Discrimination

{Led by Phyllis Schlafly, enough concerns about the amendment were presented that the Equal Rights Amendment was unable to garner sufficient states for ratification, falling three short of the necessary 38.}

Separate But Equal was a United States law that was in direct violation of the Fourteenth Amendment which states which promised equal rights to all citizens. Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, overturned Separate But Equal, and opened the door to further civil rights challenges.

It was not only individual and personal, it was state sponsored.

It depends on which side you are asking about, and there is a distinction. In the Axis countries it was state-sponsored but not always individual. The Allied countries used Asians and Africans for propaganda purposes in an effort to develop a united popular front, but many instances of individual and official racism can be found, and many instances of non-racism on the Axis side. I have cited a few of them below.

* In anyone's air force, only an officer can fly a fighter. Ergo, the all-black US 99th Fighter Squadron (the Tuskegee Airmen) had to be officers. Yet, a captured German pilot was surprised that he was allowed into the white restroom while a pilot of the 99th was not.

* The US 361st Tank Battalion (the Black Panthers) was a black unit commanded by white officers, and part of General Patton's US 3rd Army. For whatever faults he had (and there were many), Patton was not a racist, as were other whites who fought with the 361st. Still, the 361st suffered repeated instances of racism because they were a black unit.

* The 442nd Regimental Combat Team (the Nesei Regiment) was made up of Japanese-Americans and commanded by white officers. While lying in a hospital bed after being wounded in action, one of these Nesei soldiers formed a lifelong friendship with a wounded white solder from the 10th Mountain Division. Later they would become Senatator Daniel Inouye (d) and Senator Robert Dole (r).

* Joe Louis and Max Schmeling were used for propaganda purposes. In their first boxing match, Schmeling defeated Loius. In the rematch, Loius defeated Schmeling. As a punishment for losing the rematch, Schmelling was drafted into the German paratroopers and dropped on Crete in 1941 where the Nazis still hoped to milk him for whatever propaganda value he had left. From his hospital bed after being wounded in action, Schmeling refused to testify that he had seen wounded German soldiers bayoneted on the ground by the New Zealanders. [Some of the New Zealanders were Maoris with no respect for European fairplay, and this incident most certainly happened, but Schmeling did not claim to witness it.] On the Allied side, Joe Louis wore a US Army uniform during the war, but he was also used for propaganda and had no more civil rights than any other black US soldier. Although they were political pawns used against each other, Loius and Schmelling superceded it and remained friends after the war.

* General Erwin Rommel was ordered by Berlin to execute Jewish Battalion members of the captured Free French Brigade. He violated these orders by transferring them to the Italian Army where their lives would be spared. Later when he captured Tobruk, white South African officers demanded separate accommodations from their black NCOs and enlisted. Rommel turned down their request and put them all in the same pen. Rommel was a cold and calculating German general, but he was not a Nazi, nor was he a racist.

* Of all the Allied military organizations, the US Navy was probably the most racist, using African volunteers only as cooks and ammunition handlers, and they were forbidden to serve in a fighting capacity. One of these cooks found a chance to break this rule on the first day of the war, shooting down two Japanese planes at Pearl Harbor, but he was the exception.

* When offered command of various units, General Stilwell always responded that he would take anyone who would fight. As he commanded Nationalist Chinese who often deserted, he might have used anti-Asian slurs, but the word "anyone" implies that he did not care what color his troops were, as long as they would fight.

* Whereas General Patton distinguished German from Nazi, Admiral Halsey made numerous racial slurs against his Japanese enemy. It is not known whether Halsey actually hated the Japanese or merely used racism for propaganda purposes.

* The Japanes hoped to incite British, French, and Dutch colonials to join them in the fight against their imperial masters, but Japanese racism showed in its propaganda which was more insulting to the native colonials than to the imperial masters.

* When World War 2 began, the German SS accepted only those of pure German blood, but they relaxecd their racist standards to replenish casualties later in the war, accepting non-German soldiers from other Axis countries and even occupied countries.

Overall, most do, but it depends on the exact local chapter. There is no single organized KKK since any group can call themselves a Klan chapter. There is plenty of infighting between KKK chapters, with members of some chapters accusing members of other chapters of being gay or Jewish.

Some chapters hate gays and lesbians and some even have gay members. The same applies to neo-Nazi groups. Some of the skinheads are actually pro-gay. Some chapters of the KKK have even been known to side with local chapters of civil rights groups like the NAACP on issues such as unlawful immigration. So even hate groups vary in scope and the number of people they hate.

The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded in 1942 as the Committee of Racial Equality

No, dislike and hatred of the Jews goes back a very long time indeed. Some claim that the Jews have been hated since Antiquity. That claim, however, overlooks long periods of relative calm and suggests a continuity that may be misleading. However, the start of the First Crusade in 1096 was characterized by an explosion of anti-Jewish violence in the Rhineland and some other parts of Europe. Initially, this was condemned by senior members of the Catholic Church, but to no effect. When the crusaders reached the Holy Land, they slaughtered Jews there. Soon almost no crusade was complete without a massacre of Jews. 1144 saw the first recorded case of the anti-Jewish blood libel - that is, the accusation of Jews of murder for ritual religious purposes. From about 1180 onwards it became quite common for Jews to be accused whenever there was a particularly repulsive murder ... Pope Innocent IV asked a commission of lawyers to investigate some of these case in the 1240s and they roundly condemned the legal processes used - but to little effect. At the time of the Black Death, which was not understood at the time, the Jews were accused of poisoning wells and were slaughtered in some places. The Church encourage ambivalence ... On the one hand, Popes and some bishops condemned forced conversions, murder and the blood libel, but passed edicts requiring Jews to wear a distinctive badge on their outer clothing and, later also encouraged ghettoization by law. The Jews were demonized in European culture - both popular culture and high culture. In Eliazbethan times there were almost no Jews in England. (They had been thrown out in 1290 and were not admitted again till 1657). Nevertheless, Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and even more, Marlowe's Jew of Malta appeal to popular stereotypes and anti-Jewish prejudice. In other words, the prejudices were effective among people who had never even seen a Jew and knew very little about them. Luther ranted and raved against the Jews, and in Rome the pope established one of the harshest ghettos ... The churches did little to counteract prejudice against the Jews, and especially in Roman Catholic regions, anti-Jewish prejudice was bolstered by the "odour of sanctity". In some parts of Europe, such as Romania and Germany, some nineteenth century nationalists believed that Jews "could not be Romanians" (or Germans, or Latvians, etc). In the later the nineteenth century, following emancipation, the Jews came to be regarded as liberals, and after the Russian Revolution of 1917 as Communist. Racist ideology (antisemitism) was added to earlier anti-Jewish prejudice. This period also saw the rise of fanciful antisemitic conspircacy theories. Demonization of Jews was complete before Hitler entered politics. In fact, without this prior demonization his antisemitism would have lacked appeal. It is noteworthy that the Japanese, with a very different cultural history, found the Nazis' hatred of the Jews utterly bewildering.

First, we should define "Christian Persecution". What is happening in the United States, Canada, and Europe, where Christians do not get their way politically in every case, e.g. abortion is legal, divorce is legal, more people are leaving Christianity, etc. is NOT persecution. Persecution is when the lives or livelihoods of people are severely threatened or such people face legal hardships because they are Christians. There is persecution of Christians in North Korea, persecution specifically of Catholics in China, and persecution of Christians in general throughout the Islamic World, but especially in Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

P.S. It is not happening "worldwide".

Beginning in 1948, the ruling white Afrikaners established separate states and social rules for the black majority in order to maintain control of the country in the face of the many new independent African states. This segregation prevented the black populace from gaining political or economic power within the country.

The time period between 1920 and 1929 was considered to the Roaring Twenties. A term that best describes this time period is one of rebellion.

There have been almost no changes in US policy toward US Arabs (mostly Christians descended from Lebanese immigrants) nor Muslim residents.

US law forbids religious discrimination by Muslims or nonMuslims in the USA.

It allowed easy access for people to fuuck biitches and get money.

When something is overt, it is made obvious. Overt discrimination would be openly discriminating against a person or group of people something like saying, "If you are of a certain ethnic background, you can't vote in this election." Another example would be a time in our history when restaurants openly refused to serve people who were African-American."

In contrast, covert discrimination would not involve acts of forbidding certain people to vote, but rather involve something like using voting machines that malfunction a lot in neighborhoods where certain people are more likely to live and vote. This makes it so that a particular group's vote is less likely to be counted.

Hindus do not have a single view on racism.

Having said that, the caste system is part of Hinduism and is deeply ingrained in their culture to this day.

Some Hindus have abandoned it but many have not.

The caste system can easily be compared to racism.

Racism is never going to stop, but we can reduce it by influencing others to stop. You don't have to accept any form of racist hassle. Everyone, no matter what their nationality or race, has a right to live happily and free from discrimination.

If the problem is in your school, you should approach a member of staff that deals with this type of incident or if you are not sure who to go to - talk to a member of staff who you can trust and tell him/her about what has been going on. You should also tell family and friends about this so that you can also get their help and support. Other parts of your life will suffer if you keep silent. Speak up now before the problem takes over.

Be prepared to speak out and tell people just how it's affecting your life and your well-being. If you are going to alert someone to the fact that you're being threatened, abused or bullied, then do it properly.

Well slavery is the closest. Some people still think whites want them to be slaves but some whites are mad at the black people because they think they're mad about it. The most accurate reason though is they think they act different. It's not really any certain race that acts different though. Some people who meet another race who acts different automatically assume that they all act like that so they go with that and treat them different. They usually cover that up with an excuse of "They just don't go together".

Racism effects sport as people in the same team or on the opposing team don't play to the best of their ability. They feel discriminated and left out. It may also influence children and teenagers to use racist comments because they are trying to blend in with there mates which will think he is cool being racist.

Answer 1
Many people consider the "outsiders" inferior. Jews also have a history of fighting against discrimination as they have been terribly victimized throughout their history.

Answer 2
This is a misperception that comes out of the Jewish idea of "chosen-ness". Many non-Jews see it as Jews believing that they are superior to non-Jews as opposed to how Jews understand it. The Jewish understanding is that the Jewish people were charged with a distinct mission/task that the rest of the world was not assigned and this is to elevate the spiritual character of the world. This charge is very similar to that which monks and nuns take on in Catholicism and nobody chastises them for this act because we understand the hardship that comes out of that level of dedication. Jews are compelled to be so dedicated.

(Another more pop-culturally modern version of this is the idea of the "Fellowship of the Ring" in the "Lord of the Rings". The members of the Fellowship are in no way superior or better than the rest of the inhabitants of Middle Earth, they just have a specific task to which they have been assigned and upon which the entire world depends. People outside the Fellowship are more than capable of helping this mission which some (like King Theoden of Rohan and Faramir of Gondor) certainly do. It is just that the onus of responsibility lies on the Fellowship.)
