Reverse racism

SarahPa: /* Examples */ the youtube video has been up since June 27th, the Obama quote is from Aug 1st/late July

'''Reverse Racism''' is the the unique and deliberate focus on race, an attempt to discredit others for racism while claiming to be race neutral. Most users of this term are unapologetic about racial bias, refer to groups, whether guilty or innocent, as oppressors that need to be exposed. It is subtle in its use, deceiving and discriminating. Reverse racism is considered hate speech and affects all races and religious groups whether black or white, [[Christian]] or [[Jew]].

==2008 Presidential elections==
The race for President is not without the injection of racism charges. The first African-American [[Democrat Obama]] running against a white [[Republican McCain]]. McCain is an honorable person as proven by his 28 years of elected office and his dedication to this country during a time of war. This has not stopped his opponents from trying to associate him with racism by means of reverse racism.

Wolf

2008-10-15T18:07:27Z

SarahPa:

{{Taxonomy|image = 480px-Canis lupus laying.jpg|kingdom = Animalia|phylum = Chordata|subphylum = Vertebrata|class = Mammalia|order = Carnivora|suborder = Caniformia |family = Canidae|genus = Canis|species = lupus|}}
'''Wolves''' are dog-like animals classified as canids, which belong in the genus canis, along with coyotes. There are several subspecies of wolf, including domestic dogs, dingoes, and the mexican wolf. They usually hunt in packs. As a sign of submissiveness, a wolf will expose his neck to another wolf, who (instead of taking advantage of this vulnerability) will assume a dominant role toward him.

Attempts were made in the 1930s and thereafter to eliminate these animals as pests, in the United States, particularly in [[Yellowstone National Park]]. Currently, [[Alaska]] is the only state that endorses mass killings of wolves, by offering $250 per carcass. Under the current governor, [[Sarah Palin]], it is now legal to snipe wolves from low flying airplanes. The Canadian government also made plans to exterminate wolves (see [[Farley Mowat]]). Thankfully, this effort was unsuccesful as wolves still survive in both countries.

The last wolf in [[England]] was bagged on the fringes of Hounslow Heath, Middlesex, in 1756.

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is the ancestor of the domestic [[dog]]. Since even in the evolutionary view this is considered to have occurred in a relatively short time frame (as "little" as 15,000 years ago) this is one area where the views of [[YEC|Young earth creationists]] and evolutionists generally overlap.

Wolves mate for life.

== Perceptions of Wolves ==

Wolves are thought by many to be dangerous. However, the only cases of a wolf attacking a human are cases where the wolf was either infected with rabies or desperate. The truth is that wolves are very careful to stay away from humans.

== Wolves in the Bible ==

Wolves are mentioned several times in the [[Bible]], where they are typically used as examplars of savagery. When Jesus sends out the [[Apostles]], he says,
<blockquote>
''Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.'' [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 10:16 ([[KJV]])
</blockquote>
and Isaiah prophesies the New Earth,
<blockquote>
''The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.'' [[Isaiah (Biblical book)|Isaiah]] 65:25 (KJV)
</blockquote>
