Seriously, I think hatred is unfortunately a natural human state of mind. It can be a result of our need to classify the world around us and of our need for high self esteem. We classify people into in-groups and out-groups, the groups given names such as black, white, fat, thin, liberal, conservative etc. Because of our need for high self esteem, we over estimate the positive aspects of our in-groups and the negative qualities of out-groups. This gives a sense of superiority which can lead to hatred and resentment from both sides.
There is other research to suggest that factors such as strict upbringing can lead to repressed anger which is displaced onto others. Then of course there’s hatred for the obvious reason of simply thinking somebody is an asshole.
