I honestly say to all, because most people are aware of it that know me, that when eating a Twix candy bar that I favor the right one. I have always thought you liked the other side...........so I will wait and see what point you will make.
I say that was THEN. Thank GOD that was then. Now most people have learned a great deal. Over in Spain there was the inquisition, but we have learned a lot since then, as a people. Thank God that is behind us. Then of course in Germany, there was the Holocaust. Now we are figuring out new ways to be hateful and ugly to each other.To incite violence and find reasons to hurt and kill each other. It makes me so sad I could cry. It can not end well when we hate.

And thanks to .......we have large amounts of people defending those new ways to be hateful, and endorsing them in the name of something.
Civil discourse and compromise have gone by the wayside I am afraid.
HOWEVER, keep in mind that those examples you gave..everyone of them started with TALK and speeches preaching the hate. That speech was the pre cursor in each case.
