IF you were to deny the humanity of black people it would be hate.
If you justified the persecution of Jewish people it would be hate
Hate is hate no matter who it is directed agasint
You say if "you"--but it is not me, it's them who deny themselves, abandoning their very human nature, against their neighbors and against God.
In fact, it persuaded, I would bet every one of them would say they hate themselves. And that's the real problem. And just to be clear, I have no prejudice (my generation got over it), and I am kind and loving in my dealings with anyone who has abandon themselves to the evils of this world. If given the opening, it is my practice to share the love of Christ with all people.
But this is a discussion of what should be the honest truth--not emotional tolerance and enabling.
So, I get your position--but you are not helping, you're "allowing", even "accommodating" all that is wrong before God, right along with what is right as if there is no difference. That is not what is meant or intended by the wheat and the tares living together--it is not we who should "accommodate" them, but they who should see themselves and us in a way that causes them to want to be what God intended. And if they don't, we should not condone the darkness, let alone "accommodate" it.
