If you hate gays so much why dya talk about us so much? Muslims too scary? I'm not overly fond of sport hunters but can't remember the last time I felt like writing a thread about em. And while I don't see the appeal of the BDSMD/s scene I don't write threads about it. If people you don't like occupy so much of your thinking-time you might wanna do some serious self-examination to see if it's them you have a problem with, or if it's yourself. And if it's the latter, why. Maybe you're one of the ones you hate. Or maybe you have a mental issue needing to be addressed when you have no joy in your life to occupy your time you're obsessing on negativity instead.
"Most psychiatrists believe that racism is a cultural and social problem, not a matter of individual pathology.
Harvard University psychiatrist Alvin Poussaint thinks that’s a mistake.
If hatred of others was classified as a mental illness, then these alleged perpetrators could receive psychological treatment for this specific issue. As professional psychotherapists, we could attempt to raise the profile of this problem to involve the entire community. We could develop prevention and early intervention strategies. We could attempt to understand what causes such hatred. Is it the fear that others will take something away from them? Does it derive from not really knowing others from different ethnicities or sexual orientations? What role do politicians and the media play in pitting people against each other? What role does economic class play here? Whose interest does this all serve?
One of the goals of treatment would be to help the client understand the reasons and etiology for his hatred. Hopefully this understanding would transform him to a person who is more empathetic and understanding. He could learn to experience and comprehend his pain. His healing could stop the cycle of violence here."
