Kelly talks to Wake Forrest Professor and PhD, Dr. Gregory Parks about the psychology of haters and why haters hate. While it is often heard that "haters gonna hate," the two discuss the emotional connection to hate, where it typically comes from in people and how it often has nothing to actually do with the object of their hate. This can be applied to social media trolls, inequality of all kinds, politics and even your co-worker or frenemy.
