Let's clearly define hate speech

There are two sides to the raging debate on what exactly constitutes ‘hate speech’ and what doesn’t but before we delve into this, let us start with an analogy you may have come across on the Internet.

It goes like this; two men are fishing, one on each side of a river. God, who has painted Himself white on the right and jet-black on the left side of His body, comes rowing downstream on a makeshift boat. The man on His right exclaims after God has passed by; “Gosh that man is very white!” The man on the other side interjects rather rudely, “How wrong you are, that man is so black, I had a better view from where I am!”
