End hate? It can't be done. There will always be good and evil.

Hate is a word that is overused and thus loses its meaning.

For example many religious folk are against gay marriage. That certainly doesn't mean they hate gay people. Just as many are against religion without hating those that are religious. That said there are those that hate and some of those are willing to act out their hate. Thank God they are a small minority.

I agree with little to nothing that several here post on a almost daily basis and most likely it's vice versa, but that doesn't mean I hate them and hope they don't hate me.

This country has gotten to the point that many times feelings mean more than facts even when said feelings are irrational and that's sad fact we have to live with.

of course there will.
but we can do as much as possible. and hate takes so many forms...look at the laws being passed here in the last few months, legalizing discrimination. it's just one example of a group trying to be special, more equal if you wish to use animal farm jargon. how can they supersede the constitutions guarantee of equal protection under the law by doing that? one state just the other day passed a law that their magistrates can refuse to marry a couple. how can that be allowed?
i doubt james madison intended his bill of rights to be twisted for such things.

back to the subject....what is necessary to get people to understand that altho someone may be 'different', that doesn't equal evil?

Very true OD

This went viral a couple months back. Imagine if the roles were reversed in this video. It got maybe 30 seconds on the local news. However, if it were a white on black thing, then it would have been all over the media for a lot longer than 30 seconds.

Most that see this want to beat the ever living crap out of her or worse.
