What happens when only one side defines hate
by Jeffrey T. Brown

 

If you're keeping score at home, here is where we are:

 

Whiteness = hate crime;
Red hat = hate crime;
Masculinity = hate crime;
Patriotism = hate crime;  [...]

I'll counter that you are quite the little devils advocate that reveals very little about themself.

Is this from the same website that said Trump fans suffered as much as Holocaust victims?

 

God bless! Poor little victims!

You're presumably new to this forum.

Thoughtful posters typically judge each thread on its own merits, rather than shooting the messenger or condemning sources in blanket fashion.

  It's OK to point out that the source is dubious. I mean it was a difficult article to read, and not just because of the poor grammar and lack of punctuation. It's extremely flawed. The authors premise is listing a bunch of things as "hate crimes" that are actually not. I mean seriously - red hat=hate crime.  

 

  There is this little thing called logic that is useful when forming an argument or when reasoning. I don't see that here at all. All I see here is another guy venting about the left and making up a list of grievances to do so. The article would not convince anyone who hasn't already drank the Kool Aid. 

 

  What actually struck me the most about this article is the realization that we are well into the 3rd year of Trumps presidency and many on the right seem to be so very comfortable with the role of the victim. I'd remind them they were actually on the "winning side". It may be time to relax and enjoy. This might be as good as it gets.

It is. But stirring controversy where there is none is low class.

I will concede the article isn't the most polished, but the sentiment holds: Liberals get to define what hate is, and everyone else is just supposed to suffer their judgement.
