This question is for minorities.?

Question

Do you feel like racism in this country has elevated since Bush has become president?

Classism the same as racism, the poor of this country are mostly minorities.

When used in this country minority refers the races of the people that are not white, YOU get it right.

Wow, the majority of poor people are white??wtf Are you blind? Have you ever been to the ghettos in any large city? Do you want to go to East LA and say that there are no poor people there? Although white people make up for 77 % of the people are welfare they aren't the majority of the poor, they're just the quickest to want to get help from the government and not work for it.

Answer 1

I think for Bush it is a rich or poor thing, which may also be followed by some racism! but i wonder if every one is a little racist.

Answer 2

I think it has.....I don't know if I should have answered this though, Im not sure if I am a minority, I am white but I think that if we are not, we are close to becoming a minority..? Peace everyone.

You did not mention poor people in your original question you just said minority.......don't twist it. I had a child at 18 and was a single mother for a while and I will have you know that I worked my bunns off and went to school to support my daughter and myself! I never once went on state, I never felt that anyone owed me anything so I would take back some of those racist comments you just made about white people! Not ALL of anybody is a certain way, there are people of every color shape and size looking for handouts, and then there are people of every shape color and size who work for what they have because they have a sense of responsiblity for their own path. People like you are the problem, you need to do the waking up!!

Answer 3

I'm not an American citizen I'm from England, but over the past few years I have definately noticed that there is more racial tension around these days.

Every day in the media I notice that there's more talk about muslim terrorists and there is a definate underlying 'don't trust them, watch them' element to all the reports I see and hear.

There also seems to be more racist attacks involving black victims etc. The media is the ideal 'social control mechanism' and to an extent, the government control media outsources.

A perfect example of what I am saying happened to me a few months ago. I am a halfcast jamaican part time mature student at a local college. I was getting some food from the college canteen one time and the college security came up to me and asked me what I was doing there and to show my i.d. I was the only one he asked amongst maybe 150 old and young students, I assume because of the colour of my skin.

This doesn't seem like much on the surface, but it just shows how peoples attitudes are affected by media government etc.

Answer 4

Actually no it was there all along but, people refused to see or chose to the look the other way.But After the way Bush responded slow to Louisiana mostly poverty and black. Then responded speedily to Texas, and other states need for aid. It was there and people of all race was force to looked at things differently. I don't think he did it on purpose he just is not a smart guy.I just think he gave racists more of a platform to spread hatred and division against all other races.Racism is taught through ignorance,fear and hate.When people have hatred in their hearts toward others they hate themselves. "Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.Let no man pull you low enough to hate him."

Answer 5

Hello,

I do not believe so. I think the worst times were in the 1930's, 40', 50's. Congratulations to Tiger Woods again but in those days he would only have been allowed on a golf course as a caddy. Perhaps it seems that way since there is constant attention in the media on the Middle East and big illegal immigration issues.

Answer 6

Yes. There's been this rift between Americans and Latino people ever since this fight about immigration. That wall that's going to be between the US and Mexico really speaks to the racism people are feeling. There's no reason to build it, it's not just because we want to "protect our borders," like the Republicans said. It's to keep the Latinos out. It's just sad where we've gone since he's been president.

I can't express how much of our stature we've lost since he became the president. What used to be a thread of truth in the government is gone.

I can't wait to vote next year.

Answer 7

I think racism has simply evolved and changed over the years. It has always existed, just in different forms. I would strongly consider other aspects of change over the past 7 years rather than pinpointing Bush, especially without any supporting evidence.

Answer 8

Honestly it has nothing to do with Bush, he did not raise ignorant children to become ignorant adults. the definition of the word minority does not refer to a race of people, get it straight and address people properly

Answer 9

5 bucks says if a Democrat was in office the answers would be no or if Barrack wins the election for some reason racism would go down

Answer 10

Have you seen some of the questions posed on Yahoo!Answers? I believe racism is here to stay. And I believe it has little to do with President Bush. Wherever there are people who are different in appearance, you're always going to have that "us" "them" mentality....sadly.
