why is hate so powerful in the u.s.a and not helping one another?

There is not enough being done to stop the hatred and as long as people view others as a threat they are not going to help them.  It shouldn't be this way but the fact is that most people won't open their door to someone they don't know even if that person is in need...they don't want to get involved and that is sad.  Many an innocent person is hurt everyday because of ignorance but until people see one another as equals it is inevitable it will ever change.

Its because they know almost nothing about a group of people, people who don't understand people either try to understand people or choose the easier rout and simply hate them.  Mostly they don't want to understand these people because even before they know anything about these people, they feel threatened or scared.  Whether it be because the threat of lost jobs, terrorism, or something else.  Hate is just the easier path despite it not being the better one, and as for War its the larger scale of that hate.

People are scared of things they don't understand, and "Hate" is the result.\n\nIf you or something you like is being hated, it is never the fault of the person or thing being hated... it is the fault of the person who is DOING the hating. THEY are uncomfortable.\n\nYou can apply this to anything in your life... music, people, lifestyles etc.

Hi, Triumph.  Every big brother has a tendency to poke his ugly nose into the affairs of the younger ones.  US is no exception.  Till the commencement of Second World War, the US was a non-interfering country and it was busy in the development of its own people.  When it became a super power, it started to think that it has got a right to inerfere in the affairs of other countries as if it is the protector of the entire globe.  This attitude of superiority complex has become the major hindrance for the international peace because some other countries also want to follow the same principle.

Many Americans (unlike myself) are stupid, ignorant, xeno-phobic, racist, are willing/unwilling fools participating in discrimination, fearful and hateful, and ethno-centric assholes. \n\nIt is sad that like the propaganda bull shit shoved by both goverments is followed by their supporters, our goverment is led by a bunch of rich selfish hateful shameless assholes that are minons of the rich and powerful just like theirs is. Both goverments feed both of us lies and many of us are mindless fools of the proganda and we belive the stories about how evil the other one is. \n\nBoth governments have leaders that say they care about the own people but really don't and all they really care about is themselves and their masters (who have even more money and power then them). Both governments are also lead by so-called religious leaders and that a crock of shit! I say both are horrible examples of Christians and Muslims. \n\nBoth have a bunch of mindless followers and minons to do thier bidding. \n\nI like all kinds of people and I have nothing against anyone. I wish I could say the same of all Americans

First, to answer your question...some people hate other people because they're taught to.  They're taught to hate by their parents, and their parents are taught to hate by their parents and so forth.... These beliefs have been handed down through generations.  \n\nThese beliefs were created in order to make people feel "better" about the institution of slavery.  If you can "demonize" someone, it's easier on your conscience to justify enslaving them and breaking up their families and killing them, etc...\n\nUnderstand, these beliefs were promulgated and reinforced from about 1619 (when slaves arrived here) until TODAY.  People of African descent were only LEGALLY allowed to participate in society fully after 1964 (voting rights act -AND, Congres STILL has to renew it every few years.  People of European descent or women don't have to endure this scrutiny).  \n\nIf you want to focus on a "color", look at Green.  Those with money have pitted those without money against people of color.  People of color have been the socio-political-economic scape goats of people with money.  Whenever people of limited education and limited means start to ask those in power why their lot in life sucks, those in power simply point to people of color and say, "well, it's because of illegal immigrants, or outsourcing, or foreign imports".  It's easier to make someone ELSE responsible for your misery than to take ownership of it yourself.\n\nSecond, there is only ONE RACE:  HUMAN.  According to the Human Genome Project, EVERY HUMAN on the planet is 99.9% IDENTICAL!  Yep!  The only thing that separates us...is US.  We draw political, social, economic, racial, gender, etc...lines.  "The only sin is separation."  Thinking, BELIEVING that we're really that different from each other.\nAnd to think, we make that stuff up!  We create that separation.  And for the sake of what?  \n\nAs Ben Franklin said, "we must all stand together, or surely we will hang separately."\n\nI wish you Peace.

hate is as old as the ages.some people say education is a partial cure,   but it  is not a total cure.  a great deal of it comes from within . how you were raised. a great deal  of it   comes from your environment. some of it comes from your own ideology or political leanings.  some of it comes from  religion.  i cant make someone like me if they hate me. but I can always strive to look at myself and try to get past it  and denounce it.

Ignorance is the base of all hate. Many Americans are unwilling to learn about the culture of their neighbors, mainly becausse of our egocentrism. We (in general...) believe that America and the American way IS THE WAY so what is the point of educating ourselves about a culture or people that "don't matter"? This is called willed ignorance. An unwillingness to learn. And this ignorance leads to misunderstanding which leads to hate. The only thing one can do to stop this is to not hate...stop the cycle...eventually all the old bastards will die off. (ha).

I dont hate America.But the world`s richest , most powerful and freest secular democracy should be liked by all.America fails to command that  respect .The reasons are 1)America supports monarchies,Theocracies,Military dictatorships,human right violators,and almost gives nothing to poorer countries. 2)When poor but learned youth want to migrate there American "private employers" pay a pittance to them and exploits cheap labor.3)In America cheap labor include doctors,dentists,software professionals and biotechnologists. 4)America wages WAR  against communism but after ousting the communist regimes (governing the poorest of the poor) leaves the victims(people) high and dry. 5) American freedom has gone to extremes by legalising homo-trans-sexuality and and loose sex. 6)Majority of Americans are Christians,but none in America emulates Jesus in loving the lowest the least and the last. and7)America unrealistically spends zillions of money on "space" and "army"while America`s own blacks live in "mobile"houses.

because, people cannot understand eachother.  anything different is perceived to be evil, and anything evil is obviously bad.  What the world needs is some education on different religions.  If we all learned about each other, we wouldn't be so afraid of one another.

Because we live in the age of the (undeclared) American Empire, and what the US says, even if it reeks of double standard, goes. \nIf people are pissed off it's only because they are inherently evil...

Americans, like our President, are notorious for our lack of knowledge and lack of interest in the views of people of other countries and other cultures. Remember Freedom Fries?  In clinical jargon, we describe those who feel that they should be treated special because of the type of person they are, and who lack empathy for others,  as "narcissistic." Thus, America exhibits a kind of social narcissism. In recent years psychoanalysts have learned that narcissism is accompanied by pervasive, yet disowned, fear, shame, and hostility.\n\nWe need a revolution to restore the people's pride and break free from the corporate takeover that is everyday life in the USA.

Simple propaganda is my opinion along with jealousy.  WE are a generous nation and the world is so very Lucky that the USA has been the Superpower for so many years.  Sometimes I think the world wants us to stop evil but not to many other nations want to help so we look like were are med ling.  If we don't help, we're "ignoring the pain and suffering of others".  It's a catch 22 really.  I simply wish other countries would not just "back us" (a lot of our allies) but actually, physically HELP out!!

The country is divided yes, but thats not the reason people can't talk to eachother.  Americans are spoiled, selfish, and generally immature.  Instead of intellectual discussion, we resort to name-calling and clicks.  Its really sad, but I don't know how to fix it.  Maybe we could build a giant hand to slap everyone upside the head or something so that they would shut-up and listen to eachother? (j/k)

Hatred is required for mankind to survive.  It is used to make sure that we will fight for our resources.  As with all our survival instincts it sometimes doesn't work well in "civilized" society but it's there and it's not going to go away any time soon.

People hate each other because they are not pleased with themselves which causes them to become jealous of others. Most people are jealous because they see others with the things they feel should be thiers instead of focusing on themselves and trying to get things on their own.
