Hatred is a perfectly natural human emotion. If we forcibly prevent people from expressing their emotions with words and abdicate our responsibility to defuse hatred with dialogue, it will eventually boil over and be expressed with violence.
It's ironic, because mass censorship proponents claim censoring hate prevents violence, when perhaps it actually makes it worse in the long run.
"Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured."
