Shouldn't civil rights leaders speak out against the attacks of every race of people when crimes are perpetrated in a bias manner? Your opinions, please.

Fuzzykit, it wasn't hard for Jesus or Ghandi or Martin Luther king, Jr. to see past castes and colors.

Respect for all mankind as a solid principle transcends the bounds of racism. We have so many of all races who consider only what is done to them by other races and not what their race does to others. Respect entails a "you and me" mentality as opposed to a "us vs them."

Nice question semper fi, if you are against racism it should be against it on the whole otherwise you are just being a hypocrite . No race is better than another and no race is less than another. I like your question semper fi. My belief is is as the way I answered,I don't care what race you or anyone else is. the only thing i care about is if you are a good person or bad person. As for race well I'm a mixed breed and i love all of my race and bloodlines. I am proud to be mixed.

Yes, racism is racism. I try to speak up, but, do you know what I notice sometimes? There are individuals within a race that don't appreciate it. They wish to handle their own racial group's issues without help from outsiders. And, I respect their feelings and float away. I try to be fair and see all sides, but sometimes it just isn't possible is it? And, then we end up getting attacked from all sides. I wish that people would reach out and help each other more. There are people who want you to feel sorry for them most of the time, but they give nothing back to society. Sometimes, I just need a breather ..... :D

Yes.
It's kind of like a matter brought up before in R&S.. some are offended by use of the name of the Lord in vain, but no one objects to use of OTHER religious elements.
For instance, I can't say "Oh my God" in the presence of most Christians, but they could say things that potentially offend other religions, and an someone COULD make an argument of that being offensive.
I think it's the same way in this case--majority doesn't mean anything. If you want to stereotype against one thing, be prepared to stereotype them ALL.

I agree with you 100%!
You are a very smart person and I feel that our world will have a chance to suceed as long as we have young leaders as yourself! I am 52 now and truly have fears seeing how our world is progressing in such negative manners. Islamic radicals wanting to kill all who do not believe as they do, " Infidels" as such, or racial problems in certain area of our country...I could go on, but all I can hope for is that common sense will prevail.

Someone else said this, so don't credit it to me. "There is only one race, the human race." I agree.
What we do have is a lot of ethnic hate, inequality discrimination. I do my best to avoid them. Very few things in life where I can say I truely do my best. But on this I do. Others may laugh at me for what I say and do regarding equality and fairness. All I say there is go ahead. But, on this one I believe what I say and practice it as well. Don't want to leave out same on sex equality.

yes, racism is racism, it shouldn't only count for certain groups of people. we should never judge others by the color of their skin, it's really sad that there are people out there that can't look past that sort of thing, and look at the actual individual and their personality, thats what determines if they are a decent person or not, not how light or dark they are.

When or if civil rights leaders use "their" race as their only cause, there are just as guilty as the ones creating "racism".

You're absolutely right: racism is racism, no matter what color the victim is. And you're right about the civil rights leaders.
I feel that everyone is biased and a little racist to an extent. If I said I wasn't, I'd be lying.

Yes, sometimes people get narrow-minded and only focus on the rights of their own racial community, but I think it's important as a society to look out for the rights of all humanity.
