Are blacks and jews the same race? I mean, I never knew that or is that wrong? So confusing and if not, why are those two named tribes or statistical aggregates always the focus in these matters and the object of headliines and tv talk shows and their leaders like sharpton and shumer always on tv? what is this all about?

Hmmm. Interesting question. I suppose it comes down to this... maybe it's the squeaky wheel gets the grease theory in practice. I suppose racists focus their attention on Jews and Blacks more than other minorities because they are the most vocal and up-front and out there. However, I think that it might just be perceived that way by those of us that have been discriminated against. I guess the other minorities (Native Americans, Asians, Latinos, etc.) feel that they are just as discriminated against.

well, it depends on what's "hot" in the media sometimes...or so it seems. if you venture into a lot of different forums here in Yahoo answers, you'll see a lot of different "haters." some of the them are the same ones who troll around spewing their hatred in multiple forums. thanks to our bigoted president making such a huge issue of trying to amend the constitution to legally discriminate against homosexuals, he made it "cool" for the other homophobes to come out of the closet and start amending state constitutions to ban gay marriage. and then he started on the Mexicans by insisting on building the big fence. makes you wonder what other minorities he doesn't like! what he needs to realize is, a) you shouldn't mix religion and politics, and b) you shouldn't make public your personal prejudices when your the President of the damn country!
believe me....the bigots/racists are still equal opportunity haters!
fortunately, more and more people see the evil of their ways and the damage that irrational hatred can do.....and they tolerated them less and less.
and if bigots keep raising their children to hate and fear everyone/everything that's different than they are, there will always be bigots, unfortunately.
personally, I think teaching a child to hate is right up there with child abuse. you're socially retarding your child. and, how do you know that some of those kid's won't grow up and have that hatred turn into violence?

I am going to guess it is because the blacks and the jews are the people who are most vocal about injustice, they (racist people)can't stand people who get in their way

I think everyone is the same. Racism also affects the muslims to a certain extent after 9/11 of been accused of blowing it up (Osama Bin Laden). I think we are all one of the same & racism should be cut out.

Everyone hates everyone. It's amazing how animals can figure out how to coexist, but humans can't. Whites vs. Blacks, Blacks vs. Whites, Mexico vs. US, Gays vs. Conservatives, Democrats vs. Republicans. It's the law of the land though, there have always got to be 2 sides to have an evenly distributed range of bullshit. Can't we all just get along?

do the racists that smell good focus on a different group?
Blacks and Jew's are not the only people who attract the attention of racist's....a racist hate's anyone who is different from him/her.....all racism is wrong...

They are not...
Hispanics have been headlined because of the immigration laws.
People of middle eastern descent have been headlined due to the war.

Yes it is true. Blacks and jews are the same race.
Whatever the case, it is important to note that many blacks and many jews are racists, despite the fact that you attempted to imply that only non-blacks and non-jews are racists. In fact, probably far more blacks are racist and even more jews are racists. Perhaps this is what invites others to be racist towards them in return.
