Where does it come from? Is it evil - or just ignorance?

Why is it that I have to hate you just because your ancestors did something mean to mine?

Why do I have to appologize for something my ancestors did?

Why can't we just all get along?
 
Just Because

Because... if you're benefactor of their evil deeds, then you are obliged to correct it... or forfeit the comforts and privileges that you enjoy as a result.

I wouldnt hate you. I would be very angry and indignant, though. I would also expect you to take action to at least attempt to restore any damages that were done. Gandhi has proven that violent reaction and hateful response are not the only recourse.

Do you hate Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka? I mean, how could you not hate them?

I don't hate them, I just think they're really sick and twisted.

thats an interesting way to look at it - but how far back do you go?
 
It depends on how it's used.
Hate or anger can be useful to create positive changes in society.
 
Good Answer....

...and perhaps it was appreciated by some, but I am often surprised (no, I'm not, but you know what I mean) at how many people don't understand this - that they benefit from things that were done by those prior to them, and how if the playing field were REALLY level they would not be where they are...

Red,

No cookie cutter answer to that one.

How bout the 40 acres and a mule (to give an example).

That would a be start.

Indeed, a sad reality...

... which is why our history books are all covered with blood.

And, to generalize if I may, we still havent learned a damn thing.

People, it all has to do with human emotion.

If there was no such thing as human emotion would love or hate exist?

True. The ying-yang bit. If there is High, then there is low, If there is Hot, then there is Cold...If there is Love....well then there is hate.

I don't subscribe to the "hate is taught" line. I think it is natural emotion, like greedy-ness.
It is something you can overcome...But it is difficult.
