Seeing through the crystal ball of this common trend that is so rampant in our modern society as it was back then,is as clear as spring on a sunny day.The superiority of one race as opposed to another springs forth utter hate,haughtiness and action that revolves around persecution either way verbally,physically or on the seat of ones emotions.There are indeed many forms as the below experience will so succintly show.
Jim recently moved from an Afro community to live among a people of indian decent.Now nothing prepared him for what was about to unfold.Now one day while he was at home he heard two loud explosions,upon running outside to investigate the matter he saw his son who was 10 years old at the time with bullet wounds to his chest and arms.The boy later that day succumbed to his injuries which was the sadest thought that engulfed Jims heart that day.Five hours later he received a telphone call with the message...''Thats what Africans deserve,to die like dogs.I hope you get the message now...Get out of our beeping community.''
This experience succintly demonstrates that of racial prejudice and mind you prejudice takes all forms,sometimes it comes lightly and sometimes in extreme cases.1.Might be because of a persons financial status
2.Skin colour or race
3.A persons material possessions
4.A distinguished position of authority
4.Or ones achievement in life
There are yet many more reasons for prejudice but how can one curb the increasing trend of prejudice that poisons our society as a whole.It is like trying to fish a needle from an open sea,when theres not a uniting bond,this oneness of love and unity that engulfes our societies our planet,our earth...this place we call home.
Thank you very much for reading my thoughts
