Wanderlust (WL) : Let’s talk a little bit about this age that we’re living in. She set out to learn what caused people to be so removed, and in her travels working on a book ( The Opposite of Hate: A Field Guide to Repairing Our Humanity is available now) she postulated just what it is that causes us to separate ourselves into self-designated categories of “us” and “them.” Watch on for her learnings, and read below for more. In her years there, she learned an important lesson: Though she had long figured that her colleagues were full of hate-loud as they were with opinions that were far different than her own-she realized over time that it was she who was judging them. Sally Kohn spent 15 years as a community organizer before landing a job at Fox News as the token liberal on-air.
