Warning: This thread is a true downer.
What would you say if I were to tell you that not everyone involved in the slave trade was a barbarian?
That the branding, the whipping, the throwing of sick slaves overboard, the locks used to hold slaves mouths shut - all of that were terrible side-effects of one person's original idea?
Because it takes un-natural, pure hatred to travel to an unexplored destination, study a people and then pluck them from their homes to live in conditions you wouldn't even let their PET DOG live through. Right?
I'm talking before anyone was like "Hey, let's jump on a boat and go to the Dark Continent!"
Before anyone ever even called it that: you can't hate what you can't even fathom, can you?
And how about the Holocaust? When you get down to it, what did the '40s Jews ever do to anyone to deserve THAT?
The Native Americans? People fight for the survival of some endangered species right NOW. So how could some be okay with making a group of PEOPLE extinct then?
Anyone hate gay people on here? So they fuck with other boys - what does that have to do with YOU?
Where does hate come from? Really?
I think some of the stuff white people do is weird. I honestly do. Working a nine to five only to piss it all out during the weekend (British work culture) sounds super depressing to me.
Most British people's teeth are "wonky" and a lot of white people (Pols, Germans, British) smell funny.
Their skin is pale and pasty and unattractive. Plus a lot of 'em smoke, which is a killer for the none smokers:
Doesn't mean I think they should all be dead, though...
So what. the. fuck.
How can someone muster so much hatred in such a short time? I'm talking the twelve y/o kids of racist/homophobic/football gang parents?
It can't be fear. The gangs of twenty plus who carried out lynchings weren't afraid of the one "darkie", were they?
Plantation owners weren't afraid their "property" would report them to the authorities, were they? Hell, their "property" didn't even speak the same language! Andlet's not
And to those much older, Hitler didn't seem scared of the Jews to you, did he?
This isn't to point fingers. So don't point fingers. I've said this many times before, if black people thought of colonization first the world would've been a much different place. And English wouldn't be a lot of people's first language.
Are we all just truly evil deep down? Every single one of us human beings?

What is the true motivation behind hatred?
Laziness? A lot of people don't fully understand what they hate, nor do they have the inclination to.
Hating is just easier.
To make yourself feel better for insecurities? When I hate something/someone it doesn't make me feel good. It doesn't make me feel good at all.
What makes people hate?
The devil? Doesn't count for those who aren't religious.
So: what?

Because it's like this Tracy Morgan shit that went down recently some people are comparing it to the things that guy who played Kramer said about those black people and what that fashion designer said to those Jews in the restaraunt.
And all I can think is they're RIGHT to lump Tracy's gay rants into the same category of hate displayed by Kramer and at the same time they're WRONG.
But I don't know WHY.

Wow. It's like, you think about the reasons behind some people's actions and your brain can't even comprehend them as valid.
Why? Why why why why why?
what do you mean? confidence in our abilities?

I think ignorance is behind hate and the absence of kindness....love needs to be taught all the time and your never too young to learn.
Ive been reading consolations of philosphy my alain de botton and its pretty good....."the person with sick mind turns to philosopher"
