White Supremists In The 19th Century
Many white Christians have believed in being racially and religiously dominate since the early 1000s. Globalization has spread through European colonization, leading to the expansion of white supremacy, along with racial and religious discrimination towards Muslims, Jews, Asians, and Africans in Western societies. White people have used multiple forms of segregation including the Nuremburg law in Germany during the 1930s-1940s, the Jim Crow laws in the southern United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and Apartheid in South Africa in the mid to late 1900s. The goal of this essay is to identify the reasons for white supremist using discrimination and oppression against Jews, Asians, Muslims, and Africans during the 1000s leading …show more content…
He believed that Christians must not tolerate Jewish actions and beliefs, so Christians must burn down their schools, synagogues, houses, Talmudic writings, and prayer books, to honor Christianity and God. During the 1st and 2nd Crusades in 1095-96 and 1145-46, the Europeans attacked the Jews rather than traveling East towards the enemies of God because many of the Jews lived in Europe. The Christian Europeans believed that they needed to attack the enemies of God, and no religion was considered more hostile towards God, than the Jews. Throughout European history, Jews were continuously persecuted such as England in 1290, France in 1394, Germany in 1509, Hungary in 1526, and Genoa and Venice in 1550. Jews were blamed for causing the Black Death in the 1340s, resulting in 20,000 being murdered. In Holland, Germany, and the surrounding areas, a ‘demonically possessed dancers’ movement began and was blamed on the Jews, resulting in thousands being killed. In 1555, the Papal Decree required Jews to be segregated into designated ‘ghettos’ and were forced to wear yellow veils and badges. In the mid-1900s, Hitler believed that anti-Semitism was based on biological race instead of ethnicity or religion. His anti-Semitic beliefs were still influenced by the ancient beliefs that Jews are children of the Devil. The evil they represented is in both their soul and body. Germany …show more content…
All world webs involve competition and cooperation. People must cooperate by using communication to share ideas and beliefs. The larger a web gets, the more power, inequality and wealth there is causing competition to be the most successful person. In the late 1900s and early 2000s, globalization has spread anti-Semitism globally to the United States, France, several eastern European countries, and Germany. Many hate groups in these countries continue to support Hitler’s ideology towards Jews and are against the creation of the State of Israel. People continue to destroy Jewish cemeteries, and paint swastikas on synagogues. Another example of globalization is the English colonization of the Americas and South Africa. Until the late 1900s, white supremacy has dictated the rights and freedoms of black people causing the use of slavery and segregation of the South. The southern United States established the Jim Crow laws and South Africa established Apartheid, which are both forms of segregation. Globalization relates to racial and religious identity issues because of European colonization of Africa and the Americas. European colonization has caused the spread of racial beliefs that started in Europe such as anti-Semitism, along with racist beliefs against Islam and

    Hitler described Jews as inferior, and believed that they threatened the German race, warning Germans not to marry any. Jews were ordered to wear armbands with a yellow Star of David to indicate their religion. As the anti-Semitism grew worse, what eventually brewed from this was the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a systematic genocide by Nazi Germany aimed at eliminating the…

    Fanaticism of Pure Race in the Early 1900’s Throughout history we have seen how humans must adapt or evolve to survive. But Germans took it to far by promulgating a purification of a race and tweaking the meaning of survival into races. In the early 1900’s the German society acted to convey the purification of their race called the German Volk, where women were persuaded to stay home and reproduce beautiful German children, suppress abortion, and sterilizing people from other races.…

    In the year 313 AD, Emperor Constantine I adopted the Edict of Milan, allowing Christians to practice their faith without persecution. Although Christianity had been around for more than three hundred years by then, this was a foundational building block of the institution known as the “Church”. When we look back at the history of Europe we can see that the church played an important role in shaping social ideals such as tolerance, beliefs and morals. These concepts were shipped across the Atlantic during the colonial era and long after the American Revolution, remained fixed in the minds of the people. By comparing the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave Written by Himself and Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, we can see the injustices in which the Church displays towards coloured people in American in order to gain wealth. We also, get a sense that the churches influence over society has changed from the original revolutionary concepts of peace and love, to the totalitarian concepts of domination and control. Both men shared a vision of a pure Christianity. Both men shared the condemnation of the church’s position on equality and justice. Both men shared the feelings of societal manipulation inflicted by the church. Both men shared their talents with the world in order to cure prejudice and demand equality.…

    Discrimination in Churches in the 1960’s During the 1960s, almost every White church throughout the United States prohibited blacks, at the same time many blacks were being segregated against, churches being the worse of all being divided just because the color of skin. Churches were where somebody went to be a follower of Christ, it shows just how this segregation corrupted the minds of White people to betray one's own religion to make Blacks feel lesser. The God one worships says to love everyone no matter who they are or what they look like, but the Whites could not see past the color of skin. This is just how the discrimination was beginning to start by one being “different.”…

    The Abolitionist Movement involved both White and African American people, free or slave, male or female, famous or not famous, all of them contributed to the movement to eradicate slavery. Back in 1873, the American Anti - Slavery Society found 29 anti - slavery societies in Connecticut alone. To reach their goal of abolishing slavery, they had employed several methods including colonization schemes, legal or political actions, expressing slavery as a sin and “Moral Suasion” (Appealing to the ethic principles of the public to convince them that slavery was bad and wrong).

    In order to continue a prejudice, the group being prejudiced against must be designated as an “other,” a group that is different than the majority and poses a threat to the foundations of society, whether rational or not. The following are reasons that made the Jewish people an “other” and allowed the continuation of anti-Semitism for the centuries after medieval Europe. One reason for the continuation of anti-Semitism is the anxiety that plagued medieval Christians. These people were dealing with the incoming Monguls and Terks and the plague, which was killed at least one-third of the European population during its reign of terror. There was a need for a scapegoat, a group of people to place the blame of the crisis that were taking place, and that scapegoat was the Jews. New ideas came about that the Jews were poisoning the wells, magicians, and trying to kill the Christians. In The Devil and The Jews: The Medieval Conception of the Jew and Its Relation to Modern Anti-Semitism, Joshua Trachtenberg states on page 57, “But…

    As a little girl, I remember my father, whose primarily Northern European and minorly Cherokee heritage marked him as other, telling me that the old Swiss men, the cultural norm of the small California town where he was raised, would not even nod to him until after he had returned from active military duty overseas. That cultural pattern saw its origin in the late 19th century where “ethnic identities proved to be a part of ... (white European foreign immigrants) self-identity and affected the way that they related to others.” The data presented in the reading reflects a rise in the white population and a corresponding drop in all non-white groups over the time period from 1860-1900.

    At this time in history, Christians persecuted Jews in Europe and blamed them for bad luck and even bad weather.”(Middle Ages - Medieval Resources 2011). This forced the Jews to live in the suburbs of the town, in places called ghettos. Also the Jews weren't allowed to work in government. This isolation gave them a bit of time because the plague hadn't reached them yet. The people wondered why the Jews were not getting sick and automatically assumed that they were poisoning their wells as payback for their isolation. The Jew were thought to be scapegoats and irrational. However once the plague caught up with the Jews, and the Jews started to get sick from the plague as well, people began to calm…

    Abolitionism had gained many followers in the revolutionary period, but the movement fell behind during the early 1800s. However, in the 1830s, the support of abolitionism increased greatly, specifically in the Northeast. Supporters such as William Lloyd Garrison who launched an abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, earning a reputation as “the most radical white abolitionist”. Before this time past abolitionists suggested blacks be sent back to Africa by boats, Garrison partnered with other willing black abolitionists, which includes Fredrick Douglass. They demanded equal civil rights for African-Americans. To spread the awareness, in 1832 he founded the New England Anti-Slavery Society and the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. By 1840,…

    Jews were automatically a target for the blame, always being unfairly accused. The reason why Europeans accused just the jews was because they believed they wanted to destroy christianity even though the plague affected anybody not just christians. These jews were viciously persecuted to the point that they actually began to lie and confessed that they had been poisoning the drinkable water and food sources. When the jews falsely made their confessions they weren’t as badly killed they were just punished. “Benedictow (The Greatest Catastrophe…

    Alongside religious cause, Europeans blamed other people. By ‘other’ I mean someone who was different or foreign for their society. During ‘the Black Death’ period the Jews were considered as others, like outcasts of society. They were accused that they poisoned water sources, therefore they were subject to persecution, massacres. Mathias of Neuenberg and Alfonso de Cordoba shares a common idea that confirms Dols arguments saying that the Jews are responsible for poisoned water and food (Mathias of Neuenberg, “Chronilce”, p. 151; Alfonso de Cordoba, “Letter and Regimen concerning the Pestilence, p. 46). According to Alfonso de Cordoba, the Black Death was not resulted “from some constellation [of the planets] nor as a consequence of any natural…

    Globalization in my point of you, as it appears these days, is the invasion of the western culture of the other cultures and the kill of the others entities for a unique dominance of the single and surely the powerful culture. This is maybe a rude definition but let's just call things by their names. This could reveal my point of view about the subject, but my paper is about bad effects of globalization on poor countries. The evolution to a world always more globalize uniform is not a new idea, colonialism and imperialism had tried by their conception to force colonized countries to adopt their lifestyle and culture, affirming that the western culture is the best. In the 19th century, theoreticians and experts didn't affirm that openly, but social promotion in these times…
