"America doesn't have a race problem. America has a problem race." That is honesty one of the most racist statements I have ever seen. Lol. The basic definition of racism is when someone "maligns a group." Do you truly believe that statement, or are you just not very bright?
I think you have a problem understanding what hate speech really is. To help you, let me offer the following definitions:
Definition from Oxford Languages
hate speech, noun
abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or similar grounds.
Hate speech is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation".
All too many people, including journalists, imply "racist" is "hate speech". If you examine the definitions closely, you will see a definite distinction: "hate speech" implies "violence against those spoken about."
"Racist" is an opinion.
"Hate speech" is taking an action based on an opinion.
The person I responded to made a statement that maligned an entire group of people. That's racism, not hate speech. Neither is illegal. I just find it funny that people will say "I'm not racist" and then they will turn around and say "black people are the problem in this country." I see it every single day on this site.
