Why do you hate me?
I don't hate any of you. Is it because I'm white? Because I'm American? Is it because I run a dog-fighting ring? Tell me!!!
So what, just like 11.3% hate or something? I can live with that!
I think the first step to understanding anti-USA hatred is to step outside of USA media, and see the USA's actions abroad and their effects.In the poll I read recently Americans were asked to pick the main reason "why those who attacked us and their supporters hate the United States?", the 26% of Americans who answered in the top category surely do not have a grip on reality!
They hate us because of:
1.our democracy and freedom" (26%)
2."our support for Israel" (22%)
3."our values and way of life" (20%), and
4."our influence on the economy and lives of Middle Eastern countries" (17%).
5.our economic and military power (11%).
The media critic Nick Davies blames much of this ignorance on the media, whose selective reporting leads to an imbalanced view of the world:
“American media consumers may stand back aghast in January 2006 when Bolivia elects a new president, Evo Morales, who immediately declares his antipathy to their nation. They don't know what he's talking about: the news factory has left them in ignorance. It simply has not told them, for example, the story of the Bolivian trade union leader, Casimiro Huanca, who was shot dead in December 2001 by troops which had been trained and supported by the American government to crack down on cocaine production. This incident generated considerable hostility towards the US Embassy there, and no coverage at all in the international mass media. Too far away, too expensive, too boring, too un-American.
It was exactly this same blind focus in the news factory which left the American people after the attacks of September 2001 asking in genuine ignorance: 'Why do they hate us?' In the same way, it has left them for decades in overwhelming ignorance of the behaviour of US security and intelligence agencies which has created such hostility to their country“.
As a Muslim,I do not hate you or any American.The Muslims hate only the foreign American policy because of its Impartiality.
Hello dear

Why do so many Americans hate America? And if they hate it so much why don't they just leave?One thing that really bothers me is the way some Americans seem to hate everything about America. I'd just like to ask them: "If you hate everything about the country you live in then why are you...

Why is Trump so hated by the Left in America? Political opposition is normal between Democrats & Republicans- that is par for the course. However, political opposition has escalated to a pure visceral level since Trump has been president. When Trump became...

Is it just a coincidence that the majority of the poorest countries in the world are the most religious ones? Or is it because their faith holds them back from economic progress?

What is your opinion on America's prejudiced outlook on the Muslim community?In the recent years I have been seeing more and more news about American hate-crimes against the Muslim community, mostly owing to the unrest in Middle Eastern Countries and 9/11. What are your views on this topic?

At this moment if you are watching CNN, they are showing over 10,000 people marching and protesting about Trump. If you watch Fox New, they are talking about all the great accomplishments Trump has done while being in the UK. And in the lower right corner of the screen, barely visible...
