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.

On this episode...I revisit "The Hate Project" episode 28 which originally aired on April 29, 2013 (exactly 6 years ago today, again!!). Check the timestamps below for the topics discussed:
*00:00 - Intro to the Episode. Discussion of Poway, CA Synagogue shooting, release of aspiring white terrorist Christopher Hasson, IRL shitpost terrorism
*08:25 – Intro to “The Hate Project: Episode 28” - including my alias on this episode as guest host Ted Whelps, leader of the Eastboro Baptist Church which, unlike the Westboro Church, actually uses homoerotic material to teach about Jesus
*18:00 – Discussion of the Boston Marathon Bombing and how it combined Islamic fundamentalist terrorism and crazy white guy terrorism.
*20:26 – klansman and regular caller Dragon1488 calls in.
*25:27 – Dragon complains about Microsoft. I give 2019 commentary about backlash at Microsoft regarding diversity initiatives, and how tech people are generally goons.
*30:17 – Dragon says the klan is getting a lot more members. I make assumptions about members of hate groups being lower-income class white people, and I add current 2019 reflection about how short-sighted and elitist I was.
*36:34 – I challenge Dragon about how he feels the white race is threatened. We also argue about the Tower of Babel story in the Bible.
*45:30 – I discuss how a founding member of Ace of Base was formerly a neo-nazi skinhead, further proof that nazis make shitty music.
*1:02:43 – I try to really understand why Dragon enjoys stereotypes of other races, what it does for him emotionally.
-discussion of "The Color of Crime", a racist propaganda piece based on false evidence.
*1:11:20 – Dragon makes clear that he wants all non-whites erased from the planet. I comment on this today, namely the futility of the mainstream liberal response to this rhetoric.
-I challenge dragon on the fact that he has an Indian doctor, and the anger as an Indian-American in hearing this while remaining anonymous.
*1:30:30 – Brief mention of dead kkk imperial wizard Frank Ancona
*1:34:39 – discussion of shitposting forum Nimbusters, and someone writes threatening things toward me on it during the Hate Project broadcast
*1:38:32 – I ask dragon what makes him happy, he lists some normal stuff but then retreats into white supremacy
*1:44:58 – discussion of "targeted individuals"
*1:50:36 – anti-racist Patrick Hwang calls in. We both challenge dragon on his words throughout this episode.
*2:05:00 - dragon talks about how there won't be race riots in America because the government wants to keep taxpayers, I talk about current race-related violence in America.
-continued debate/discussion amongst Patrick, dragon, me.
--"wewanttheantfarmdead" a person in the chatroom of the Hate Project is attacking me in a homophobic and racist manner.
*2:26:46 - "Wewanttheantfarmdead" calls in, prank.
*2:33:34 - Najradio, African-American radio host, calls in. Conversation between everyone above.
*2:39:50 - discussion of white nationalist social media, Flannery O'Connor, how the education system facilitates hate by not teaching a fuller version of history, and other topics until the end.
*3:01:00 - Outro
