Does the KKK hate gays and lesbians?

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.

What started the hatred against Jews?

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.

What are some examples of persecution today?

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".

What was the cause of the aparthied movement in South Africa?

What is overt and covert discrimination?

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.

What is an Hindus view on racism?

How can you help stop 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.

What made racism?

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".

What do white men say about dating black women?

What is an example of racism?

Examples of racism:

When I was walking through a neighborhood in Boston to go to school, people were yelling to get out of their neighborhood, that I didn't belong there. They were black and I am white. That is racism.

Saying aloud that an employer should have a racially balanced workforce.

More about racism:

1. Racism is expressing the belief that race should be a factor in decisions outside the home and family. Decisions about hiring ARE non-personal decisions.

2. Race is unrelated to work performance, so employers are prohibited by federal and state law from ever giving race any weight in hiring. Doing so would be not only racist, but illegal (most racist conduct and expression is NOT illegal).

3. Conduct which meets the definition in item 1 IS racism, no matter who does it and no matter the popularity of the conduct.

Racism comes in many forms: it can be both covert and overt.

If someone calls another a racial slur, that would be considered verbalized overt racism.

If someone does all they can to block out people of a certain race from certain groups, organizations, schools, and so on, but all with excuses on why they aren't accepted, that can be considered covert racism.

There really is no "one suits all" answer, but for the most part racism is defined by any contempt towards someone because of their race.

How does racism affect participation in sport?

Does religion influence racism?

help me im doing an essay here's the question.

SOCEITY WOULD BE GREATLY HELPED IF EVERYONE WERE THE SAME RELIGION.

how would it stop racism ??????

I disagree. Religious affiliation doesn't matter that much I don't know how everyone would be greatly helped if all were the same. Religion doesn't set societal goals only reinforces good behavior. Since Brotherhood is a fundamental aspect of almost all religions except for extremists, no need for anyone to change over to a different one although you might be able to argue society would be helped if more people were religious, but then again religion is not required to care about your fellow man.

Additionally much of what appears to be racism is actually misconstrued by other's perceptions and not actually negative views towards a race. Some object to other cultures that don't necessarily include all members of a race. For example the black ghetto culture in america. Many don't like young blacks that like to dress and act like they are in a gang and speak in Ebonics because politically correct politicians think they should be taught that way as if they weren't intelligent enough to speak common English, but this group is only a small minority of blacks and most that do object to this are smart enough to differentiate.

Note this site is for simple q&a we really can't write a whole essay for you only help steer you in the right direction.

Why do some Jews consider non-Jews inferior?

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.)

What are 1950's jobs?

The men had jobs just like they do today (but the technology wasn't as great of course back then.) They worked in companies as executives; were perhaps a mechanic, plumber; drove bus/cab; worked in warehouses, road construction, etc. Women in the 1950's didn't have many choices (a real man's world back then) so you had the choice of being a teacher, nurse, stewardess or a stenographer (secretary.)

What were the achievements of the women's movement in the post World War 2 period?
