Thank you for that info. After doing some reading about Kipling I see what you are saying. Even though I may have misinterpreted the poem. That's the beauty of poetry. It's up to the reader to interpret it how they like.
Came across this while reading an opinion piece about the Berkeley riots. First time I had ever seen it and it really spoke to me. I didn't start out with this hate in my heart but as these regressive assholes keep this shit up it's getting stronger. One day there might very well be a reckoning. If so I'm not wanting to start it but I'll have a great desire to finish it.

The original was called The Beginnings, and it didn't say "When the Saxon began to hate."
It said "When the English began to hate."
Ponder why it was changed.
