                         HATE CRIMES MUST STOP

  (Mr. GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, when you are a son of the 
segregated south, when you have heard your mother called girl, and your 
father called boy, when you have had to go to the back door, when you 
have had the Klan burn a cross on your property, you know hate when you 
see it. You know what a hate crime is when it takes place.
  What happened in Georgia was hate personified, it was a hate crime. I 
will march with the people who will be opposed to this. I will stand 
with them. We cannot allow this kind of injustice to go unchallenged. 
It is better to stand alone than not stand at all. This is a hate crime 
and we must--we must seek justice for those victims, and we must demand 
that these persons who are calling these viruses by names associated 
with people, that they ought to stop, and we ought to demand it. I do 
so. I demand that they stop.
