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 7: The Klansman and the Black Sports Radio Host

Revisiting "The Hate Project - Episode 12" - The regular klansman calls back in, a new caller - an African-American man named Najradio - debates the klansman on many of his statements. The conversation takes on a wide range of topics including how the klansman used to like 80s rap groups and currently (in 2012) enjoys Tyler Perry movies, diversity in crops, black invention, class struggle and the failures of both political parties, and more. I offer commentary before and after the episode, explaining my perspective on this episode and project from today's standpoint.
