What does the quote the root of all hate and prejudices is ignorance mean?

It asserts that the ONLY reason for hate is not knowing enough about the target of your hate. That idea is clearly false. You can know a great deal about an evil person or institution and hate them or it for GOOD reasons. Knowing more would not reduce your hate. I am prejudiced against people who lie, and people who cheat or steal. That prejudice is not based on ignorance about THEM, or their motivations, nor ignorance about their sad childhoods. My prejudice against such folks is based on their CONDUCT.
