Hate is learned.  you're not born programmed to hate, unless there is a chemical imbalance in your brain.

Glad you highlighted this phenom on AVN, Max.

Hate is in some cases learned (e.g. in ultranationalism) but also programmed in other cases. The suspiciousness about the "unknown" makes many people hate. E.g. black people coming to the a predominately white European area, people hate in order to "save" their community in their eyes. Hate is in our DNA whether we like it or not. What we can do is to prevent the hate from evolving too much by encouraging democracy and equal human rights.
 
If you take a black baby and raise him in a white family, do you think he'll still 'hate' white people?! 

Hate is not in our DNA...  You should try it with your kids...  Subject them to unconditional love, and never speak ill of anyone in front of them.  They will not know how to hate someone that's different than them. 

Did Kurds ever do anything to you directly?  They haven't to me, but I grew up with that sentiment because of my environment.

If Kurds would not have killed my father's cousins and attacked our Assyrian villages in Turabdin I would not be in the west today.

And I still do not believe that it only has to do with the environment. Hate is in our DNA whether we like it or not and what we can do is to prevent it from evolving. We all know that all of us have some kind of hidden racism in us, even if you do not want to admitt it. Do you want to see your white daughter with a black male, seriously?

Have you ever heard of the ideas that were flourishing in the French society at the time of the Enlightment? They were saying that a child was "born as a white paper where we as parents fill in the paper", now all of us know today that DNA plays its role along with the environment. Some kids are born aggressive whereas others are born very quiet where their environment can influence them.
 
If you didn't view black as bad, then why would you think your white daughter with a black man is 'wrong'?  You were not born programmed to 'hate'.  We all have the ability to 'hate'.  Just like we're born with the ability to kill.  Doesn't mean we're born hating everyone in the world but our own people.

I do not view black as "bad". I am talking from a human perspective. I have been taught to love all races by my parents but facts still remain, the "unknown" will always be frightening to the human race.

We all have the ability to hate and we all have the killer instinct for survival needs as it is in our DNA.

And still, would you seriously want and have nothing against your white daughter dating and having physical contact with a black man? I can tell you that I would not want that for my daughter. It is not like I would forbid her, but I would be against it.
 
If you don't view black as 'bad', then why would you be opposed to it? lol  Don't give me that unknown blabber.  There are black people who are way better than Assyrians.  'Black' is not unknown anymore.

having the ability to, and inheriting are totally different things.  You agree we have the ability for that emotion...  Doesn't mean you are born with it (Specifically hating an idea or person for being different).

There are not many black people who are way better than Assyrians, there are millions of Black people who are better than us. But still, I am convinced that hate is partly in the human DNA:

You still have not answered my question :)
 
mmmmmm Dolma!

Hanuni, hate is an emotion we can feel, but it is engineered. You are confusing hate and fear, for which the latter is a precursor. It is a fear of 'otherness' that can easily be remedied with education and knowledge. Left alone or exaggerated with hateful rhetoric to serve some purpose or another, what starts as natural human curiousity turns into fear, and fear is conditioned into hate (done a bit of Yoda there).

Anyway, survival is a broad topic. Survival as an individual or as a species? The latter requires variation - which is an inevitability. Those who hate will eventually die out. The world has no use for them.
