This is the second year in a row that hate crime numbers have increased, reversing the trend of the preceding 20 years. The numbers are consistent with those reported in recent months by groups like the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, he says, as well as by cities and other municipalities.
Still, hearing a former leader of the free world concede that hate is having a moment? Why is this happening? And why now? The answer, sadly, is no. Hatred of outsiders has been a cyclical thing in America, and we seem to be in such a cycle now. Economic and social insecurity fuels bigotry, and new forms of communication — the internet, especially — helps it spread.
And understanding how people are recruited into hate is a first step in combating it. Hate in America began even before there was an America.
The lesson learned from such a look is that while history and psychology act on our prejudices in predictable ways, hate manifests itself differently in every era. Like all waves of hate, this newest one comes with distinct origins and unique challenges. Specifically, the rise of the alt-right has been enabled by changing norms and technology that make it easier to become radicalized in the first place.
In fact, the rise of hate within America shares roots with the rise of hate toward America; the same tools and trends are helping to facilitate both terrorism and nativism. Hate, in short, is becoming more accessible than ever before — and that poses a distinctive, and particularly insidious, threat.
Human beings have always harbored bias. The pathways to hate, experts tell us, are hardwired into our brains. One of the earliest attempts to grapple with hate in psychological terms was Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War , a case study of German anti-English sentiment by British neurosurgeon Wilfred Trotter.
Theorists of the time came to regard prejudice as pathological, and they tried to link racism and anti-Semitism to specific personality syndromes. The most influential of these efforts — and the most widely criticized — was The Authoritarian Personality , a nearly 1,page tome authored by philosopher Theodor Adorno, a refugee from Nazi Germany, and a team of psychologists from the University of California, Berkeley.
The assumption that prejudice was a personality problem, however, soon fell out of fashion. We cannot possibly avoid this process. Orderly living depends upon it. Since then, most research into prejudice has sought to measure and describe these processes.
The prevalence and persistence of stereotyping, for instance, was established long ago. In , Daniel Katz and Kenneth Braly asked Princeton University students to list traits of 10 racial and ethnic groups, then check the five they felt best characterized each group.
Yet stereotypes are only half of the story. In fact, in-group bias is so potent that it can alter our perceptions of the differences between people.
This illusion can, in turn, deform our sense of why others do what they do. To date, the racial version of the test has been taken online more than 17 million times. It asks subjects to associate positive words with white faces and negative words with black faces, then do the opposite; the difference in reaction times is taken as evidence that making a positive association with members of a different race creates cognitive dissonance. So how does bias become bigotry?
And why is white nationalism on the rise now? Yahoo News uses the two terms interchangeably throughout this story. Hate has been simmering under the surface of American life since the beginning. There have been ebbs and flows of xenophobia, directed at specific groups, such as the Chinese, the targets of the Chinese Exclusion Act of The first began during Reconstruction, when the Ku Klux Klan emerged in the defeated South, its malice aimed at freed slaves who were exercising newly granted rights.
Next, the early s, when Klan activity increased again, now directed at recent immigrants — particularly Catholics and Jews from Southern and Eastern Europe.
Those years marked the first era that immigration quotas were established in the U. In this little-remembered episode during the s, more than half a million Mexican immigrants — including one-third of the entire Mexican population of Los Angeles — were repatriated by the Hoover administration. Among these were hundreds of thousands of children who were born in the U.
And the final major spike on the graph? Many sociologists who study hate believe we are at the beginning of it right now — a period that is in its own way as dark as, while also substantially different from, some of the worst of times that came before. An uptick in reported hate crimes across the country.
The killing of Lt. Richard Collins by a white supremacist in Maryland. The double homicide and severe wounding of good Samaritans defending teen girls in Portland [Ore. Any analysis of American hate, therefore, requires parsing what these eras do and do not have in common. Economic uncertainty also plays a major role here. During Reconstruction, more prosperous Southern whites lost wealth with the emancipation of the slaves and working-class whites lost jobs to a newly freed workforce.
Later, during the Depression, white workers blamed their struggles on Mexican immigrants, although the newcomers were, statistically speaking, even worse off.
During Reconstruction, that notion manifested itself in attempts by the KKK to keep newly liberated blacks from voting. These are other people you could reasonably expect to come in contact with your message. For example, you might send an email to a customer, who, in this case, is your primary audience, and copy cc: your boss, who would be your secondary audience.
Beyond these two audiences, you also have to consider your hidden audience, which are people who you may not have intended to come in contact with your audience or message at all, such as a colleague who gets a forwarded copy of your email.
These steps will give you an idea of what questions to ask and what information can be useful in better connecting with your audience. These categories of information have been assembled into a job aid to help you conduct your very own audience analyses.
