While hatred can indeed be used as a tool, it is a very dangerous one at that. It is the root of much of the suffering and killing in the world, and I try to harbor as little hatred in me as possible.
Among the things that I do hate: murder, rape, and betrayal. And because I hate these concepts, I would be just as likely as Tom would be to own a weapon, in the event that someone ever tried to murder me or someone I cared about. *That's* what Tom should have hated. Rape and muder, not black men.
