Why hate is a bad word

   Today I have a new post concerning hate. Hate is such a strong word. People just toss it around like its nothing. I have heard these phrases countless times and I'm sure you've heard them to...

    "I just hate so and so."

    "I hate you."

    "Man that girl (boy) gets on my nerves. I just hate em"

   Sounds familiar right? In my opinion hate is a bad word. I don't use that word and I have no desire to use that word and neither should anybody else. I honestly don't even say I don't like a person. Here's what I'll say...

   "I don't like that persons attitude today"

   Do you see how that is not downgrading or being hateful or hurtful in any way? You're not saying you hate the person your just expressing "Hey, is something going on with her today because she seems kind of off?". Make sure when you say something like this though you're not gossiping, because if you're not careful it can come off that way. Nobody should bring you low enough to the point that you just have a desire to say you hate them or you feel you do hate them.

   Whenever I hear someone say hate I twitch a little bit, because it bothers me like crazy.

   Before I wrote this post I researched on the internet people's views about the word hate and I found a really great article that I will put below so check it out. It just so happens to turn out that when I researched hate a lot of the articles expressed why they feel hate is a "bad word". I guess that means that a lot of the people who use hate a lot, or feel that hate is not such a horrible word do not express their feelings online or publicly. Most people who do post their feelings online and publicly do not like the word hate.

   Many people probably wonder "What if I'm saying I hate a food" or "What if i say I hate that shirt"? And my response to that question is I have no idea the correct answer. Honestly, their probably isn't one at all. This is one of those questions that would be an opinionated answer and there's no right or wrong answer. However I somewhat feel that the word hate is the word hate. Therefore you cannot change the meaning. The dictionary meaning of the word hate if you're using it as a verb is "Feel intense or passionate dislike for someone." The noun meaning of the word is "Intense or passionate dislike: feelings of hate." Those definitions do not in any way sound lovely or something that I personally would like to be apart of.         

   These are just my views on the word hate and if you feel different or just have something to say please don't hesitate to comment on what you are feeling. I want to thank you for taking time out your day to read this short, little article. Don't forget to check out the post about hate that I have left in the information below!!! :)

Racism is hateful, hurtful, ugly

   Racism is so hateful. Its hurtful. It's ugly. I just recently had an encounter with a racist on youtube. They were talking about whites and blacks in relationships and how blacks should not try to be with whites and that they feel sorry for whites who are with blacks.
   Now in my opinion this to me sounds like this person was trying to make whites sound more superior than blacks. Let me be the first to tell you that blacks are not superior than whites and whites are not more superior than blacks, we are all equal.
   Of course after I read this comment I couldn't refrain myself from replying to this message. It was such a vulgar post I actually got angry. Soon after that anger turned into sympathy for the person who wrote the message because they obviously weren't taught the right things about racism.
   I am in no way racist or an any ways classify myself as better than any race of people. I just needed to get my point out and my view across.
   I hope this post has touched and helped at least on person.
