The representative wishes to define “hate speech” as something that can only be charged against white people.
White people would not be permitted to pose questions about open immigration, criticize minorities, or fight for the preservation of American culture under the “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023,” which clearly implies that this bill solely applies to white people.
A white individual might risk federal jail under Jackson Lee’s proposed law for just writing online about the impact of open borders immigration on American culture, similar to what is happening in several far-left European countries where the government targets its own inhabitants.
“A person engages in a white supremacy [sic] inspired hate crime when white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of activity that, if effectuated, would have constituted a crime,” the bill from Jackson Lee reads.
Check out what the National File had to say:
Under Jackson Lee’s legislation, if federal investigators determine that the web postings of a third party had “inspire[d]” someone else, even someone they don’t know, to commit a federal hate crime, that person would be arrested, and federally charged with a hate crime of their own.
Specifically, Jackson Lee targets Americans who are in favor of border security, calling out “replacement theory” by name, an ideology that holds that open borders and mass migration into the Western World are part of a deliberate effort to “replace” white people in their native lands.
As the legislation explains, two people could be charged in relation to the same, lone wolf-style attack if, “at least one of [them] published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory’, or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group.” Even if they don’t know each other.
Especially, if the material “was published on a social media platform.”
