Is there more racism now than fifty years ago?
No. It simply gets more 'press' because it is less acceptable and so is more often a topic of discussion.

The headquarters of the ANC were based in England as the party had been banned in South Africa. Many marches and protests, demanding the release of Nelson Mandela, were also held in England.

Why can comedians get away with racism when everyone else cannot?
Comedians are one of the least liable kinds of people on this planet. They can get away with most comments actually. The main reason for this is because they aren't intended to be taken seriously, so they aren't. The only time that they're ever taken seriously is when they make a statement that is a blatant insult. I can't bring myself to type an example, but I think that you can guess what kind of comments comedians couldn't get away with. Well, usually, said comedians are taking advantage of what is called a double standard. They can be racist, but only to their own race. They also sometimes get away with slight racism towards other races, though this is rare.

What were the racism attitudes to non white in England 1500s?
"Racist" attitudes didn't exist in the 15th or 16th centuries. "Racism" as a concept did not exist until the 18th century at the earliest. It rose out of attempts to identify different ethnicities, and devolved into ways to place members of other ethnic groups at a lower, less developed cultural level.
Answer: I would say that all people can set a good example by treating all other people as fellow human beings, rather than discriminating by skin color and/or ethnicity, but it is all up to the individual on whether they want to hold onto being racist or not.

Answer: People have the right to be racist, denying it is nothing short of fascism.
As such, we must do absolutely nothing to stop it. At most, we should ask ourselves what we can do to support racist movements.
Answer: We can teach our children better than ourselves that skin color should play no part in judging another human being, and in deciding whether they are "good enough" to hang around, marry, take on a job, etc. After all, the children are always the future, and whatever ideals, values, morals, and so on they learn will carry on to the future. So if they learn how bad racism is and why they shouldn't hold views as such, it can and will stop.
The Hamitic Hypothesis derives principally from Genesis 9:18-27. These verses recount the story of Ham, the son of Noah, who, upon discovering his father naked and in a drunken stupor, "exposed" him to his brothers, Shem and Japheth. [Some commentators conjecture that the sin committed by Ham involved much more than "exposure;" specifically, bestiality and sodomy.] Canaan, Ham's son, was also apparently involved. When Noah awoke, he "knew" what Ham had done and pronounced a curse in retribution; interestingly, only Canaan is directly mentioned: "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants he shall be to his brothers." (Gen. 9:25)
Sadly, Europeans and others interpreted the "curse of Ham" to mean that black people were cursed, even though no racial component exists in the Genesis story. But for generations, white colonizers used this myth to justify enslaving black people, since supposedly the Bible established that the "negro race" was to be punished for what Noah's son did. Of course, it is never explained how Noah, who by all accounts was Semitic, rather than black, had one black son, nor is it explained how the subjugation of the black race can be traced to Noah, who never mentioned his son's ethnicity.

Why are black American people always considered as mean and bad people?
Because many think that people's minds are different based on their skin color. Some have strong attitudes (TV makes them look like everyone is like that. it's a lie!). Its like that because of false assumption! People look at a black woman or man, and think, "I should not talk to them because they look like they have an attitude." Whites are people. Blacks are people. Asians are people. And other races are also people. Don't assume that people are bad or mean because of their skin color.
What year was racism at it worst?
well obviously it was pretty bad throughout history and there is no way to really tell a specific year considering noone is old enough to have lived through All periods of intense racism.It should also be pointed out that there has been racism in different areas of the world. There is no way to tell which country, ethnic group, or religous group has been shown racism in a worse way than the others. I think some common and reasonable answers for time periods-not a specific year- that were the the worst for racism would be:in between the revolutionary and civil war, the holocaust, jews throughout history, japanese internment after pearl harbor attack, and many countless other situations with high body counts due to human ignorance. :)
