    That is the great thing about hate it doesn’t really require specific knowledge. Most of the people who lynched black folks in the south didn’t have a lot of specific understanding of the cultures or history of the people they hated they had a sort of diffuse hatred based on nothing real. Assuming that historical issues aren’t a root of anything because the rabble doesn’t specifically understand why they are supposed to hate someone is just a basic misunderstanding of how people work.

    It’s like thinking the smell of shit doesn’t come from the turd because the people smelling it can’t actually see it.
