I find it funny how people can "not like" someone they've never had the pleasure of meeting, or even conversing in any manner with. I learned a long time ago that distaste with the unfamiliar, is usually the result of being unable to pacify your envy, jealousy, or disclosed obsession. Its almost like you love or admire a person so much or you see something in them that you want for yourself and don't have and it translates into "dislike"? As humans, there isn't any law of morality that says we must approve of everything, but why has the disapproval of the unfamiliar or unknown become so normal? 

 

In the African American community, the word "hate" or "hater" has be popularized since the Bad Boy Records reigning era of the early to mid ninties. With songs like "Player Haters" off the multi-platinum classic Life After Death and the late ninties club anthem "Player Why You Hatin" by  Da Club Up Thugs ft. The Hot Boyz and Big Tymers. In those days the "hater" was seen as a jealous antagonist who would do somewhat evil things to distract the "shine" from the protagonist, thus creating uneccessary "beef"

 

HATE IS THE NEW OBSESSION
