Prejudice and Racism
Prejudice is basically defined as a pre-judgement or a rigid and irrational
generalization about an entire category of people. Racism is defined as
a belief that one racial category is innately superior or inferior to another.
In my life time as an African American, I have experienced prejudice as well
as racism. ... I was raised without
prejudice. ...
Let’s just say that they brought a prejudice with them towards the neighbors
of the two blocks. There is definitely a prejudice with African Americans
against other African Americans. To my knowledge, I didn’t experience
prejudice until I became an adult. I went to inter-racial schools, where if
there was prejudice, I did not see it. ... I really can’t believe that prejudice is still going so
strong. ... I am currently a 32 year old Nursing student at Manor college and I
feel as though prejudice will surely come into play when I finally become
a nurse.
