Exploring yahoo answers, the web, the news, etc... I see hate being acted upon and promoted by many of different backgrounds. I see Michael Richards expressing hate on TV, I see an african american college professor saying kill all the whites, I see non-believers of a religion attacking the the believers, I see the believers of that same religion attacking the others. The thing that bothers me is that all the hate is stereotyped to a certain group, not directly to one person. Not that I promote hate towards anyone, but I have been taught to live by the Golden Rule. But why are there so many that are uncivilized in their interactions with each other? (Please no answers that stereotype a certain group, religion, or race)

Originally when I wrote my question, it was because of what I had been seeing within my own country. Again, I apologize for that.

Plain and simple, it is the hateful ones that get all the attention. They are actually a small minority of the population... and I think that applies the world over. Look for the good people and you will find them, they are everywhere!!!

unfortunately when you get a mix of different people in one place, their differences often breed hatefulness. Instead of celebrating differences, they tend to see them as "threats" against their own individual group. It is not just America however, it is wherever you see different groups of different people. I know in Britain there is a lot of the same toward the Pakistani and Indian, even in countries like Cuba, where there is an Oriental population, there are these problems. It doesn't seem like it is ever going to be a problem we can eradicate, but things have gradually gotten better over the years in the US, just look at how things were back in the 40's & 50's.

Some Americans are hateful. Most of us are not. Making sweeping judgements on an entire nation doesn't exactly make me feel warm and fuzzy all over either. The hate mongers always get the most air time. The rest of us quietly go about our lives and pray for these lost souls.

So-called 'civilized society' in general is becoming more agressive. It's sad. Most people are followers and mesh in with this and other negative aspects of society. I believe it will get much worse and reach a boiling point.
Ever drive in New Jersey?

Yes, I too am puzzled by this.
The only thing I can think of, is that because America is such a vast country, with such a massive population, by the law of averages, you'll get lots of nutters, be it a small minority.
