No. And I don't believe that it's a minority thing either. We wouldn't be having all the problems that we do have.

And that is just one problem in one well off country let alone the whole world.

There are lots of very nice and kind people but they don't tend to make the headlines on national news.

Probably not, but it's also vastly magnified by our focus on it. Have you ever heard the news say "In tonight's headlines, 7 Billion people didn't hurt anyone today!"?

24 hour rolling news stations doesn’t help it’s true,always seeking the most ‘sensational’ story@HazPassportForYourGalaxy

@Wordlover Yeah it's human nature to some degree. Like when we involuntarily look at a car wreck but it's important to realize it's not the whole extant of things.

Turn off your TV. Get your hands back in dirt and listen to people out and about that have different viewpoints with an open heart.

It's not as much our doing as one might think. Humans are inherently loving. We've been trained to hate and fear by those who profit the most from the workings of the corporate machine. Hatred and fear will remain highly promoted as long as it remains profitable.

No because we are still identified by our race, age, status, etc. If we didn't have the media making up crap all of the time, I think it would help. Buts its never going to stop, unfortunately.

No. It is just that now hateful people have a megaphone.

We haven’t changed. Social media has just allowed people to express their uglier sides in relative anonymity.
