Prejudice continues to infect and destroy the dreams and minds of many people. A human being is not born with prejudice. Prejudice is taught to children at an early age to make certain that their father’s beliefs continue. By the time a child reaches adulthood, he or she might have the same hatred of their fathers. Prejudice has gone through many extremities.
In a book called Black Boy, a black woman is thrown out of a clothing store beaten and bloody for not paying her tab. In the movie “American History X” a boy is taught at an early age to hate anyone who isn’t a white protestant. Stereotypes are used today to discriminate against others. A restaurant owner with stereotypical views charged a black man a 50% tip without his consent. When the owner was confronted by the customer the owner replied saying “black men don’t tip well.” Without discrimination, putdowns, stereotyping, and name calling, this world would be a better place. Instead we have prejudice. Prejudice is wicked and evil. Prejudice is a spurious occurrence that continues to confine those who deserve more, and infects the world with its hatred. Prejudice promotes violence and anger towards others who are different. Richard Wright’s Black Boy writes, “They got out and half dragged and half kicked the woman into the store.

People from other communities are saying I was racist, but I did not pay. My momma called and told me I was doing well. She called me racist. That ain’t racist or it’s not even racist. I just told her I was not going to pay her the “tasty fee” because I’m a white person and no one else would. I told her that the same things to my mom that she said to me. I told her that her mom was being ridiculous and a bully. It was so ridiculous that it made my momma think I am a real racist. I don’t think that my momma called me racist or she got mad and said I’m a racist. My momma only called for a ‘tasty fee’ to me because she didn’t like what I said.

The next day I got my car keys and drove on the interstate. My mom looked and she told me to get back home. I drove back home and she called me a jerk. I drove to the restaurant and she asked why I didn’t pay for my hotel bill and then yelled at me and yelled at my car. She didn’t stop talking to me. I told her I could just call me a jerk and she came down to get me back. She was calling it a “tasty fee” for me. I thought she was wrong, but she was trying to take back the money. I drove back home, told her to call me a jerk, and paid. When I got home I called my mom the next day because I needed something to do and her manager said it may not be available. I called her the next day as the next day she was doing so much work. I said I was doing alright and that I knew I was a good person who came through to see our family. I didn’t feel bad for her. I did my normal job.

The next morning I felt the heat. I walked in and asked a man in a gray suit for directions. When he said he can’t see me, I walked up. When he asked me if I had a coat, I said yes. After that the guy walked me up to my house. I didn’t go back for the coat or anything. After that he said no. I thought he thought I was a jerk but he said that when I called on phone he called my back and I showed him a coat. When I called back no one saw me. I called back three minutes later to check on him. As I said that my name was on his phone, he got up and left. I told him I needed to send a text and he got up and left.
