Are stigmas and and prejudices, inherently based on fear, ignorance and hatred?

RE: Are stigmas and and prejudices, inherently based on fear, ignorance and hatred?
For Paul.

Quote:Hatred is an emotion, again by definition.
Agreed, do you think that some hatreds can be rationally justifiable, or based upon an understanding of the hated thing or person or group?

Let's start with an "easy" one.  Hatred of predatory lending institutions?  Conversely, would a better understanding of predatory lending institutions lead to less or no hatred thereof?  Repeat with the individuals who accomplish the work of predatory lending.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
