Greetings, HATE IS HATE Hatred shares a universality. It is insidious and has a life of its own. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forgery that has prompted generations of hate, rears its ugly head in antisemitic circles in every generation. So too does the familiar trope of the crazed, violent Black man, resulting in the spate of anti-Black lynchings in the Jim Crow South and fears of violence from the most innocent and unthreatening to this day. Then there is the canard that families attempting to cross our border, escaping terrible conditions at home, are dangerous and intend us harm. All of this furthers personal and political agendas motivated by irrational fears of “the other.”
