That's interesting, Paul.  Perhaps you didn't get that what I was
implying by "negative feelings" was direct physical action, such as
burning crosses, torching churches and synagogues, beating people up,
discriminating against them in school and work, lynching them, etc.

I don't think we're talking about the same problem.
