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.

Episode 17: Black History Month - Innovation and the Persistence of Hate

CW: Hate speech
I revisit "The Hate Project: Episode 22" which aired on February 25, 2013. Due to my meltdown from "Hate Project Episode 21", I decide to turn off the chat room that allows people to comment during the broadcast, and I only allow phone calls. The resident klansman Dragon1488 and Neo-nazi McBride call in. Unfortunately, this ends up allowing these two to have my platform all to themselves in order to amplify their ideology of hate. African-American sports host NajRadio calls in to offer his great insights in the face of the ignorance. Several prank calls and trolls also add to the chaos which I was trying to avoid. However, I shoehorn in some info on black inventors to fight against Dragon's ignorant assertion that black people have not contributed to our society. Also, some discussion on Jussie Smollet, Ralph Northam and VA Democrat leadership, Liam Neeson
