What year did martin Luther king jr stop racism?

Using civil disobdience (non-violent protests and peace rallies), Martin Luther King Jr. encouraged the African American community to fight for civil rights without violence. MLK's persistence led to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where he gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Shortly after, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.

Why did the Egyptians Romans and later Hitler hate the Jews Why are these people the most hated in history?

The ancient Egyptians actually did not hate Jews, and archeology has suggested that the Jews weren't even slaves, just workers.

As for the Romans and Hitler, it was probably because the Jews were a minority with different beliefs and a different culture from the majority. The Jews did not have their own country anymore during World War II, and were scattered across Europe, but they did not give up on their culture, and therefore a lot of people thought they did not fit in, and since they weren't Christian and Europe had been very religious for centuries before, the Jewish people were seen as different, and those who are different are very often treated badly. Hitler not only hated Jews, he also hated Gypsies, homosexuals and handicapped people. I think the centuries long hatred for Jews was all because the Jews did not have their own country, so they instead lived in other countries and never gave up on their culture, so they became outcasts.

I will tell you why, because it was supported by the law and it was at the advantage of white people over non-white people!

Can someone sue a landlord for discrimination against her handicap?

Yes. But the suit would be for discrimination against the tenant who is handicapped, not for discrimination against the handicap. The justification for most suits for discrimination against people with handicaps is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which is explained at http://www.jan.wvu.edu/links/adalinks.htm

Is sex discrimination same with the gender stereotyping?

Sex discrimination refers to treating someone unfairly due to their sex, such as in employment or education. Gender stereotyping is making assumptions about individuals based on societal expectations of how males and females should behave. They are related as gender stereotypes can lead to sex discrimination, but they are not the same thing.

How has racism decreased ever since the 1930's?

An answer to this question would depend on what part of the world you are talking about, and what groups of people. Let's look at the relationship between whites and blacks in the united States.

There still is racism, of course, but less than there was in the 1930s. For one thing, the races were so separated in society of the 30s, some people did not think of the other race as even being human. We are now generally more aware of how we are all individuals with many of the same problems, hopes, and goals. Civil Rights laws have helped; people encountering each other in the same classrooms and work spaces have--in some cases, at least--become less racist.

Segregation is a bad thing. The WikiAnswers person that wrote before me wrote something not very nice, stating that Whites will always hate blacks. In fact, One of my best friends in black, why does it matter if they're skin is different? What is one day you're friend came in with a permanent black tattoo on her skin, would you hate her?? I don't think so, so stop segregation!!

Duuuuude someone answer. What is the KKK and why do they believe in racism?

The KKK, or Ku Klux Klan, is a group (also known as skinheads) who are racist, often violently so, against gays, blacks, Islamics, Jews, and others.

You would have to ask one of them yourself, but I think it is because they were raised up to just not think of other people to have feelings and thoughts like themself, and that for some reason other ethnicities/religions/etc are inferior, and just aren't human.

They have no reason to back it up: My father (who is Jewish) was talking to a friend (not KKK, but anti-semetic). They got into a whole argument about how Jews are bad, and he'd know right away if there was a jew, and my dad still giving him chances to get out of it, and my dad and his other friend (who knew) were almost cracking up, because the guy was positive. This just goes to show that the KKK just don't understand, but have been affected too deeply to change. Just ignore them.

Electrical discrimination is when a smaller circuit breaker (fuse) located closer to an electrical fault, operates before a bigger circuit breaker which is further away from the fault.

Is Al Sharpton divisive?

Al Sharpton is not only divisive, but many of his intentions are clearly stemmed from a deep distrust and even hate of anything anyone not black (this can also be described as racist). His tolerance for a black criminal like Michael Vick (found guilty) and his CONDEMNATION for the innocent Duke students show how unfair and racist he is. It's too bad that many blacks still choose to listen to this bitter old man along with his partner in "crime" Jesse Jackson. They should really listen to Bill Cosby. What he says has more depth and more "realness". We all know how black folks say they "keep it real". Really? Then listen to Bill, he was actually onto something "real".

Why do STDs discriminate against women?

It's easier for women to get STDs because of fluids left in the vagina, and small cuts that occur during intercourse. Also, women are less likely to have symptoms that would prompt getting medical care.
