I believe the answer is:

despise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'condemn' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'speed is crazy' is the wordplay.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'speed'+'is'='speedis'
'speedis' is an anagram of 'DESPISE'.

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for despise that I've seen before include "Loathe, look down on" , "Hold in contempt" , "Hate, disdain" , "Feel contempt for (someone/something)" , "Feel contempt for; scorn" .)
