Truth About Hate

            Hate is a word commonly talked about and is all around us in today's society. Crimes are constantly being committed and people are getting judged left and right for their religion or for just the color or their skin. In the movie The Truth About Hate, it gets a message across to its viewers that hate today is being spread daily throughout schools and local neighborhoods. Everyday people are shot and killed due to some form of hate. The movie covered many different types of hate such as: religion, race and gay/ lesbian. For each of these categories of hate they took a little story and tried to make the situation better. .
             In the religion portion of the video, it focused on the holocaust and its affect on Jews. Some of the kids being interviewed on their thoughts sounded hard core about their beliefs that what Hitler lead was right. After they talked to a survivor or the vicious acts of the Holocaust, their whole perception and way of thinking changed drastically. I think that by hearing something or putting a real life situation in the story can sometimes help for better understanding. The film ventured into many other issues but I thought that the religion part was the most important due to what happened. It really affected me and made me think of how awful and sick these people where to have done something so horrific. It really made a impact on the way I look at other people and I think I will think before I call one of my friends a "fag," because you never know who you could be offending.
