Sadly -- there is an expression that I heard in the ORIGINAL South Pacific Musical !.!. that pretty much sums up why Prejudice/Racism exists !.!.!.
"You have to be CAREFULLY TAUGHT" !.!.!.!.
From the time they are born -- you learn!. You hear your parents, your siblings, those around you family, friends, etc!. THEY all say this in front of the young child !.!. and it is no wonder that the child picks up this PREJUDICE and HATE !.!. because it is all they know!.
Then !.!. when able to make a choice -- to TRY to reach out to others, they DO NOT -- they were already taught to FEAR, to look with suspicion, to HATE!.
It is the LACK of trying !.!. the LACK of willingness to REACH OUT and treat each person as a WORTHY Human being that passes along that Racism/Hate!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
