Do not allow anyone to ridicule you or write you off.
Truth irks
@KimCrayton1
#Human #history is marred with #violence and #cruelty against those who don't pose a threat
When you don’t understand someone else, it can make you nervous and even afraid. Instead of being curious about each other’s unique experiences, people may judge others for being different – they may have a different skin color, practice a different religion, come from a different country, be older or younger, or use a wheelchair.
@KimCrayton1
When 'humans' judge human beings as being less important or less human than themselves, that is a form of hatred
And hatred/narcissism is a form of insanity
#hate is #bias against #people or #groups with specific characteristics- a person’s #race, #religion, #gender, #SexualOrientation, #disability and #NationalOrigin.
@KimCrayton1
One way to think about hate is as a #pyramid. At the bottom of the pyramid, #hate is a #feeling that grows from biased #attitudes about others, like #stereotypes that certain #groups of #people are #animals, #lazy or #stupid.
Sometimes these biased attitudes and #feelings provide a #foundation for people to act out their #biases, such as through #bullying, #exclusion or #insults.

For example,
If #communities accept biases as OK, some people may move up the pyramid and think it is also OK to discriminate, or believe that specific groups of people are not welcome in certain #neighborhoods, #websites(the #internet), or #jobs because of who they are.
Near the top of the pyramid, some people commit #violence or hate #Crimes because they believe their own way of being is better than others’. They may threaten or physically harm others, or destroy property.
@KimCrayton1
At the very top of the pyramid is #genocide, the
the intent to destroy a particular group – like what #Jewish people experienced during #WorldWarII or what #Rohingya people experienced in #Myanmar, near #China or daily #burning, #kidnap, #slaughter and #rape of #christian #children, #women in Nigeria sponsored by #isil and #isis #terroristGroup and some #muslim #nations etc

Hate at the middle and higher levels of the pyramid happens because no one took action to discourage the biased feelings, attitudes and actions at the lower levels of the pyramid.

Taking #Action Against Hate
Not only can individual people hate, there are also hate groups like the #KuKluxKlan that attack people who are not #white, #Straight or #Christian. Sometimes hate has been written into #law like the #IndianRemovalAct or #JimCrowLaws that persecuted Native and
#BlackAmericans. If we stay silent when we encounter #hate, that #hatred can grow and do greater levels of #harm in the #world.
@KimCrayton1
There are many ways we can help stop hate in our everyday life.
Pay #attention to what is being said around you. If the people you spend a lot of time with are saying hateful things about other groups,
consider #speaking up or changing the #subject into something that will build them up instead. Be an #upstander– sit with someone who is being #targeted and #report when you see or hear #hateIncidents.
@KimCrayton1
Start noticing when you are letting #hateful #words or #behaviors into your #thoughts and #actions. Get to know what hate looks and sounds like in yourself and in others, including what you see #online
Be open to meeting others who have #different #experiences than you and give them a chance to let you know who they are. Be #brave and face your #fears. Be #curious and #kind.
You are not alone standing up against hate, there are many #HumanRights groups and #government #initiatives also doing the #work of eradicating hate, too. We all have a “response-ability,” or the ability to respond. As #CivilRights #leader the Rev. #MartinLutherKing Jr. said,
"Darkness cannot drive out #darkness, only #light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
@KimCrayton1
You just might find that it is easier to #love other people than to #hate them. Others will see how you #behave and will #follow your #lead
