No, you shouldn't have to put up with this. You loved her and had kids with her, and you shouldn't have to put up with abuse. This is a lot of what Mexican-American men have to put up with, so maybe it will help you see their plight. Not everyone will be sympathetic to you. They may accuse you of betraying your people or say you knew this would happen before you chose to start a family. But regardless of that, try to stay strong, and try to share your burden with others.

Any discrimination against any group (LBGT, atheists, redhesds, racial communiites, other religions, etc.) based on the group you have assigned them to is essentially the same. It is based on a stereitype of the group, not the individuals in the group. It is not the result of any in depth understanding of the group.

Prior to the Civil War, the southern economy was based primarily on agriculture. Slaves were the majority of the southern work force, so southerners in general supported slavery. They saw it as part of their way of life. The northern economy, however, was based on industry. They had no need for slaves because most industry by that time called for specialized workers, not slaves.
Another point relating to economics: The primary southern crop, cotton, required year-round tending; the northern crops were finished in the fall, so the fields - and thus the slaves - lay fallow for several months. Slave owners did not like maintaining slaves while no work was being done, so they gradually moved to a system of hired hands who could be let go if there was no work to be done, and did not have to be supported.

Actually, the more cogent point is that the conservatives (north and south) favored slavery, while liberals (north and south) were the abolitionists of the time. Thus Abraham Lincoln, though a Repubilcan, was by the standards of his time a social liberal.
One is inclined to doubt that Lincoln, while credited with founding the Republican Party, would even be welcome in that party today. Political liberalism is defined this way:
�A political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of man, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for tolerance and freedom for the individual from arbitrary authority in all spheres of life, especially by the protection of political and civil liberties and for government under law with the consent of the governed.� Webster�s Third New International Dictionary. IT was hard work to in american.69
EDIT: It is also worth noting that in 1860 The Republican party was the more liberal party and the Democratic party was the more conservative.

What does without equality there can be no democracy mean?
It basically means that in a state if all people are not accepted for who they are regardless of age, gender, race, class or any other form of prejudice and are treated equally in a similar way to all others, then there cannot be freedom in the country. In order to have a just and free government or power authority, everyone must be accepted as being equal.
Are humans naturally inclined to be slighty racist?

Why did Jeanine Pirro say that Black Lives Matter is based on a lie?
It looks like she said this because the original cases that sparked the movement didn't result in any convictions showing that Police were at fault. And in a sense, she has a point... if the movement was just based on those cases, then there would be a hole in the logic. However, whether or not those cases did in fact involve injustice, I think that the movement is based on the perception of injustice, and continued discrimination. And in fact, Black lives do matter... as do all others. I think that it just depends on how you look at the movement... is it anti-cop, or just pro-justice? If it is pro-justice and pro-equality, I think it is something we can all get behind. Unfortunately, many people are interpreting it in a negative way. We all have to look at ourselves and see how we can do better in making the world a better place, not taking sides and laying blame.
To many, no form of racism is okay or condoned, so the question of why is not so much valid in the eyes of those who aren't racist and are for equality on all levels.

Do some Nazis today consider themselves to be white supremacists?
The two seem to be inexorably linked. Whenever I watch TV shows or read books/articles/websites about Neo-Nazis or white supremacists, they all seem to share the same belief system: that anyone who isn't white and Protestant (or at LEAST Catholic) is dirty and evil.
Like, whenever I watch shows about white supremacist groups, they always make a lot of anti-Semitic remarks as well. And whenever I watch shows about Neo-Nazis, they always make a lot of racist remarks as well. White supremacists and Neo-Nazis don't just get along; they're basically all the same people.

What is a defiition for racism?
Racism is the belief that one race of people is inherently better than another race. For example, if you believed white people were always better than black people, you would be racist. Likewise, believing that black people are better than white people is equally racist. By pure coincidence I'm sure, the race people believe is superior always just happens to be the race to which they belong.
When was racism popular and accepted?
Racism has been acceptable for some members of society, even entire societies throughout history and is still so today.
