Alex Merced Says: I feel people confuse carelessness, insensitivity and ignorance with hate. These are all different things. One person may exhibit all, some or none of these traits. None of these traits are traits we should want or want others to have but they don’t occur in a vacuum. The more interesting question isn’t which people have these traits but what led them have them and what does this tell us about how we can positively influence them and others to reduce these traits and prevent them from developing in others. Shame, isolation, and judgement seem to me to be more about self gratification and “appearing vigilant” than pro-actively trying to build a better culture across generations by build relationships where we can influence through our positive example and empathy. #amliberty
