In 2012-2013, I hosted an online radio show called ”The Hate Project”. The goal of this show was to explore the sources of bigotry and hate by allowing people who are racist, sexist, homophobic to call in anonymously in order to have an honest discussion about why they hate. I’m revisiting this project to reflect on the interactions I had on the show and how many of the ideas expressed are currently mirrored in mainstream America under Trump.

I revisit "The Hate Project - Episode 19" originally broadcast on February 4, 2013. I have a long conversation with Dragon1488, the klansman who is a regular caller on this show. Roman also calls in, challenges Dragon on his hateful anti-Semitic views by mentioning the family members he will never know because they died in the Holocaust. Dragon and I debate the Bible. Dragon also admits he works at a major Fortune 100 company, and that he fires black employees more than white employees. Upon reflection, I am a little too casual in this conversation and I wonder if the congeniality I share with this klansman is irresponsible, even if my intentions are good. Also discussion of the Tinley Park 5, law enforcement's current inadequacy in confronting white extremism, and white nationalist brothers Jeremy and Edward Clark.
