Do you like President Obama and why?
No, because he has broken most of his promises that he made during the campaign. The stimulus plan is flushing the economy down the toilet. I do hope he turns the country around, because if not many will have to deal with it.
Yes, he has and is working on the things he has promised, such as getting the war over, he has done that. Many people think it is him that made the economy bad, it is BUSH's mess he is cleaning up.
Yes. I like what he has accomplished in his first term. For a list of all those accomplishments, see the related question below about what people think he has done right as President so far. I also like him because he has a great sense of humor and a romantic and loving relationship with his wife.
Yes. He has helped my family.
No. Personally I don't. Here are the reasons I hate him. First off he supports C.O.O.L. which stands for: Country Of Origin Labeling. He also supports many other artificial trade barriers, screws over other countries, and he hates NAFTA. So because of him we are going to have another recession because of trade wars.
Yes. I like him because he gives women choice over abortion. If an extreme conservative, like Santorum, were president all women who were pregnant would have to have their baby. Like, you go into the office and say "I would like an abortion," and they would say, "Nope its the law now" but...I mean some people might say it's good, but what if you are 12,13,or even 14? Wow that's young - way too young to have a baby and people don't get it. So you might want to have an abortion but you can't. President Barack Obama gives a choice, he says he wants every woman to have a choice and a lot of other things.
Yes. As people can tell by my user name Fan of Obama, I'm a big fan of President Obama. Presidents Reagan and Bush were supposedly anti-abortion and both were in office for 8 years each: a total of 16 years. During that time abortion remained legal.
Yes. Although I disagree with Obama on abortion, I think that he is shaping up to be a good president in a very, very difficult position.
Yes. I am very pleased with his work so far as President. If he had the cooperation of Congress instead of their obstructionism, he would have been able to do so much more good. But, with a second term, we could see even more progress than we have in the first term.
Yes. The majority of Americans polled are saying that they are very happy with the President. He has one of the highest Presidential approval ratings of most recent Presidents.
Yes. He's fixing our country that President Geo. W. Bush messed up.
No. But all liberals love him.
No. And you shouldn't.
No. One reason why I don't like him is because there is a picture of him toasting (praising) the leaders of 9/11. It was all over news right before the 2008 election. I wouldn't vote for him and I don't like him because he has no experience in politics whatsoever.
Yes. I like him, he's a good guy.
No. He is black and doesn't know what he's doing.
Yes. As do people who fought for civil rights.

What was the US Supreme Court case Reed v. Reed 1971 about?
A mandatory provision of the Idaho probate code that gives preference to men over women when persons of the same entitlement class apply for appointment as administrator of a decedent' estate is based solely on a discrimination prohibited by and therefore violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
What tribe of Muslims hate Americans?
Muslims never hate Americans. Many Muslims live in the US and have good relations with the Americans. They all cooperate together and share responsibilities in the American society.
However, Muslims don't like the American foreign policy that is biased against their needs and aspirations, biased just for the benefit of Us and Israel own interests and benefits. Refer to related question below.

Why is nick griffin so racist?
I assume you are referring to the man who is a British politician, and a member of a far-right nationalist political party. While many politicians are noble and want to help people, politics can also attract people with their own bigoted agenda. Mr. Griffin seems to be in that category, using his political platform to spew his own brand of hatred.

What in psychology would help you see other peoples insecurities easily?
- As you know psychologists study human nature so human nature was part of studying to be a psychologist. Everyone has one or two insecurities as we are not perfect human beings, but if some insecurities are stopping the client from having a full and enjoyable life and move on in their future then the psychologist needs to get to the bottom of these insecurities. If you simply come out and ask your client what they feel their insecurities are they will most likely think about it and give the psychologist an answer. One thing a psychologist could do is simply talk to their client and then ask them to go home and write down any insecurities they feel they have and at their next appointment they should bring the list with them and the psychologist and client can go over the list and discuss it and it is up to the psychologist to give the client tools to deal with these insecurities.
religious places of worship
e.g. church can only employ christians:)
The Army
e.g the army couldn't employ a member of the enemy :)
It MAY be possible - but it might be a bit of a stretch because you aren't being (allegedly) discriminated against overtly because of your race, it is your family who is causing it which may take it out of the realm of workplace enforcement.

1970s racism period in Australia?
There has always been racism in Australia. before the late 1970's most of the immigrants that came into Australia were at least reasonably white looking. However after Australia's involvement in the Vietnam war there was a huge influx of Asian people. And the you would not have to listen for long to hear a lot of racist comment. Even me I came to Australia from the Netherlands an am as white as the driven snow, I learnt to speak English within a year and could speak and understand it better then average within another 6 months with a bit of an accent, that was enough to be given a hard time by the average Auzy. The treatment the aboriginals got in those days was hardly better then today. The only difference there is in regards to racism is that we don't speak about it however it is still definitely rife.

What percentage of current world leaders are women?
Of the 193 countries recognised by the United Nations, 12 have a female head of government (Prime Minister, Chancellor, or some Presidents) , a percentage of 6.2%.
30 countries have a female head of state (Queen or President), a percentage of 15.6%.
Assuming you mean ILLEGAL discrimination (most discrimination is lawful), then you don;t ask the employer much - there is an incentive to lie. Investigators look at hiring, promotion and pay PATTERNS by race, sex, or age.
Employers can then explain why a pattern looks unusual.
Why are black guys so ignorant?
Overall, they are not. That said, when it does occur, it is a combination of lack of educational opportunities, legacy, peer pressure, and local culture.
For years, African-Americans were denied educational opportunities. There were even laws forbidding teaching African-Americans how to read and write. When education first became legal for African-Americans, the schools were unsafe, and often of lower quality than schools where Caucasian students attended. Segregation kept Black students out of higher quality White schools.
As the fight for civil rights developed, some people of color equated education with "acting White." African-Americans who could speak clear English using proper grammar were viewed with suspicion and considered sell-outs. Even today, African-Americans are physically attacked on occasion by other African-Americans because of their intelligence and ability to verbally express themselves. Males face this pressure more than females.
Now, the question is particularly about males. Somewhere along the line, education and Caucasian culture became associated with effeminacy or weakness in the minds of some African-American men. Book smarts became known as something that people who are not street smart do because they are too weak to do otherwise. The struggle to survive in a tough, racist world devalued education in their minds. Some even began to connect intelligence with gender or sexual orientation. The more intelligent and self-empowered someone is, the less sex they might have have with members of the opposite sex. Since reproduction means creating more people who are similar to you and loyal to your cause, then those who didn't reproduce were seen as sell-outs or traitors in a day that equated sex with fighting racism.
Even today, there is incredible peer pressure among African-American men, and such men living in tough environments still put much more emphasis on physical strength and survival than on intellect. They have more education than those who came before them, since more educational opportunities are available, but they might not value education nor have as much desire for it as they could have. These lingering attitudes seem to partly explain the gender divide and why Black women are more likely than in the past to date other races. They lack the pressures that the men face and look to men who have attitudes and values closer to their own.

Do black men receive longer prison sentences than white men for the same crimes?
+ It is very unfortunate, that there is no outcry among African Americans for what is going on. I personally know of men who smoked marijuana at one time but stopped...but because they associated at one time or another with someone who did, they are serving 15 to 20 years in prison. Judges are able to do this through what is called "Conspiracy Charges". When you get a conspiracy charge, they (the feds) collect as much marijuana or cocaine as they can and charge each person they've arrested with that exact amount of drugs. It does not matter whether you personally ever even saw the marijuana or not. You are charged and sentenced as though you personally sold it. This action is legal because whites have made it legal, thus making it possible to imprison a huge number of black men for long periods of time and not one family member can do anything about it.
+
+ Is it just? No, but then the Justice System has a horrendous history of allowing lynchings and rapes against blacks to go on in America without one arrest. So it is no wonder that it continues to be unjust in it's sentencing of blacks today.
Answer:It depends on which country you are in, in America there may be some evidence supporting this theory. In the United Kingdom the reverse is true, with white people regularly getting significantly longer sentances than black people for similar violent crimes.The reason for this is not certain, but some believe it is down to the privileged upper class judges and there ideological views (white people should know better).
