Who do you think suffered more Jews, Blacks, or Indians?

Question

I am discussing this in my sociology class.

Answer 1

The Poor suffer the most on this earth.End of story.

Answer 2

Interesting question. I would say Indians.
I don't know how many different tribes of
American Indians there are, but each tribe was
systematically and routinely lied to, cheated, and their culture was changed the most within
the shortest amount of time. They were
essentially forced to go from a nomadic/hunter-gatherer way of life to an industrial standard of living within 150 years.

If you look at Jews, their culture has changed the least from all the conquering and inter-social mingling their people have had with other cultures.

As for Blacks, their tribes were more numerous than our American Indians, but slaves that were brought to the Americas were only from a handful of coastal tribes. So the overall African tribal culture(s) were not as negatively affected as the American Indians were.

Answer 3

I would have to say Indians, because not only were they slaughtered and genocide committed against them on such a massive scale, but their native lands were stolen from them in such a humiliating way and they were forced to live on 'reserves' for them in their own country. They are a still a very depressed people, the highest suicide rate in the country. And look how we raped their precious land? Must be heartbreaking for their people.-- They are just not as vocal about it as the blacks and the Jews.

The blacks were not committed genocide against--their populations are going and growing strong! Though we did victimize them as a people long ago they flourished in whatever island nation they were brought to in the slave trade.

The Jews have been persecuted by many different groups through the ages, and most recently the atrocities by the Nazi regime in Germany, which was horrific, but the Jewish people themselves survived it and are now a very strong, influential, and wealthy community all around the world.

so it is most definately the poor Native American.

Answer 4

Look how many different ethnic groups suffered at the hand of one genre of people and ideals. In reference to (blacks), the proper ethnic description is African American and for the (indians) it is Native People or OP's -- original people. You didn't use a color to identify the Jewish or a tagged on name for them either so you should show the other races of people the same respect of proper reference. I would have to say it's the African Americans because their suffering went on for over a hundred years. Once the caucasians took the Native peoples land they pretty much left them alone and although millions of Jewish people died in Europe and were ostracized here it doesn't compare with the other ethnic groups you mentioned.

Answer 5

Jews. They suffered even in biblical times. Black people were in some settings were treated okay, but still enslaved, after being brought to America. Native Americans were robbed of land and forced onto reservations where they were then forced again to learn english. Native Americans suffered for a few years, the ones that didn't revolt. The trail of tears was about the greastest extent of the suffering in which they were relocated in the dead of winter one year, and hundreds perished. That was a short ordeal...so

1. Jews
2. Blacks
3. Native Americans

Answer 6

Although I don't think it's possible to compare sufferings, I would have to say the group in which the suffering had they largest impact on the population as a whole would be Indians. Their entire population was essentially wiped out and they were (and still are) denied the right to exist as a soverign nation.

Answer 7

I dont think the point is which group suffered but the fact that they all suffered.

it is absolutely a subjective opinion.

If you look at the length of time the Jews have had the most suffering over several milenia. Is the only thing I can come up with about the most

Answer 8

Jews, they have been lowered for a really long time. Blacks had slavery, and Indians were wiped out more than anyone else, but Jews have be persecuted for like 2000 years, at least

Answer 9

Jews who have suffered for many centuries. Check the history of: slavery under the Egyptians, the Spanish Inquisition, the Russian pograms and the Holocaust.

Answer 10

I'll have to say indians because to this day thier still getting shafted from the "whiteman" but then the jews were suffering when the romans ruled so thats a tough one but we all know blacks didn't suffer that much.
