No, tolerating could mean that you voice your opinion against hate speech. I will give you an example, there was a KKK rally where I live in the beginning of summer. While the KKK had a right to rally in the steps of the Capitol, there was also counter-protests. Is this illegal? No. It just shows that people living here will not tolerate hate speech in their neighborhood. Now, I am not a fan of rallies. Alot of the time, people are not on the same page. I avoid it.
And I meant that I already showed my distaste by pointing out, in this thread, that it is hateful speech. What did you think I meant? lol. I bet you wouldnt ask me that if you thought I was christian or jewish.
But I forgive you.
