When I approach a large rotweiler unknown to me who is unchained, do I have the right to be scared?
When I see group of mangy teenager with their pants hanging halfway down their a**es, oversize coats, and staring at me like I have horns growing out the top of my head and they don't like it, do I have the right to not like them?
Some people diserved to be prejudged because their behavior, past and present, has been disigned to make you prejudge.
Humans prejudge as a mechanism to save time and possibly lives. I agree some people are lazy and prejudge based soley on skin color, but I also believe some diserve it and that should be the focus of discussion.
Prejudice, the word, is overused to the point of inflammatory. Without prejudice, there would be far fewer of us.
