Why do people hate on others they don't even know?

Well... it is possible to hate someone you've never met. Like Hitler!

Ignorance. First impressions are still at an ignorant level. Judgments of other people stemming from your own insecurities are still at an ignorant level. Hating people you've never even met and know nothing about comes out of ignorance.

I think some people can be incredibly narrow-minded. I have had people hate me because I was a momma's boy and a nerd. I was an only child and a bit of a book-worm, so it was not easy for me to make friends. My dad was in the service too, so we moved around a lot. I still have trouble making friends. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. C'est la vie.

Some people are just bitches it's not they're fualt they're just mean
or may your the mean one

cuz they are haterzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!! lol people hate on me all tha timmme but i dnt worry bout that shxt cuz they going to be tha one hatiing therselves stupid haterrrrrzzzz lol

because people are ignorant, I dont think it always has to do with jealousy...people are just too quick to judge.

Maybe they don't hate you.
They dont give a shit.
Accept it.

i don't know. i also don't know why GIRLS HATE ON EACH OTHER TOO!!!
GIRLS ARE FUCKIN STUPID!!!
and i am a girl-i am not one of the stupid dumbass girls either. i don't hate someone unless that other person does bad really bad to me. ya know? why the fk do girls hate on other girls. like i was eating dinner in San Mateo CA a week ago with 10 friends at some restaurant. i had to go to the bathroom, so i pick up my baby girl and walk to the bathroom, and some stupid dumb girl was giving me a hate look for no reason!!(a girl at another table with her mom-only the girl gave me the hate look)
Like COME ON WTF DID I DO TO YOU STUPID BCH!!!!
i am trying to have a great time with my friends at dinner and some dumb white girl giving me a hate look.

If you appear to be weak, ugly, or stupid, humans naturally pick up on that and "hate on it." It's the gene pool keeping itself policed.

its none of those answers its because just some people cant stand you face or attitude ;]

have you never hated enyone you dont know

Sometimes it's jealousy, for example if you're very cute, rich or smart. Other times it's just your looks or attitude, they might find you for example ugly, irritating, nerdy or cocky. When I hate people, I do my best to hide it, but doesn't always work.

maybe you're friends with someone they like and you're closer to the person they like than they are.
or maybe you just have an annoying face.

sometimes its by first impressions. thats how quite a few people decide if they like you or not.

I don't know man!

The real question here is why do people use the expression "hate on". I suppose I answered your question with my question. People "hate on" other people that they do not know because they can tell said person is ignorant and dumb.

no one really knows i thnk its just jelousy idk

It is simply the very human "rule of thirds". One third of the people will like you for no rational reason (i.e. perhaps you remind them of their favorite aunts on some unconscious level, one third will be completely indifferent towards you and will treat you like someone they just bumped into on the elevator, and one third will hate you for no consciously rational reason - like "you have an annoying face-whatever". So, go out into life and have a good time..however, wear your seat belt, wear clean underware, and don't talk to weird-o's and strangers. If they ask you why, tell them it is bc they have an annoying face.

Probably because they have nothing better to do but to pick on the weak

They're not worth you!

think about it if many ppl hate u then u have something that bothers everyone!!!!
agh juust reading you question makes me hate you haaha jk jk

All breads down to jealousy. They hate the way you walk, talk, breath and speak because they know they aren't you. Keep your head high.

2 big reasons, JEALOUSY & IGNORANCE.
Self-hatetred could also be a major factor.

I dont know, but I tell you what...I don't even know who you are talking about and I am already jealous!

Cause there haters and they cant help it, they really are insecure about themselves and maybe you have something they dont and that probably gets them mad...especially if your pretty too im pretty and I had a lot of people hate on me or it could be your just different from them I heard somwhere people get mad at stuff thats different from them...

because they think they are better than me i would kill you in the most horrific way if i had the chance

I voted "other", because the reason why I normally "hate on others" (though it's only happened maybe 3-4 times) is because their personality/attitude annoys me.

For example, I met a guy recently who drives very recklessly, curses (very) excessively, and judges everyone he sees based on how they look. I don't know much about him, not even his name, but those three things annoyed me so much that I couldn't stand to be around him.

I don't know what the reason is for other people, but in my case it's definitely not any of the reasons you listed. I think we all just have things that bother us about other people, and if someone has enough of those traits, then we automatically dislike them.

be happy they're hating because u have something they wish they had.when they stop u have problems:)

I think it's just because they have nothing better to do with their un-scheduled life, so they waste time stressing stupid opinions, then finding the strength to fight others who put forward THEIR points...

pshh I they don't even deserve your attention, let them selfdestruct lol

thats how rasicim works, and also they r just jealous or dnt like u cuz of ur scent

DUMB POLL

WTF

Who gives a fuck! Its none of my business what everyone thinks of me.

well like how and i think there just jealous of you

depends on the situation

Every single person has a way of thinking about how people should to behave, what's good and bad, and many think that just because you ain't doing what they think it's the right thing, they classify you, they can call u stupid, ignorant or well simple to hate u.
I'm Mexican and I hate every single thing related to Spain, due to the history of my country... there was a Jew guy telling me that I should to get over it already it's already history, I just told him than he should to also forget hittler and what he did. he got mad =P.
