The term hate speech means something different to different people. Im not saying this was not hate speech. I’m saying you can’t just tell me it’s hate speech and expect me to be like ‘well guess it was hate speech’. The media does not get to determine that for me.

I read an article to read what happened, not to get a link to what happened.

Journalists don’t repeat it because some people (who have a not insubstantial presence on this subreddit) subscribe to the belief that referring to something someone said makes you just as bad as the person saying it, but because the crowd who gets sensitive over that is so neurotic about so many things it’s impossible to know what the journalist would get in trouble for repeating. So they play it safe.
