Don't hate

Ostensible meaning: "Don't criticize me unfairly, with hatred in your heart."

Actual meaning: "I may have committed a bad act (though obviously I'm not going to admit that in so many words) but you are far worse. At least I don't have hatred in my heart. You are a bad person."

Or: "I reject your right to criticize me at all, even when I am obviously in the wrong, and I show my contempt for the very idea by refusing even to engage with your justified criticism, implying that it is motivated by jealousy and vindictiveness."
You: "Duane, you trashed my car, killed my mom and slept with my girlfriend!"

Duane: "Don't hate, little buddy."

Originating from lyrics in Ice-T's song "Don't Hate the Playa", it was taken as a motto by the Pick-Up/Seduction community as a way of saying "don't hate the guy who's using seduction technics, hate the system that made him do it".

It is both a justification and critic of the men-women social (and some would say biological) dynamics, that entices men (and sometimes women) learning and using highly elaborate methods, sometimes seen as manipulation or social engineering technics, for the main purpose of seducing a women (or man).

It is often justified as a mean to one's end by the argument that "women are wired either biologically or socially such a way that, you HAVE to follow or use particular steps or methods, either naturally or by learning them, in order to seduce a women". Some people going further argument that "women have no choice in the way their brain and emotion are biologically wired, meaning they have no choice in the way they respond to men and seduction, so men have sometimes no choice but to apply these seductions methods of which the practice is called The Game".
- "Man you really played hard to get with this girl"

I don't hate the people, just the government.

"I don't hate the people, just the government" is something people say when they want to make prejudiced, often racist, comments about a country and its people based on zero evidence. For some reason that cannot yet be explained, the people who use this line almost always say stuff that would cause others to think they hate the people.
I don't hate the people, just the government. That's why we need to ban the Chinese from coming to our country until they become civi... I mean democratic. We'll call it the Chinese Ex... Anti-Communist Act.

don't hate

A phrase used by hillbillies on American talk shows like Ricki Lake. It literally translates from hillbillie to 'I admit I'm not as smart/sexy/sure about my gender as you, but please, try not to draw attention to it.'
Ricki Lake: Now we have Mary-Ellen-Susie, who says that it's okay to take her daughter partying, because her daughter is too fat to get laid!"
(Mary-Ellen-Susie wobbles out, and the crowd boo.)

Please don't hate me

1. Something a person says when drunk because she is doing and saying very stupid things and does not want the people around her to think she is an idiot/insane/etc.

2. What a drunk girl says because she is paranoid that all her friends secretly hate her and #talkshit about her behind her back like some #frenemies she knew back in high school. When intoxicated, she becomes slightly paranoid about everything, including this, and begs all her friends to not hate her.
1) Mina: *falls down*
Young: *catches her*
Mina: "Omg I'm so sorry I'm really drunk right now, please don't hate me."
Young: "Chill out, no one hates you."

2) Mina: "Please don't hate me."
Chris: "I should make a drinking game for every time you say 'please don't hate me.'
Mina: "PLEASE DON'T HATE ME PLEASE STILL BE MY FRIEND"
Chris: "You worry too much."
