Are we really that different? No, we are very much alike – on the inside.
There are many levels to hate and, yes, racism is very much still a thing. The current political climate here in America and all over the world has attempted to legitimize those who still think that to be White, to be Christian, to be Straight is superior/chosen/preferred over peace, love and acceptance of our differences.
We all need to work on making our “in-groups” larger and more inclusive. We need to open our hearts and our minds and be curious enough to learn more about other cultures and ethnicities. Be the change within your own circle, and others will follow.
