Quid pro woe

Is it OK to hate someone because of their race, religion, or national origin? The answer seems to be yes, as long as you can find some historical basis for being a member of a victim group. At least, this is one of the justifications for anger against whites in the American Black community. Here is the question: Just because you have a justification for a belief or a position, should you take it? If the goal is lifelong happiness, it is hard to see how this approach leads to happiness. This is the Reverend Wright question. Blame, heat, rage, and somehow feel better, feel happy, find peace and contentment, build an enduring monument to your life? I don't think so!
