Not neccessarily, to some it is physical appearance, others just think they are better than everyone from another race. Racism usually stems from ignorance.

Prior to the Civil War, the southern economy was based primarily on agriculture. Slaves were the majority of the southern work force, so southerners in general supported slavery. They saw it as part of their way of life. The northern economy, however, was based on industry. They had no need for slaves because most industry by that time called for specialized workers, not slaves.
Another point relating to economics: The primary southern crop, cotton, required year-round tending; the northern crops were finished in the fall, so the fields - and thus the slaves - lay fallow for several months. Slave owners did not like maintaining slaves while no work was being done, so they gradually moved to a system of hired hands who could be let go if there was no work to be done, and did not have to be supported.

Actually, the more cogent point is that the conservatives (north and south) favored slavery, while liberals (north and south) were the abolitionists of the time. Thus Abraham Lincoln, though a Repubilcan, was by the standards of his time a social liberal.
One is inclined to doubt that Lincoln, while credited with founding the Republican Party, would even be welcome in that party today. Political liberalism is defined this way:
�A political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of man, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for tolerance and freedom for the individual from arbitrary authority in all spheres of life, especially by the protection of political and civil liberties and for government under law with the consent of the governed.� Webster�s Third New International Dictionary. IT was hard work to in american.69
EDIT: It is also worth noting that in 1860 The Republican party was the more liberal party and the Democratic party was the more conservative.

Why did Jeanine Pirro say that Black Lives Matter is based on a lie?
It looks like she said this because the original cases that sparked the movement didn't result in any convictions showing that Police were at fault. And in a sense, she has a point... if the movement was just based on those cases, then there would be a hole in the logic. However, whether or not those cases did in fact involve injustice, I think that the movement is based on the perception of injustice, and continued discrimination. And in fact, Black lives do matter... as do all others. I think that it just depends on how you look at the movement... is it anti-cop, or just pro-justice? If it is pro-justice and pro-equality, I think it is something we can all get behind. Unfortunately, many people are interpreting it in a negative way. We all have to look at ourselves and see how we can do better in making the world a better place, not taking sides and laying blame.
To many, no form of racism is okay or condoned, so the question of why is not so much valid in the eyes of those who aren't racist and are for equality on all levels.
What was life like before the Americans with Disabilities Act?
Worklife was about the same as now. Profoundly disabled workers were not accommodated if that would be too expensive.
Workers who could not perform every job duty the employer calls essential had no protection - like today.
Workers whose condition was not permanent and sever had no employment rights - like today.
Before ADA, employees had no mechanism to TRY and arrange reasonable accommodation. Qualified individuals with disabilities who were capable of performing all essentila job functions had no protection. That cahnged.
What are the different Christian teachings on racism?
The idea that we are all 'of one blood' was stated specifically by Paul in his sermon on Mars Hill in Athens.
Acts 17:24-26 (King James Version)24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Further to this, it is clear that Jesus died for all the people of the earth, not just one particular nation or race, although it is clear that He was a Jew. Since He died for all and He loves all people then we also ought to do the same. Paul also points out in Galatians, that various barriers which divide people are 'broken down' in Christ, including the barrier of race.
Galatians 3:26-28 (King James Version)26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Is a ban on same-sex marriage a form of apartheid?
Yes. Such prohibition of performance or recognition separates citizens into two groups according to sexual orientation (a social characteristic generally considered to be innate and immutable), then provides benefits and privileges to one group while denying the same to the other group for discriminatory reasons. It, in effect, creates a two-tier system of citizenship, which is the hallmark of apartheid.
