18. Why would I need to observe it to understand it?

What is there to understand about hate?

That some people are ignorant? I refuse to believe that. There are neo-nazi's who have come around and realized that they are the ones spreading hate (the one guy who got his tattoos removed comes to mind).

There is no other group, save black people, who are shit on on the internet than Jewish people. Jewish people actually may be hated the most since even black people hate them. It's insane how often I encounter it. But I think anti-black racism is probably more pervasive.
