Much more likely that you heard about something upsetting, frustrating, or bothersome.
Well said.
Those are the verbs of hate/The actions of hate. Hate is only a state of mind.
If uncheck hate will again result in those actions.
bad things all start some where
The statements similar to your own were stated during the rise of Hitler. He was pointing out why the German economy was doing poorly and who should be to blamed (all bs and wrong, but dressed as ligitimate). "we need to get our country back from them". "who do they think they are". "I remember when the country was great". "They are trying to take what I have".
Then it grew from there. The actions started
If he had start off with all the hate actions, I sure he would not have been listen to. He gave people a reason and a personification to hate and blame.

I usually keep my butt out of the political threads because i dont want to see what other people are writing, it creates an image about that person. I dont want to come in, spouting my views and burning bridges of people on here, or for that matter, others around me in the office, at home, in the store, ect. Who knows, i might need a hand or some advise from these people. I have my own political views, and im keeping them to myself. Now, who wants to help me with my corner weights?
Good point. I am finished
How do I get 1000hp out of s two stroke 50cc motor?

Verbs of hate? Actions of hate?
So, your suggestion is that I am inciting hate? Nice.
Have you lived in a place where slavery still exists? I have.
Ever had your life threatened for your race, faith, or ethnicity? I have.
Ever been shot at because of your skin color? Beaten? I have.
Ever been in a racially mixed marriage? I have.
Ever been run out of a community with machetes for your faith? I have.
Ever spent an afternoon with a sharecropper? I have.
Ever watched people dragged off a bus, beaten and sold into slavery? I have.
I've lived in those places. This isn't close. I KNOW that I am privileged to live where I do, even with it's shortcomings. I'll do what I can to work tirelessly against injustice, but I won't insult the character of the men, women, and children who live with truly horrible hatred, pain, and fear by whining about how awful my life is. I know better.
But if you'd prefer to believe that your life is somehow threatened by simple statements of the obvious on the internet, it is unlikely that I'll be able to sway your opinion otherwise.

But please understand that similar experiences have happened here in America's history and not that long ago. Let's not repeat the mistakes of the past or present. Peace to all. Love to man and woman kind. Thanks again

Of course not. That is not what I am saying. I agree with you. I am just stating that things all begin benign and grow. That is all. Not calling you out at all. Sorry for the misunderstanding
