Hate is a choice:

4. You've Got to Be Carefully Taught

“YOU’VE GOT TO BE CAREFULLY TAUGHT"

You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
You’ve got to be taught from year to year,
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade—
You’ve got to be carefully taught.

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

I was cheated before
And I’m cheated again
By a mean little world
Of mean little men.
And the one chance for me
Is the life I know best.

To be on an island
And to hell with the rest.
I will cling to this island
Like a tree or a stone,
I will cling to this island
And be free—and alone.

5. Love is Easy. Hate needs effort.

Jesus is DEI and DEI is Jesus.

6. I totally and absolutely agree.

I think we have let hate seep into our choices and I think we should be careful about that. I think we are often blamed for being weak when we show compassion. That’s a big mistake. Compassion and understanding is not weakness.
