You want to know what conjures up hatred?
Racism.
I don't need murder tacked on to it to see it as hatred.
Any racist group can be compared to each other. Would it made a differance to you if I compared them to The Black Panthers or the NAACP?
The fact is that they are a racist group, just like the KKK. Theres your comparison and to say one is better then the other is ignorant.

Way to go man, way to go.
There is a huge difference between the NAACP and the KKK. would you compare them?
The Black Panthers would be a far better comparison for La Raza than the KKK. Unfortunately, there is sympathy for the BP, which is why they chose KKK to compare them to, because there is virtually no sympathy for the KKK.
Get it yet?
Saying all groups are the same is downright foolish.

Why not compare the two? Any group that is for a certain race is racist. You have said just as much. NAACP, KKK, La Raza, Black Panther and any other group that focuses on one race are the same.
Racism is racism. One is not any better then the other.

Ugh, I can see this is beyond you, so I will make one final attempt, and leave it at that.
Grouping them all together, you are saying the NAACP is the same as the KKK, is the same as the American Indian Heritage Foundation, is the same as the Black Panthers, is the same as the United Negro College Fund.
Do you really consider a group that helps hildren get educated the same as a group that will string you up because of the color of your skin?
If so, you are lost, friend.

I think you are the one not getting the point.
Any group that is for helping one race is racist. I don't care if they are for helping black children, Native American children, White children, Yellow children or Brown children.
A group that is for one race of people is racist. Therefor they are equal.

I get what you are saying, the problem is, it is untrue.
Racism is the disparaging of another creed, or race. Being FOR a race is not racism. Being AGAINST a race IS racism.

You are referring to Racial Discrimination.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups.
