WE KNOW that the climate of hatred created by such hate speech all too often encourages acts of physical violence and discrimination. WE ASK YOU TO join us in eliminating the hatred, hate speech and violence directed at our fellow citizens solely on the basis of their diversity. To be tolerant does not infer that you approved of any particular diversity, only to recognize that individual's right to live in a peaceful, hate free society, where are humans are equal and deserving of a life free from fear and discrimination. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. We must always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
