especially for people of color.

Good grief. Race, race, race. The libs are sick with their obsession.

“That’s because “hate” is a dangerously elastic label, one that has long been used in America to demonize unpopular expression.”

Translation: it’s righteous to silence our political enemies, but it might come back to bite us. What a paragon of virtue.

The NYTimes just hired a tech writer who hates whites, old people, cops, and men.

Is the leftist snake just now realizing that the meal in its mouth is it’s own tail?

I think the official name is now The Racist New York Times. Times management and staff are very proud of their anti-white racism. It shows them to be noble and self-effacing.

Only leftists are allowed to define “hate,” and “hate” changes according to their whims.

When even the Racist New York Times can see it......

Funny how Twitter considered Candace Owens’ posts to be “hate speech” when all she did was substitute the words “Black” in one instance and “Jewish” in another in place of “White” from Sarah Jeong’s tweets. As even the dimmest among us knew right away codes against “Hate speech” would immediately be weaponized to silence political opponents.

Live by the tribal sword, die by it, kids.

The causal marker of a failing culture or self identified group or tribe is not its color or gender identification or religion or any other attribute per se. That may be correlative, but it's not causal. It's each individual's refusal, occurring en masse and usually either as mass hypnosis in the chronically unaware, or seeking identification with a collective, and hence mirroring the behavior patterns of the collective over rational evaluation of the reality around them followed by critical thought, evaluation, and choice ... to refuse to live by principles in line with how the universe behaves. Those laws include 'the nature of man' as a subset of 'the nature of the universe.'

Call it God or call it 'The Nature of the Universe.' Failed individuals, often banded together like lemmings by whatever extraneous attribute you choose, at an individual level refuse to abide by Natural Law. Just because most are simply copying each other and calling themselves by the same team name doesn't make it any less an individual choice.

Freedom from that collective is always available.

Conversely, the most successful, free and happy individuals are those who, perhaps appearing to be part of a collective/tribe simply because acting rationally and in line with Nature is an arbitrary and over time observable attribute around which, even in the absence of tribe forming, one could project a tribe ... simply go about their lives actually using the tools (observation, critical thought and consideration, choice) they were given by their Creator moment to moment. They may look like a tribe, but 1000 people in a room breathing doesn't make them a breathing tribe.

Each individual in these failing cultures or groups must focus individually on 'what works on this planet/universe' and stop behaving like the failures around them.

But alas! Man has since the dawn of his time, often chosen to copy repetitively negative-result-producing and often deadly behavior merely to belong (one should note this is actually an expression of the ego rather than a rejection or renunciation of it, but of course Satan always hides his ways), rather than act rationally and appear and be called out and exiled as a lunatic amongst his fellow actual lunatics.

If you're in a tribe, wake the hell up, think for yourself, choose for yourself, accept responsibility even when you inevitably and perhaps even often fail.

Being a part of a collective is prison and hell and slavery, unless you have chosen to temporarily participate and cooperate with others, with a known goal and a known exit path, as a means to an end, provided it is an end that Natural Law approves of.

End of preaching to choir.

Liberals and Progressives teach the opposite. Hence they are destroyers of the human spirit during life and always eventually murderers (anyone remember the 20th century?)

The only time I ever get close to feeling any hatred in my heart is when I think not so much of the murders, although they are plenty, but the BILLIONS who actually LIVED 10, 20, 80 years under the poisonous tyranny of these people and fake intellectual philosophies.

You don't have to murder someone to destroy his life.

Oops only meant to post one line :-)

I think that’s what’s generally happened with campus speech codes, they’re more often used against “people of color” than against whites.

If you silence any speech by government action you will face more resistance than you ever imagined. The mere suggestion is repulsive to any true American.
But yeah, of course the same idiots trashing Freedom of Speech today will find themselves the target of whatever dictatorship they spawn.

My last post was actually more of a rant.
Tossing in my .02 cents on this article topic -

Left doing what they do best, being hypocritical.
Their folks HATE other ideas and voices and to try to squash it and call it the dreaded CRIMINAL redflag leper laden label of HATE SPEECH. Yet they say the most nasty vile and threatening things about us (whom they hate with venom). Even attacking us with actual weapons and violence in public places.

The NYT has absolutely no credibility on the subject of hate speech.

This from the paper that just hired one of the most blatantly racists in America?

If you really want to silence something, silence stupidity. The peace and quiet would be so, so very refreshing....

On Tuesday, the Astros’ Tyler White hit a homer to beat the Giants, whose pitcher was a Caucasian by the last name of Black. I couldn’t resist the irony. My posted headline of the story “In the case of Black vs White, White wins”. My partner, who religiously posts the blog headlines twice a day on Twitter, didn’t post it, particularly after I dared the snowflakes on Twitter to come unglued over the headline, not understanding it was about baseball players who happened to be named White and Black. That’s how hypersensitive our goofy society is today. I could have rubbed it in their face with a headline about “White Power” but decided to be more subtle.

No, because the left is inconsistent and outcome oriented. There is no need to have "hate" be defined in a consistent manner. Just call those you disagree with haters, and be done with it.
