Hate speech?

I guess it depends on who's viewpoint you look through that determines wether speech is hate or not. Anyone with opposing views can consider another's ideas as hate. More importantly is freedom of speech, where if ideas are not conducive to the majority's opinion, they can be defeated with logic and intellect. Instead of yelling and chanting and breaking windows, allow all speakers to express themselves peacefully and present arguments to change people's minds towards protecting everyone's civil liberty, and their inherent right to live free of violence. Because one day, your speech might be considered as hateful and you will want the forum to express yourself without being drowned out by those who aren't willing to listen.
White, black, purple, male, female or other... who gives a fuck, do what you want to do as long as it doesn't hurt someone else.

Don't forget if a persons view is flawed, reasonable people will see it.

Hate speech is a slippery slope. Especially when you start legislation
