Examples of religious intolerance in regard to Mormons?

Historically, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) faced extreme religious intolerance. In the 1800's, they were driven out of their homes several times, forced to leave with only what they could carry. Many men were beaten, tarred, feathered, and unjustly imprisioned. Their homes will pilliaged and burned. Their prophet and the patriarch were murdered. After they were driven out of Kirtland, Ohio, their sacred temple was ransacked and used as a barn. They were forced to leave Missouri after the governor of the state issued an Extermination Order against them, saying that the "Mormons must be exterminated or driven from the state."

Early missionaries faced mob violence, several were beaten or tarred and feathered, and a handful were shot. Being run out of town was a common occurrance, and many baptisms had to be performed at night to hide from persecuters.

Today, Church members most commonly face taunting and mocking from others. Converts are often disowned by their families and friends. Anti-Mormon sentiment is popular, there are countless internet sites, radio and television programs, and individuals spreading lies about the Church or mocking the things they hold most sacred. At large Mormon gatherings, there are almost always several Anti-Mormon demonstrators, some of which have resorted to aggressive tactics. Several times a year, reports of Church Meetinghouses being vandalized reach the newsmedia.

What is 'racism of lowered expectations'?

"Racism of lowered expectations" is a new form of racism that is developing in liberal circles as an overreaction to the pushes for equality between Whites and Non-Whites and Imperialists and the Victims of Imperialism. As an indirect outgrowth of the ideas of pluralism has come an acceptance of not only the distinctiveness of people's cultures, but of their legal and political perspectives. This has gone to the point where to avoid appearing culturally insensitive, a nation or its citizens will not openly hold Whites and Non-Whites to the same legal standards or hold them to same expectations in international politics.

For example, some individuals have criticized the way that Serbia and Israel were and are vilified for their human rights abuses relative to the much larger and more pervasive human rights abuses that go on in numerous African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian countries. According to "racism of lowered expectations", the Whites (in Serbia and Israel) are held to a superior standard of behavior than the Non-Whites who "cannot be expected to behave as well". Of course, Non-Whites are just as capable of observing humans rights as Whites are, which is why this expectation is a form of racism.

What is a good title for a informational poster on the topic of desegregation?

  • United we win
  • We no longer have to sit at the back of the bus
  • We are all human beings
  • Separate is not always equal
  • We're not all that different

If you want ideas for poster content or a cartoon, here is one. Draw two water fountains, one labeled Black (or "Colored" as was the term in the old days) and one labeled White. Maybe add a police officer to guard them, and draw a Martian or other space alien approaching the officer. Then the title or caption could be, "Where am I supposed to drink?"

Or you could play off of the separate not being equal theme and say, "Separate is Not Equal. Then you could then depict the Brown v. Topeka decision. You could draw two schools, or two classrooms. Draw them for different races, within one that is nice and one that is unsafe and falling apart. You could show technological differences, like a computer lab in one (they didn't have that then, but kids would relate) and students talking through tin cans on the other. Or show outside the place, with one having a vary well-kept grounds and building with a security guard and gates, and the other with the building collapsing, the weeds grown up, and maybe a pickup truck with a Confederate flag on it, with "rednecks" on the back of it, and maybe some with rifles.

Or, another outer space themed one could show maybe Purple People and Green People, maybe show them segregated or fighting and have the title, "This Doesn't Happen in Space." They could be saying things like, "We won't let our daughter marry a Green guy," and the maybe a Green person saying, "Them Purple people always hold us back!"

On not being that different, maybe you could divide a poster in to two halves. Show a group of people in each of a different hue, with both sides saying the same mildly racist things. The title can be, "We Are Not really All That Different."

Why do Jewish blood libels circulate in the Arab World when the Arabs did not invent them?

Sadly, if you have been taught to hate "the other," you will use any old stereotypes and myths to illustrate or "prove" why your hatred of them is warranted. While Arabs and Jews got along well at certain periods in history, there were also verses in the Qur'an which spoke negatively of Jews and said they could not be trusted. Still, it wasn't really until the early 1900s that classic anti-Semitic tropes began to circulate, including the vile forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." Discredited in the Western world, it found a home in the Muslim world, where some important Muslim clerics embraced it, since it gave a putative excuse to show the Qur'an was correct that the Jews could not be trusted.

The same with blood libels: again, if you have already been taught that the Jews are the people who killed the prophets and are deceitful and dangerous, the myth that they use the blood of Christians or Muslims in their nefarious plots fits nicely into that negative narrative, since it seems to "prove" why the Jews must not be trusted. Unfortunately, many Muslims in conservative countries rarely get to meet an actual Jew, so they may pick up myths and stereotypes instead (the internet has been a mixed blessing here-- while it enables people from various cultures to communicate, it can also be used to spread anti-Jewish or anti-whoever myths far and wide); add some religious leaders determined to stir up hatred, and it can give legitimacy to those myths. Given little opportunity for critical thinking or fact-checking, the Muslims in countries where such beliefs are espoused by clerics and politicians may assume these false beliefs must have some validity.

Was Richard stokes the only black to face racism in the grenadier guards?

No he was not! When i joined the Guards there was another young lad who wanted to serve his country, but was subjected to all manner of hate, he went AWOL and even went to The Sun news paper to tell the world what he was having to put up with.

I don't remember his name, however, i did witness racism suffered by him and would like to contact him because i think he should get compensation for the abuse he experienced.

If anyone could help in finding this person, please leave a message.

Also, racism is a huge problem. and the grenadier guards are not small. someone will always think they are better.

"hemo", short for blood (a prefix). Only suggested because emo is in terms of slang, so I suppose it wouldn't matter if I threw out a prefix.

What is same-sex marriage discrimination?

Same-sex marriage discrimination consists of an adverse action against a married gay person in the area of housing, employment or public accommodation. In states that recognize same-sex marriage, some discrimination is illegal when it is based on sexual orientation, gender and/or marital status. (For example, your spouse would have been treated differently if he were a woman. Single people, straight people and opposite-gender couples are not impacted by the act in question.) Some discrimination is not illegal, when it amounts to merely snide comments, rudeness or the like. In some states, crimes committed with a hate crime component carry an enhanced penalty. This can include acts such as graffiti, harassment, etc.

How are Christians supposed to respect Jewish beliefs when Jews don't believe in Christ?

Answer 1

You can respect the fact that others believe in their own beliefs, even though neither group believes in the other's beliefs. The fact that people have a tradition and stick to it should have value.

Specifically, Judaism is the root of many Christian beliefs and values. Not respecting Jewish beliefs would partially undermine Christian beliefs.

Answer 2

Quite easily. Respecting a person and believing their truth claims are two very different propositions. If you treat Jews with humility and decency, they will be quite pleased and fine with this conduct. Jews do not expect (and do not want) masses of Christians to "Jewishify" in an attempt to be "respectful". This is not respect, but pandering. Jews understand that as a Christian, you will not agree with everything they say and they in turn will not agree with everything you say, but the act of listening and discussing is itself what the Jew is looking for.
