even those of us who've worked very hard <br />at not being prejudiced, have some type of <br />prejudice remaining. for example: <br />it could be prejudice by color, over religion, <br />over political views, concerning sexual orient- <br />ation.... prejudice against those who have money, <br />or those who dont! ...etc. <br />all prejudice is wrong by nature, most of it grounded <br />in the 'self'... in our own irrational fears, and our <br />stubborn streak of ignorance.... <br />it's always taught, but doesnt have to be allowed! <br />it ofen hides under the banner of morality, or the <br />flags of patriotism... <br />we battle prejudice by being open minded, being <br />willing to listen, and learning to see ourselves <br />in other people... <br />if we say we have no prejudices, we have lost, <br />and prejudice has us bound. <br />if we admit our prejudices, name them, look at <br />them with naked eyes and resolve, then we're making <br />headway.... <br />prejudice in the end is humanity failing to be human! <br />being human is a 24 hour a day,7 days a week job!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-do-we-deal-with-prejudice/
