Discrimination

Education programs receiving government money cannot treat men and women differently.

The Ku Klux Klan hung or slaughtered black people due to their skin color. The white supremacists believed that black people were inferior and barbaric, and that they didn't know how to properly live.

The blacks who had been slaves prior to the Civil War represented an economic threat beyond their loss as cheap labor. In times of hardship and limited resources, the advancement of blacks (promoted by Congress and the North) meant less for the white population. As with many other cases throughout history, the blacks and whites were two competing economic groups. One was historically impoverished, and the other one made so by the War. The fact that most ex-slaves were easily distinguished from whites made racism simple to practice, as was the segregation that followed in its place.

Racism is a form of discrimination, based on race. Like other forms of discrimination, the core idea is that there are generalized differences between two groups, and that those differences make one group inherently superior.

More specifically, racism is the belief that human races exist and these races possess different abilities and characteristics and that some races are superior to others, making us inherently different and unequal. Often, racists do not want to live in multi-racial societies, rather they encourage separation and segregation and want to live amongst their "own kind." Others, more in keeping with other forms of discrimination, believe that it is perfectly fine to live among members of the "other" group, as long as there is a clear understanding of who is better and who has the power. Subservience and control is usually the goal in this case, as with most gender discrimination.

Racism does not inherently include violence as part of the definition, but when one group believes they are superior to another group, then biased behaviors based on those beliefs can spawn disrespect and humiliation. In extreme cases, racist beliefs (or any discriminatory beliefs) can promote violence, defamation, murder, rape, torture, and/or genocide.

Yes. Marriage is a right. It is a right applicable to humans. Same-sex couples are humans. Same-sex couples have human rights. Some governments do not permit same-sex couples to marry. Those governments are violating the human rights of same-sex couples.

Places that either didn't allow Jews or places that Jews had to be in separate places.

I think it's more up to the individual rather than the system, rehabilitation can work and does work. I think as taxpayers we would rather spend our money on trying to rehabilitate and educate rather than spending money our hard earned money on them to allow them to just sit on there butt. I think if anything we should want to take the risk and try to rehabilitate in prison systems so that when they have the opportunity to leave the prison system they can now contribute to society in a better way. We can't just give up.

Well, every group can experience racism, doesn't matter what you are.

I hope this helped

hi no it did not help at all

It's not racist, you couldn't get taken to court for it as it would just be seen as stating the obvious or bullying in some cases. Its just like calling a ginger person ginger or a tanned person orange. Some coloured people don't like the term 'black' the prefer African american or Jamaican etc.. Its only racist if you say you don't think that them being black is okay.

No. Jews and the Jewish religion are neither evil nor discriminatory. Please see below.

As to any religion's "evilness", this is difficult to measure, since "evil" is a value-judgment more than an empirical term. However, if the virtues of Judaism are discussed, such as respect for the widow and the orphan, the view that the best man is one who cares for his wife, the desire to rebuild the world into a more respectful and decent place, and the desire to treat every person with dignity and care, these views generally align more with "good" than "evil". Some Christian and Muslim groups allege that Jews are evil. The Christians who say this do because the Jews rejected Christ as their Savior which assumes necessarily that Jesus was the Jews' Savior without understanding Jewish objections. The Muslims who say this base their hatred of Jews on verses of the Qur'an that claim that some Jews had been turned into monkeys and pigs because God despised them and the Hadiths concerning the Jewish Tribes of Arabia. However, a religion's good or evil character should not be determined by historical perceptions of a religion by other religions but on the merits of that philosophy and ritual as expressed by those people themselves.

Judaism is also not discriminatory. Judaism actually asserts a far greater degree of equality between Jews and non-Jews and between men and women than most other religions. As concerns Jewish-Gentile relations, Jews have always believed that Gentiles have a unique role in the physical world, the spiritual world, and the World-to-Come (the Jewish euphemism for the afterlife). Contrary to Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not have the idea of damnation at all (forget eternal damnation) and the sinners have the ability in the afterlife to purify their souls. The term Chosen-People is usually seen as the basis for the view that Jews are discriminatory, but this term is often misinterpreted. It is not a sentiment of ubermensch or something similar but an appointment or calling -- similar to the appointment of the Fellowship of the Ring in Lord of the Rings. The members of the Fellowship are assigned a specific task, but this does not make them "better people" than anyone else. This is reflected in the view that Gentiles should have equality in terms of civil and political law in almost all Jewish circles. In terms of men and women, women in Judaism are encouraged to get educations and join the workforce. Much is made of Asenath Barzani, a Kurdish Jewess in 1600 who became a respected Rabbi in her community. In the Cochin Jewish community of India, there are numerous traditionally female-sung balads/prayers.

Disclaimer: I take no stand in Politics and take no real side, but Bush is incorrectly bashed.

Everyone in America seemed to hate Bush because of a number of things including the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, and the War on Terror. They also make fun of his speech, accent, and his logic.

Most of the people who despise Bush are Democrats, as Bush is a Republican. These Bush-Haters (they will be referred to as the Antis) claim that he responded in the wrong way to 9/11. Personally, I believe he responded in a as best of a way as anyone else could have responded when faced with the worst terrorist attack in US history.

The Antis also claimed Bush was a bad President for his response to Katrina. They claimed the response was so delayed because half the National Guard was in Iraq, when they should not have been. I would like to ask them this: "Would you rather Bush have done nothing about the terrorist issues, and worried more about domestic problems? The what do you think the terrorists would have done?"

Another "problem" with Bush was that he was a "warmonger" for going to war with Iraq. His war against terror helped put an end to terrorist threats. It's been 9 years since the attacks, and there have not been any other domestic attacks since.

Also, no one should claim Bush was a bad president for his speech, or accent, for that is discrimination, and goes against every Liberal idea in the book.

Those who wonder how Bush could have ever taken office when he is "so stupid and speaks like an 8 year old", (as I have seen said before on many forums), should realize that he was ELECTED INTO OFFICE BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. So therefore, you should stop bashing someone you voted to lead your country.

I am not a Democrat nor a Republican, and I have no public policy regarding politics, but I stand for Bush, for he stood strong when our nation needed it the most.

Because, sadly, so many are raised by people who have had ignorant and racial thoughts in their heads thought to them since birth. They simply do not know any other way to deal with differences than with hatred. Whether American or not, racism is a sad example of how hate, violence, and ignorance travel from generation to generation. But thankfully, love, peace, and knowledge are also passed on, and these are really our only weapons against racism.

Racism makes people feel sad because they are getting bullied for their skin colour or nationality.

From the racist's point of view: it may make them feel superior to other human beings of another race, or feel as if they are upholding pride within their race and therefore fulfilling some duty.

From the one being discriminated against point of view: it may make them feel lowly and hurt their self esteem, or make them angry enough to either start a cause against racism or may make them racist in defense of their race.

I don't really now, I'm looking as well, but I've found out that the first professional black player in Britain is believed to have been Arthur Wharton, who signed for Darlington FC in 1889. I don't think there was much racism going on there though.

Sorry, not much help. :(

Considering how small a portion of the population the Jewish people are in America, and the representative government that the country has, it would be pretty difficult to be able to justify such a belief.

This is an irrational question one which furthers dangerous stereotypes, this is because the definition of Islam is -the civilization of Muslims collectively which is governed by the Muslim religion.

Therefore it would become unfair to label Islam as racist or not racist. I have come across really racist degenerates (I mean people) who are Muslim, and I have come across non racist Muslim people.

Besides people fail to see that Islam is broken up into subcultures some who hold irrational extremist beliefs and others who don't. You just can't ask that question because it eliminates individualism

The government can't stop racism, but it has done things to help keep people from becoming victims of racism. One of them is the Civil Rights Act that was passed in 1964. Another is the establishment of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which was formed in 1965.

Anti-Jewish is usually used to describe opinions that are opposed to Jewish religion, practice, beliefs, or aspirations. This is in contrast to Anti-Semitic which is usually used to describe opinions that are opposed to Jewish people.

The main person that stopped segregation was Martin Luther king Jr. but there were many other supporting people such as Rosa Parks who didn't give up her seat in a bus for a white man and was taken to jail.
