I couldn't find the article you are referring to, but I don't think any child is born hating. As the South Pacific song goes:

You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,

You’ve got to be taught from year to year,

It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear—

You’ve got to be carefully taught!

You’ve got to be taught to be afraid

Of people whose eyes are oddly made,

And people whose skin is a different shade—

You’ve got to be carefully taught.

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,

Before you are six or seven or eight,

To hate all the people your relatives hate—

You’ve got to be carefully taught!

BUT i do think that we can carry ancestral memories in our DNA, and i think that can impact actions/dreams later in life.

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
