 What You Can Do: 

Take an honest look at how you think and feel about others-especially those of another race or nationality.

Avoid social media, movies or entertainment that feature hatred and violence.  

It is not always easy to evaluate  our own thoughts and feeling objectively. But God's Word can help us to "discern thoughts and  intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12) So keep examining the Bible. Compare its teachings with your thinking, and do your beest to bring your thinking in line with what the Bible teaches.  God's Word can help  us overcome hatred that is "strongly entrenced " in our mind and heart. - 2 CORINTHIANS 10:4, 5.
