Destinee Mangum Hate is alive and well. This is not only true for the war torn Middle East, but also the United States, where democratic values are the fundamental beliefs and constitutional principles of the society, uniting all Americans under the same safe roof. These values are expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the constitution of the United States and in any significant document or speech. However, the United States, a country established by immigrants, has turned into a place where hate dominates politics. It also became a reality for some Americans who have to survive daily hateful harassment, intimidation and assault. "You call it terrorism. I call it patriotism!" This is exactly how Jeremy Joseph Christian, a white supremacist accused of killing two men and injuring one in Portland, Oregon, defended himself in court.
