Goths tend to think outside the box. They don't *only* focus on the now, but the past, and the future. They tend to look at the darker side of things, but that doesn't they're all "My soul is a dark abyss... my favourite roses are black... Blood is how I feel better..." that's a poser. :P Yes, some Goths say blood is calming, or find it nice to see, but not necessarily see their own whenever they're frustrated. Goths do like Nature, like flowers, vines, moss... they also like rocks. Like old ones from castles. They wear black to stand out, not because they're sad. They wear others colours, too, of course, but primarily black. Long skirts, black and capes, oh, corsets too, are worn because they're Medieval, not so they can mirror Vampires. Ummm... That's all I can think of. Trying checking Wikipedia or some Goth chatrooms for more help? :)
Unlike many other developed countries, hate speech is protected under the First Amendment in the USA. It is legal, and classified as free speech. However, action can be taken if it is inciting or slanderous.
What happens if a white person says the n word?
It depends on why they used it. Some historians say it, and many see it as being fine. However, if any average white person was just throwing it around to insult others, people of many races normally take offense to it.
Sometimes the media (unnecessarily) gets involved to further drive a rift in between races by blowing the issue out of proportion, but many people ignore that and are simply satisfied with letting the person know what they did is not at all acceptable.
Who were Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk What were their roles in ending apartheid in South Africa?

In what year was racism stopped?
Throughout history, 'racism' itself has never been nor could it be banned.
However, in the United States, for example, there have been many laws, court decisions, and Constitutional amendments to bar arbitrary discrimination, which means to give preference to certain groups in decisions for reasons such as ethnicity, culture, language, disability, sexuality, gender, weight (in Michigan and Massachusetts), and age. Legally, racism, as it is commonly understood as by 'colour', was outlawed in the United States by the 14th Amendment in 1868, which created the Equal Protection clause, providing 'all' Americans the same rights and freedoms whether white, black, yellow, brown, male or female.
This has been tested several times, one which is known as 'affirmative action'.
Affirmative Action which was started on March 6 ,1961 by executive order 10925, but wasn't enforced until Sept 24, 1965 by executive order 11246. The Order was to take federal money and use it to advertise open positions in low income and minority areas to allow equal chance to the job position.
What it is not is a law to hire a person due to there colour or ethnicity, which it was twisted into in the 1980's and '90's. This in its self was racism. So as you can see racism cannot be ended, what it can be is dealt with and watched for closely as to not let it rise up again.
Which is an example of de jure segregation?
De Jure Segregation is racial separation which is forced by specific laws. De facto segregation is generally caused by socioeconomic conditions, not by statute.
How does racism in 1950 compare to racism today is there really any differences?
yes there is. in 1950 it was bad they had it bad. but today in the 2000s racism doesn't have it bad anymore because whites and blacks work together,schools are not segregated,whites and blacks can use the same bathroom,whites and blacks can do almost about the same its not bad as it use to be.
"de facto" literally means "about or concerning fact", but in our usage, we take it as "in practice, but not required by law".
The concept of "de facto" segregation means that even though there is no law requiring separation or segregation (of race or creed or whatever), the people choose to segregate themselves.
Did the Irish face racism segregation or prejudice when they emigrated to the US?
There were problems in both World Wars, but in general it's my impression that the Germans and Americans of German origin have been and are respected in America.
Obviously, the US is a very long way from Germany; not that many Americans read or speak German, and many of the ideas prevalent in America about Germany may be out of date.
Answer:After World War II, immigrant Germans and also some German speaking Amish did face some racism, due to their easily identified German accents. Most of the prejudice has died down, but there are still some people in America who identify Germans as Nazis.
Racism is still there, there has been many times where you will hear the words "Nazi!" through the halls and it will be directed at a German. People have drawn swastikas (spl?) on other peoples backpacks. Having blonde hair and light colored eyes is something that shouldn't be delclared as "looking like a Nazi."
Why have whites been so oppressive of non-whites especially black-skinned humans?
First of all, this question makes the assumption or at least implies that all whites have oppressed non-whites, esp. blacks. Fair enough, except that not all Caucasian nations have done so. Assuming you are referring to the American Civil Rights Movement and the historic enslavement of African-Americans, there are a number of reasons. A sizable number of the early settlers of America were either transplanted English nobility, or gentlemen of fortune that owned thousands of acres in estates. African labor was available cheap, and in large numbers. African laborers could be made to do work not done by indentured servants or the like. So, one reason was pragmatic: the need for mass, cheap labor. Another reason lay in the general, though not universal belief that whites were created superior to the black man. It's not hard to see why: Europeans (and later Americans) were the most technologically and socially advanced people in the world, and proud of it. Africans were "simple" and "savage" by comparison. Even some like Thomas Jefferson, who did not have anything against blacks personally, believed in the superiority of whites as the created order. Reason #3 is history. By the time of the Civil War, slavery had existed in America for over a century. The southern economy, in fact, depended on agriculture, and by default, slavery. People were used to blacks being "inferior" and old habits die hard. As a sidenote, some considered belived that blacks by nature shiftless and lazy, and would never work, and thus be productive citizens, outside of slavery. However many whites genuinely believed that exposure to Western "civilized" culture did nothing but good for Africans. For the record, I am not white. I happen to be Chinese-American. Hope this helps some.
When did racism end in America?
From a legal standpoint, racism (and discrimination base on it) theoretically ended with the enactments of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution immediately after the Civil War.
However, there were significant "end-runs" around the strictures laid out in these amendments, such that practical legal discrimination by race continued up until the 1960s, when, at the conclusion of the Civil Rights Movement, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (coupled with several major Supreme Court decisions, the biggest of which was Brown v Board of Education) outlawed any form of legal racism or discrimination in the United States.
So, legal racism no longer exists in the United States. While some may argue about the "reverse racism" of Affirmative Action policies, legally speaking, the U.S. is now no longer racist.
However, racism happens not just in public or legal frameworks. It also happens in the actions of individuals, in the myriad of ways they interact with eachother. Unfortunately, in this respect, there are still a significant number of people who hold racist views. And, it is unlikely that we will be able to eliminate racial bias anytime soon (which, is a mild form of racism), as racial bias seems ingrained at an almost instinctual level in human beings.
It has not ended in America nor has it ended in the rest of the known world.
Nelson Mandela Apartheid had begun to end from the year 1990 under the rule of President FW de Klerk. However Apartheid was officially over in 1994 and the first democratically elected president of the country in 1994 was President Nelson Mandela.

People discriminate out of ignorance and Selfishness and that they don't think about how it would make other people feel also to make them feels better
AnswerJob interviewers have to select who they believe is the best candidate for a given job by separating people into different consideration categories. The way of doing this separation can be considered "discrimination" of desirable versus undesirable personal characteristics.When you look at what a human resources person does for such a job interview--it is considered a science / branch of psychology / psychoanalysis / people skills (not ignorance). Many such professionals are trained in this particular field of endeavor. Entire companies involved in management consulting or job placement agencies perform these duties to screen applicants prior to them being sent to the client for their further consideration so that the time of the client is not wasted weeding out "the undesirables."
Unqualified, or inexperienced, or over qualified, or over experienced, or experience in a field of expertise that is not close enough to that required for the job, or bad fit due to personality conflicts or conflicting beliefs or politics or personal styles of conduct, or poor judgment, criminal record for a high security position, dresses inappropriately for a very high paying client liaison position, lives too far away and does not have a vehicle to insure that they arrive at work on time, unwilling to do some particular element of the job, poor sense of humor, behavior inappropriate for the situation, unprofessional attitude, too sensitive, too abusive, too uncaring, or any number of choosy details that might eliminate someone from consideration from being hired by the organization with the job opening.
Some people act as though friends and acquaintances are job applicants and may go through a long list of selection criteria before getting on a short list of those who would be "best friends."
Rich and wealthy people have few needs. Their requirements of potential friends is therefore apt to be highly restrictive to those whose peer interests and contacts are useful to the others in this exclusive group. Few people deal in corporate take-overs, liquidations, buying rare art works, selecting and wearing high fashion designer apparel, are close acquaintances with Dr. Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, the Queen of England, and Lord Evelyn Rothschild, or other wealthy person's pursuits or interests.

Have the Aboriginal people suffered racism?
Im pretty sure when you aboriginal and have been a victim of racism it emotionaly harms you. And if you are the person saying these racial slures then you must have some emotional problems urself. It cant be very fun hurting someone like that. And what would make you do that in the first place. Lets just say your a whire person and you walk up to someone and call them a racist name like 'Chef' or 'Prairie N.' how would you like it if they called you cracker or trailer trash. Not very much i bet. and even then there isn't that many racist names you can call a white person other then that. So really it Effects the victim and the person saying the racial slure.
