How can we say we love God, if we cannot love each other? [Spirituality & Religion]

I am still seeing the racism card used. How can we say we love God, yet hate our neighbor ?

No matter what color we are, we are still human beings, and should act accordingly and civil to each other. "Should" being the key word here, yet many still fail to do so. No matter who says it, or what color, the racism card is getting old, and needs to be done away with.

If you think about it, each race has a different "color". Color should have nothing to do with the way we treat people. Jesus told us to love one another. There was no "IF" in that statement. We are to love each other, period!

We are all loved the same by God. He is not prejudiced in any way , and we need to follow His example. Think what a better world we'd live in, if only we would practice this and show each other respect.

"If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen."

That's true. But is it possible to love people but hate their bad behavior?
@MyHope God's Word is a good example. It says that God hates our sins, yet loves US, as a person. God loves us, but does not like some of the things we do. But he never hates us. He hates sin, because it separates us from Him. There are people that I love, but I don't necessarily like what they do. Yet, I don't hate them. We are not to hate anyone. But I certainly don't like some of the things they do.
