is still a problem on the rise, so we still need to address it more than we do now.
Yes, I'm not saying hate crimes should be addressed more than other crimes, I am just saying they should be addressed more than they are being addressed now. Even if hate crimes were the same as their non hate related counterparts (which they are't) we must increase the amount of resources we spend on them for the simple reason that they are on the rise. The resources spent on any given type of crime should be proportional to its severity and to its frequency. The severity of hate crimes are not on the rise, but the frequency is, so we must increase the amount of resources spent combating them. Also, before you lose your head about minority privilege, hate crimes are any crimes on the basis of religion, race, sex etc. If minorities attack majorities for these reasons, it is still hate crime.
ALERT! ALERT! STRAW MAN! ALERT! ALERT! Obviously, you didn't read everything I said. Let me quote myself for you. "I'm not saying Americans will do this [genocide];" My point was that hate crimes are fundamentally different from other crimes and more likely to be widely accepted. (note: I said more likely, I never meant that they will probably be widely accepted, just in case you were looking for another straw man.) I would caution against saying "never". Obviously, there are already racist Americans, and it is obviously possible to make Americans racist, so hate crimes rising to historic highs is always a possibility that must be considered, however unlikely. Hate crimes are somewhat unique, and even if you don't believe that, you must admit that we must address the more than we do right now, because they are on the rise.

There are racists in America because their are still a few people left who haven't joined the rest of us and started socializing with other races. Do you have examples of hate crimes committed by anyone with close friends of the race their hate crime was directed towards? The majority of American have close friends of other races, and so the odds of this racism problem becoming a majority thing is very, very unlikely.
Hate crime, as you define it, isn't unique. How is a white man killing a man because he's black any different morally than a crip killing a man because he is a blood? The first is considered a hate crime by your definition, the second is not, although in reality gang violence is a much larger problem in our country than racial violence.
I'm not saying we shouldn't do more about it. We should do more about it in the same sense we should do more about crime in general. Sure we should do more to prevent people from attacking people based on race, but why should we do any more to stop people from attacking people based on race than we do to stop people from attacking people based on gang affiliation, personal beef, or pure greed such as with robberies?

What does bringing up unfounded fears do to support your argument. You admit that this wouldn't happen in America, yet you use it as a reason we should be worried. Why should we worry about what you admit won't happen. Using unfounded fears to justify a point is fear mongering, and you yourself admit your fear is unfounded.
