How would you define racial equality?
436508
We will have racial equality when a person's race is not part of the picture. When we look at skills and attitude rather than skin color.

Good question.\n\nI wish I could be more optimistic but I believe that we are a long way from believing that "all men are created equal".\n\nTerrorism, religious fanaticism, and illegal immigration have polarized race relations.

None, Race is a socially constructed idea and therefor has no numerical or sceintific requirements.

What makes you think equality is realistic, important or even appropriate.  People have different levels of talent, abilities and, quite frankly, merit.  These things cluster in certain populations, including race.

There are many different ways to use the word "Race".  You could be describing the Human Race, or something as defined as the specific breed of person or animal.\n\nRace is described as follows:\n\nA local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.\nA group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.\nA genealogical line; a lineage.\nHumans considered as a group.\nBiology. \nAn interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies.\nA breed or strain, as of domestic animals.\nA distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine.

Very basically:\n\nPlessy v. Ferguson held that "separate but equal" was OK - separate train cars with similar (equal) amenities for white people and black people was OK.\n\nBrown v. Board of Education implicitly overruled this, holding that separate but equal was inherently unequal.  It also ordered that school boards begin taking action to integrate schools.

It's pretty much the same thing as "equal."

YOu can and it is the same thing.  The world is fighting for equality, not superiority. ANyone who threatens you, or judges you based on your ethnicity is a racist. I grew up in a predominately black and Samoan neighborhood, and a lot (not ALL ) of the kids were extremely racist to the white kids.  Even though we were in the same shitty town, with no money either.  If you rise above it and understand why they think the things they do, you can connect with just about anyone though.

No\n I find it ironic that you should ask this question in the worst English possible.\nNo one person is inherently superior based on race, sex, creed, color, or country of origin. You are a prime example for your own question.

I think everyone is EQUAL! If American's see that the time has changed and it is not the 1900's anymore!! STOP THE RACISM!! God created everyone equally and he would not discriminate!!

If you aren't comfortable in your own "Skin" there is very little you can do about it, however one can change their attitudes.\n\n   One way is understanding, getting a true grasp of what other races and cultures endure or enjoy. One need not be of those races or colors to share in the beliefs or situations of them.\n\n   Equality, in my opinion is a hard to define, often subjective experience. What may be equal to me, in my given situations, may offend and intrude on the beliefs of others.\n\n   I have to say it should be a word used in the context of commonality, and blanket justice for our species, no matter the race, origin, etc.\n\nRev.

If by equal rights you mean one group had a chance to be discriminated against, now the other group has that same chance, then sure.  If you mean the same rights to all people regardless of race, color or creed, then no.

All people are equal,\nyet not all are treated equal.\n\nAnd that is the difference.

I imagine equal opportunities would play a big part so prepare for anything related to that, e.g how would you ensure people you deal with are treated equally and fairly? also try and include examples in the past of when you have tried to ensure equality regardless of race, religion sex etc....

Well, they did give them equal rights and the right to vote. There are also cases of affirmative action (choosing a person for a job or college because they are of a different race; it's also called reverse racism).

If you are referring to racist whites, they believe they are more "pure" than black people. Thier definition of purity is neither uniform nor relevant.\n\nHowever, white people have much to be proud of. Virtually all of modern science and all of western philosophy and western culture comes from white people. This doesn't mean white people are superior, it just means certain people are better organized and educated, and certain people work harder. It's not always white people. However, if other so-called races would quit attacking white people all the time and blaming whitey for thier problems, they might get further in life.\n\nCase in point, your question denotes a belief that all white people are racist, which is a racist belief.\n\nMartin Luther King would tell you to judge people based upon the content of their character, not the color of thier skin, and that people besides whites believe they are superior. Especially Mister Black Power up there. And all the latinos who are a part of la Rassa ("the race"). And every person who refers to whites as honky, cracker, etc.\n\nRacism is more prevalent in non-whites these days, because of all the anti-anglo propaganda. If it were any other race being attacked, it would be considered racist. But since it is whites that are being attacked, that's ok.\n\nRacism is something all races share. But you knew that already by posing such a racist question.
