   Do you believe that people of different backgrounds deserve love, respect, and consideration?
   
   Do you believe that even if someone looks differently or speaks differently than you that they deserve love, respect, and consideration?

   Yes, absolutely. Every single human being on earth is worthy of love and respect and the right to happiness.

   Yes, we all belong to the human "race" and species. No two humans are exactly alike (other than identical siblings).
   We each occupy a spot in the world. Why shouldn't we deserve love, respect, and consideration?

      Even identical siblings aren't exactly alike. Personality etc are different.

      I meant to say as far as their outward appearance. The way people look on the outside is usually where bigots go horribly wrong on their judgements of different looking people. We need to go deeper before we judge people.

   A loud and strident, YES of course, so long as that person is not threatening you in a serious way.

   If that includes people with disabilities I will say yes.  Everyone has a story, everyone is valuable. I was afraid of disabled people when I was young, and the smell of old people made me gag. But my Campfire Girls leader and parents kept taking me to visit these people groups.  They need touch and love like anyone.   Something amazing can be found in everyone.  The fact a baby is ever born alive is statistically impossible and yet healthy babies are born every day. You beat the odds if you are alive, which makes you and everyone else a miracle.

   It sounds simple but I think you are going for the more complicated.  Criminal background - love and be wise.  Poverty - love and teach them to fish.  Disability - love and provide whatever assistance or referrals necessary to make their lives better.  Abused/abusive - love and provide wise counsel if asked.  Don't show love by letting a molester babysit your kids.  Violent people - love but don't be student.  Know your limits and make sure professionals are included.
   
   Love, respect, consider and use discernment.

      Thanks Express!  I meant to say don't be "stupid."  I was on my way to teach a class and had "student" on the brain.

   Yes, people that are of different backgrounds deserve love, respect, and consideration because people are people, they have a role in this world, you just don't know what it is.
   What would you do if someone treated you differently because of skin color? You would get angry, right? Then you would probably fight with that person and it just creates a cycle of violence, then it repeats over and over again.
   So, be the person that holds the power to be able to stop meaningless fights that could escalate and harm other people in the vicinity.
