Hate motivates the worst actions possible in us.
Love motivates the "worst" actions 'possible' in us... from blinding ourselves to the thing we love, to jealousy, to fixation on the one, few, or many.
Hate motivates the "best" actions 'possible' in us... from a strong will to see 'justice' done, to fuel against 'injustice', to giving people a strong sense of personality.
There's justified anger and hate.. again... different things. Hatred doesn't bring about justice. anger - controlled and tempered.. brings about justice.

I sincerely doubt that neo-nazi skinheads are only experiencing acute dislike for black skinned people. It's more than that. It is destructive dislike taken to an obsessive level.Racism is a natural defence system. It's rationally based on defending your interests. Neo-Nazi skinheads magnify the natural instinct to illogical levels. Society condemns the natural instinct.
