So Which Is IT?
Is it thoughts? Is it actions? Is it only one or the other?
​
As far as thoughts go, there are many prejudiced and/or racist or sexist thinking people. We never are able to label them until they commit actions.
​
Should an action be punished additionally because in the process of committing said action the thoughts behind it were revealed?

Freedom
Are you suggesting that we should have freedom of thought?
​
Im thinking that you feel you should not be judged...or targeted...because of your personal thoughts on certain individuals.
