While cultural differences and misunderstandings can certainly play a role in conflict, it's important to recognize that the root causes of racial tensions between white and black people are far more complex and deeply rooted in historical and systemic factors. Addressing these underlying issues is essential for achieving true racial equality and justice.
No not in that context. By acting in ways that elevate your own race as superior to theirs. People who believe their race is superior to others and act and behave in a superior way. People who hate other races and do violence to them. Somehow these people feel that they are better than others, and force their will against "inferior" others.
Understanding it requires understanding 3 different areas:
It's also important to remember that the vast majority of Muslims condemn violence and terrorism. This is the same with Americans, the vast majority of Americans condemn violence, terrorism, and hate crimes.
Kate, I doubt that scenario would be given much press. Just my feeling. We are a pro-Israeli nation.
I don’t think it’s mean or rude. The holocaust was absolutely horrific and everyone should feel that way.
You don't understand why people show bigoted behavior? Not a problem. Usually it has been ingrained into a society or community over time by the more powerful to manipulate the less powerful and maintain the status quo. For example, often poor whites in the deep south are encouraged to feel they are better than the black folks.
No one wants to kill Romans because they and their Empire are long gone. As for blaming them there is no mileage in that. The New Testament's version gets lots of mileage from it instead.
So some just hate the Jews for no reason as I see it. Some folks gotta hate so they make up a reason!
I think wherever you got those answers from, some good points made.
You missed the Japanese massacres of WWII
The vast majority of Muslims do not condemn violence and terrorism. Muslims are defined by their belief in the teachings of Muhammad and the Quran. Those who condemn these teachings aren’t Muslim. The Quran is a violent theology that allows polygamy, slavery, discrimination against women, beatings, chopping off body parts, and killing. It was dictated by a man who had 11 wives, and one of them was a 9 year old girl.
Don’t get me started on UP. They have been a thorn in our backs for years. Their endowment is somewhere around $22 billion. That would allow a lot of kids a free education if they wouldn’t be trying to hold back. They aren’t the only university with big or bigger endowment funds. All tax free money. My kids went to more public smaller schools where only education was taught and not society issues and ways to demonstrate or raise hell were being burned into their brains.
Religious intolerance exists wherever there's a dominant religion.
I heard an interesting explanation of that perpetual hostility.... From the Biblical record, it was Jews who encouraged the Romans to find Jesus guilty and thus he was crucified. Later the Crusaders made their pilgrimages to the Holy Land because the theory was that if they died on crusade, they'd go straight to heaven. So they went there to push back the Muslims, get help from God and take back the region for God and Christians. In the process, they also fought against the Jews who lived there.
That's very scary because it can happen when you least expect it. I don't know what you can do about it though because I think so much of the problem goes back to how children are raised and educated. And so many are raised without love or respect, without hope for a good future, without good educations that would enable a good future......so many variables to figure out.....fat chance though, that anyone will every manage that.
IMO, people haven't forgotten, nor should they. I'm always seeing and hearing about the holocaust and the terrible, unfathomable things that happened during that time. But at the same time, we as Black people get this: "Oh slavery...that was a long time ago. Get over it !"
