I think hate is a strong word! While there are some that do "hate" blacks, or Mexicans, or Jews, or anything that doesn't look, act or think like they do, I think it's really hate against what they represent, "diffences!" Yet there are probaly older people that have prejudice against blacks because they lived in a time that racism, hatred,and prejudice dominanted. They are afraid or fear blacks because of what their grandparents and forefathers did to blacks! Racism was a dominant factor in their upbringing, and they are just repeating what they grew up with.
