The word “hate” is often used casually to mean “extreme dislike.”
You have probably heard your friends say they hate that movie, or they hate winter. But you might also hear someone say they hate a group of people.
Maybe because of who they are, what they look like, what they believe, or who they love. Hate starts by “othering” people based on their identities. In the worst-case scenario, this “othering” can fuel violence against other people.
Defining Types of Hate
Hate-based violence happens when someone decides to act on bias, prejudice, and hate against a person or a group of people. It can take different forms and happen online or in person. These acts are purposeful and meant to intimidate members of a specific identity group.
There are three groups of people involved in acts of hate-based violence:
People who get hurt.
People who do the hurting.
People who watch the hurting.
But you can do more than stand by!
You can upend hate by noticing mistreatment and standing up for people who are being hurt. This is also known as being an UPstander. By learning to identify aggressive behavior, we can all help stop hateful actions.
