COLLINS: So much hate is terrifying

Apparently, we’re fine as long as we pay lip service to the concept of inclusivity, despite our real feelings. This hatred extends to gender rights, racial profiling, religious rights, and the list goes on. Protests like the ones a week ago over gender rights point out how extensive this hatred has been.

I presume this whites-only group is against mixed-raced marriages, obviously against same-sex marriages, obviously against having people of colour, Indigenous people, South Asians, Chinese or Japanese people living nearby. What is this hate based on? Is it something in our DNA? How do we stop it? Can we?

Despite all our talk of diversity and inclusion, we really haven’t gone very far in teaching those concepts to others. Those of us who still care about those concepts have to step up and do more than wave signs expressing our love for others.

But that white-only crap in Vancouver isn’t confined there. Hatred toward others has been part of our makeup forever. And obviously, real change is still a long way away.

I’m Doug Collins and that’s One Man’s Opinion.
