The problem is we might not agree with your assessments because you and your people are the haters. Not sayin you just stating how this is working. The haters are calling good people haters. The facts are just bad sometimes and they have to be stated clearly and sometimes even loudly. BUT, violence is not words EVER, EVER!
Violence is well defined and it isn't words.

Any restrictions on hate speech should not be misused to silence minorities and to suppress criticism of official policies, political opposition or religious beliefs.
Nationalism is a creed based upon love for one’s own people group or nation and a desire to preserve that people group and for it to thrive. The word ‘Nationalist’ is derived from the Latin ‘Natal’ which means ‘Birth’, thus we affirm that a Nation is a people connected by birth, an extended family united through their ancestry and a Nationalist is an individual who puts the well being of their extended family at the centre of his life.
Being a Nationalist implies respect for Nationalists from other people groups and an understanding that their struggle to do their best for their people, is no different in essence to our struggle to do the same and is just as commendable. To not accept this and to resent that natural ethnocentric impulse in other groups, is hypocritical.
The majority of uses of Pepe the Frog have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted.
