For example, when his signature says "the future of America is bright, not white" he is promoting hate.
We are probably the same distance from center but on opposite sides. I get what you're reading into the OP, but I am pointing out that has to be read into it. It is not literally there. And, mind that I am only considering the one OP post because that is what my comment was on that has been criticized. For that purpose, it is disingenuous to compare my comment to any other posts by the author, and I will always reject such attempts to do so as such.
As for 'bright not white,' I do not see that as racist, but an accurate reference to the FACT that the USA is not a white nation. We are a diverse nation with lots of varieties. And since we are becoming even more diverse, projections show that whites will actually become a minority at some point in the not too distant future. Once again, I don't see a reference to this reality as having anything to do with hatred. Actually it can be seen as countering the hatred of the many all white alt right hate groups out there, which are listed as racist hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
