Why is most racism directed at Blacks and Jews?

Question

they both have a big history of racism.

But why is racism directed mostly particularly on them?
why not other races?

do people throw racism at what they fear most?
or is it because they are regarded as the most inferior?
is it because racists think they don't stay down in their place?

Is it because blacks are intimidating physically, are masculine and are dominant in sports... will being racist keep them down in their place which racists belive is at the bottom and same for Jews because they are rich and successful?

Greed_2.0, by the way you are speaking is what i said above right? are you intimidated because you assume all black people are phsyically superior? i read 85% of professional basketball players are black... does this bother you?

You would be surprised that most racilly motivated physical attacks and murder attacks are directed at jews and blacks according to statistics which make up in the high 80%

deacon, no wonder why every race of people have hate for jews from white and even muslim, i hope not everyone of you are like that, you are racist your self thinking the jews are so special... i think you actually gave me a negative oppinion of jews congraulations.

I am not against jews but a lot of jews are racist, at least i have learned today!

Are Jews this full of themselves because i am for one not jealous... actually if there was a reason i think people have ill feelings against them it is because they themselves have a superiority complex.

james q, there is never any justification and i never said it was just to hate i just said it could be the reason why |Jews are being generalised.

Robert Shelton, allways good to see your being racist.... did you get banned? how did you delete all the answers you made?..

Answer 1

Different reasons.

Jews were often blamed because they were seen as powerful, controlling the world behind the scenes. Some of this fear is legit, as the Jewish culture encourages education and smart business practices.

Ironically, the opposite is true of blacks; it helped people justify their mistreatment and/or enslavement of blacks to paint them as genetically inferior, even using religious history to justify their actions.

In general, discrimination is based on fear of difference; those most insecure are most likely to be bigots.

Answer 2

Actually where I live people are most racist to Mexicans and other immigrants that "are stealing our jobs" and Muslims- Racism against Blacks people and Jewish people has been highly publicized what with the Holocaust and when Caucasians enslaved African Americans. I also think that media up until 9-11 would always use either Black people or Jewish people to be the victims of racism on television shows- but now the focus has shifted to Muslims it seems.

Why do you think that most racism is directed to Blacks and Jews?

Answer 3

Well, there's no special reason why racism is usually pointed towards blacks or Jews. But there is lot of racism to other nationalities or religions. Racism is a form of hate. Fear is the root of hate so yes, A racist is racist because they fear that race. Once someone is racist, I think they actually start to believe that they are superior when that isn't true.

Answer 4

It is absolutely impossible to determine which race(s) experiences more racism/discrimination. Statistics are unreliable for a number of reasons: (1) There is no way to know whether or not a source is unbiased, (2) statistics can be fudged to reflect positively or negatively upon any group of people, (3) many (perhaps most) crimes are never reported, (4) there is potential for error since people are not perfect, (5) statistics never reveal all factors, etc...
And we certainly can't rely upon the media for such information, as the media is motivated by greed- NOT truth.
Likewise, we can't rely upon personal experience or observation since no one knows enough people in this world in order to form an accurate conclusion.

I also think it's rather ridiculous to compare blacks and Jews because whether or not someone is a Jew depends upon more than just physical characteristics. There are religious Jews (adherents of Judaism) who consist of blacks, whites, Asians, etc..., people identified as Jews due to being born to a woman who is an adherent of Judaism, descendants of the ancient Hebrews, members of Semitic-speaking peoples (Arabs, Ethiopians, Hebrews, etc...), and so on.

Concerning why people are racist- There are several reasons. Some were raised by racists. Some are ignorant and misinformed. Some hate anyone who is different from them. The list goes on...

Ronaldinho- You asked, "Does believing that one is superior mean that one hates the other?" ----No, not necessarily. Not all racists actually feel hatred for those they believe to be inferior to them.

Answer 5

I attended a Neo-Nazi rally, and took note of the ethnicities referred to the most. (Though I am against their views, I went neither as a supporter nor protester, but as a student reporter).

While the Jews or African Americans were degraded or slandered a lot, Latinos (or Mexicans, in particular) were subjected to the most vulgarities and insults. Meanwhile, no other ethnicities or nationalities were mentioned. I had never been in the presence of such hate in my life.

I am neither ethnocentric nor xenophobic. Nevertheless, I have a random question, because I see the reference of "racism" a lot:
Does believing that one is superior mean that one hates the other?

Answer 6

the undertaking right this is that the caucasian race is defined because of the fact the "majority" collectively as all different races and ethnic communities are defined as "minorities". This was the case, as whites, and particularly white men held maximum folk of ability interior the economic and company worldwide. Given the present state of the U.S. Census, and the certainty that white men no lopnger make up 20% of the inhabitants, i've got self belief that those words must be revised and reviewed. additionally, the internet has introduced us all at the same time in strategies that we could no longer have dreamed of whilst those words have been coined. equivalent possibility, women's liberation, and girls's sufferage, alongside with the introduction of communities like the NAACP as nicely because of the fact the yankee Civil Liberties Union have strove to make for a greater point enjoying container. your own perspectives, i've got self belief stem from the certainty that as we are seen because of the fact maximum folk (even with the undeniable fact that this is now no longer the case) anybody else seems to have an "us against them" mentality. i've got self belief that there's no want for a so-called "white equality" group, as our origins (globally) span a lots wider selection (actually ALL of Europe and a great form of the former Soviet Union) than the hispanic and/or African American cultures. quite, our origins as caucasians are too distinctive for any group to embody all of them. i could be in prefer of say a scottish-american equaliy group, or an anglo-eu equality group, bu no longer a WASP equality group (relatively as white anglo saxon protestant men themselves are traditionally in charge for a honest volume of racism themselves). ultimately, I merchandise to this finished question in simple terms with the aid of your use of the term ZOG. For some education on your "own people" %. up a e book called "American religious historic previous" by utilising Amanda Porterfield

Answer 7

Oh, so when my "Cracker A**" is playing basketball those comments from the kids from Ohio who think their skin color makes them better players are a hallucination?

Everyone is discriminated against at some point in their life.

Racism is a personal bias learned from your social upbringing -- try to limit sweeping generalizations and maybe people could stand each others company better.

Answer 8

Hey guy, I am 6'4 @ 185 pounds. There are white people just as big as black people, and black people just as small as white people. I am not intimidated by a bunch of ghetto thugs, you can bet on that. Saying that whites are racist because they are scared...... very, very, foolish


Jewish people wouldn't be the top two races that are discriminated against.

But most often people of a certain race are discriminated against not because a racist is scared, stupid, or was raised to be racist.

Most people are racist because the majority of minorities do not act very nice. I mean, you have a nice clean town, then a bunch of minorities come in and it turns into anarchy

You sound a bit racist yourself??

Answer 9

~I must have missed that information on the news. I don't think most racism is directed at them.
I don't have a problem with either one, UNLESS, one causes problems with me. Still, it isn't racism to dislike one of them.
All the above, that you mentioned, and them some for all racists.
BTW, I'm considering Obama for President.~
