(23,664 posts)There's nothing more destructive than hate. Oddly enough, free range, unfocused hate ultimately harms the hater with very little damage to the hatee.
Ms. Banks' hatred will have no noticeable impact on 99.99% of the white people she professes to hate. Most of them don't even know who she is and won't spend even one second worrying about the fact that she hates them.
Over the long term, hate will not benefit Ms Banks either. It may nurture her muse and give meaning to her music but it will eventually eat away at her sense of self and worth as a human being. And in the end, she, not the white people who crapped on her, will be the worse for it. Especially if it manifests itself in physical issues later in life.
It's cheap and easy to hate, but it takes maturity and courage to rise above it.
