Yes, I have. I had a neighbor once who was a racist, and he got into an argument with a black neighbor over a parking space. The apartment complex had already told him he didn't have an assigned parking space, but he was determined that he was going to park in this space. One day the black neighbor in the next building parked there, and he confronted him. I tried to intervene, and he called me a "n" lover and hit me. He then threatened to kill my ""n" loving a$$" in front of witnesses, and his dad showed up with a gun. I had my young son with me, so I ran up into my apartment and called the police. I was terrified, because he lived right across the hall.
To top it all off, this man had applied to the police academy! I knew the chief of police, so I called him the next day and told him that if he gave that man a gun and a badge, he was asking for minorities to be killed, and was probably putting my life in danger. Of course, he didn't make it into the police academy, and was asked to move from the apartment complex, but I was still afraid for a long time that he would harm me or my son.

Far more than once.
Primarily because my own views tend to be misunderstood. The biggest one is probably that purism is a part of my religion. Which.. means I believe that people should only have children within their own race. I'm often taken for a racist because of it.. in reality I just would like to see some recessive gene traits such as blond hair and blue eyes live on in the genetic pool. I don't think them superior, but I imagine you can guess how that could be taken the wrong way and would incite threats of violence.
I also believe in eugenics. Which.. doesn't help.. I think I've been called "Hitler" and "Nazi" at least 1000 times in my life.

Do you mind if I ask what religion you are? I am just curious. I am interested in learning more about different religions and what they believe. Were you born in to this religion or is this something you chose later in life?

I am Odinist. It's a branch of the Asaturu or those who follow the old Norwegian gods. I was born Catholic ironically lol
