Donald’s Trump pick of Stephen Bannon as “Strategist” in his new administration is controversial because of the voices he let speak from his alt right network. Which raises the question is it best to silence hate or allow all discussions to occur? If we silence hate do we expect it to go away or is it just kept in a boiling pot ready to explode in violence? At the same time allowing hate speech to occur without a challenge enables that evil to spread throughout a community. Therefore I believe we should allow all voices to be heard even the most despicable as long as we make sure that a strong honest counter argument is heard to dismantle that hate. This opinion comes from a person who has broken up friendships with individuals because they have not only used hateful racist words but actual meant those words.
