How are these even remotely comparable? If I said "I believe negroids are mentally inferior due to genetic differences." it in no way threatens black people. You might be able to make a case if you could prove that the claim caused quantifiable harm such as fiscal damages, loss of job, etc. but that would not only be hard to prove but would also require no further "hate" charge since the person in question would already be paying back the losses.
