    So if I send you death threats with utterly disgusting suggestions

I would likely laugh in your face, be a bit worried about it, and forget it about a week in.

If you provided some form of substantial evidence of having an address, being able to do harm, etc, then I would call the police and follow their instructions.

    That's the first step in understanding discrimination. Right there. Empathy. Which you seem to have VERY little of.

I have and will continue to try to pry apart my emotions and thoughts on what actions are moral/immoral, right/wrong, etc. The moment I base my actions and words on empathy is the moment I fail to take a moment and observe a situation objectively.
