Racism through history.

It's certainly been around since Ancient Greek times.

In fact the pejorative word barbarian derives from the Greek barbaroi, which referred to any non-Greek speaker. And they certainly treated other Greek peoples with a kind of mutual respect they did not show towards other foreigners.

Originally posted by Artaxiad People imagine that whites are the only racists around. That's kind of a stereotype, don't you think? Racism towards whites is generaly ignored. The Irish are considered good drinkers

Yes it's true

And whites can be racist towards other whites. Look at the nazis - they were racist towards slavs. And the nordic racists were/are racists to the s�mi

Yes, racism has been around since the beginning of time, and extremely few if any cultures were immune to it....white, black, orientials, hispanics, etc and so on....all did it to their own races as well themselves.

Racism is part of human culture.

Umm, Marx was himself Jewish (ironicly, the usual conspiracy theory is that Jews started communism, the book he wrote was called 'On the question of Jews', and was a critique of civil rights), and the reason he expected a revolution to happen in England and Germany was because they had a large working class employed in factories, which Russia didn't (sod all to do with 'asiatic' bollucks in other words).
He was a firm believer that revolution would come from the newly Urbanised working classes. Peasant farmers had existed for millenia and not been able to bring on anything like the sort of revolution he envisioned, and he expected that wouldn't change.
Racism predates Darwin, as does social Darwinism, the name was simply adopted to make it sound more fancy. Besides, Marx came before Darwin.

The racism is also present in Latin America.
As an example, the old colonial social system divided to the societity by castes ,like in India.

The top of the societity were the peninsular europeans and the sons of europeans born in America ( creoles ). The mestizos were not accepted neither by the europeans or the natives. The natives suffered a type of slavery under the Encomienda system. The african slaves were imported to support the hard work at the mines and in the agriculture.

Plus, the philipines that moved to America. Of course, the morrs and jewish that were escaping from the Inquisition in Europe.

Now, after America reached the independence from Europe, we still suffer the racism impossed between us. The most desired look is to be taller, blonde or having blue/green eyes.

The word Indio is applied in many places as a peyorative word. That word should be word to be full of pride for being a direct heir of the old mesoamerican / andean cultures.


The chinese were discriminated as well.Pancho Villa hated the chinese . Even a massive deportation of chineses were ordered back in 1920's. That's when my grand grand mother moved from Northern Mexico to Michoacan.


Mexico has been the only country in America that had a native pure blood born president ( Benito Juarez ).
General Vicente Guerrero ( 2nd Mexican President ) was mulato

Marx sent letters to Darwin and said that after this theory he could fill the blank  about the origin of the human that this problem was the one of the biggest problems of materialism.Marx's "On the Jewish Question" also known as "A World without jews". But on this name problem you are right because the original name was "On the Jewish Question" .But in the content of the book there were accusations to Jewish beliefs and life style beyond civil rights.To Marx Jews worship Mammon , not God.Judaism was just a cover on this Jewish anti-moral capitalist belief.

All materialist Jews as Marx dreamed a world without religions and nationalism. So in a communist world there would be neither christianism nor judaism. Thus , "the christ killer" mark on the jews would be lost deep in history and they would be equal persons among other people.

Originally posted by temiryal�g The real racism started with darwinist idea. In 19. century the most common idea in western and nortern Europa was racism. Because they believe that they are at the top of the evaluation of humankind.

What would you think, you live in the Industrial Age and most of the others in the Middle Age, even some in the Stone Age.

A lot in Europeans think that Easterners are ready to kill for they honour, even own family members, and it is true, I would even kill my sister, my own blood, if she would not marry a Slavian Muslim preferably he should be a Bosnian.  I do not consider me as a Racialist and some of my best friends are Blacks, but I could never accept such things.

In this Questions has nothing to do with religion.

But real Racism generalisates a folk, and declares iit as Underhuman.

Its ok, if he ever did something his sister didn't like, his sister would be allowed to kill him.

So-called 'Honour' killings are not particulary 'Islamic', its just backward tribalism.

Personally, I think if you are willing to kill your kin for anything short of mortal self-defense you are crazy. I mean who are you to determine the fate of your sister? That's blasphemy, no matter what god you worship.

Just my two cents...
