I'm not very well informed on what difference it makes if something is a hate crime. Does it mean tougher sentencing? If so, why?

I suppose hate crimes can be seen as inciting more violence by example.

The major difference is that a hate crime can be prosecuted federally.

For example; there was a time in Americas history where (especially in the south) one could kill a black person and be acquitted by an all white jury. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 would allow the Federal government to step in if the crime was motivated by the person's race, color, religion or national origin.

Nowadays everything is reverse racism which is nonsense since it equates "name calling" to a system that discriminates based on a person's race, color, religion or national origin...
