    Fear is one bad incident away from hate.

    Sure. But that doesn’t mean it is a logical from an evolutionary standpoint.

    It took a long time to get over that and realize why it happened but in between all I could think was black people are mean bastards because they think all white people are racist.

    I am glad you got past that.

      That’s exactly what it means.

      If you’re already terrified of something and then something bad happens because of that something it’s going to create resentment and therefore hatred.

      Fear and hate follow the same vein. It’s easy to hate what you fear simply because it makes you afraid.
