These are people who are seen to be relatively powerless, invisible, easy targets for hate and . . . heavily stigmatized and misunderstood.

I don't think it's ever appropriate for us to make light of significant human pain . . . when people feel fearful, walking down the street, for who they are. I wouldn't laugh at a movie that attempted to portray lynching in a funny way. Hate violence is just not acceptable fodder for comedy.

Having cameras, having security guards, all those things help to make parents and people in the community feel secure, but what we really need students to take the lead in making a change in the culture of their schools.

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone... they will be forced to deal with pain.

You know what it is? Alot of these people are just now jumping on the 'we hate Tom' band waggon. I've been hating Tom since like 1995, I'm oldschool hatin' Tom!

I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!
