Other than your horrid spelling ... It's difficult to eliminate prejudice because so many people learn offensive traits from parents who learned them from their own. After awhile, these ideas become so pervasive, people begin to think it's justified and eventuallly they become institutionalized. The key is education and breaking the cycle with children.

Every countrty in this world has prejudice of some sort or another. I think that America has a number of policies that are prejudicial but for the most part, we are no different than many other countries. We have a number of people that are prejudicial but so are a number of other countries. I do not believe that it is EVER POSSIBLE to eliminate prejudice from any society. It is a sin to be prejudicial in any way toward others. We are told that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD". I feel that we have some areas of this country that are better than others. I love where I live and believe that we have the opportunity to change as well as to help change others for the better.
PS- It is "PREJUDICIAL" to make fun of others. spelling is not that important. It is only a tool.
Thanks for your time...

Depends on what audience you are directing that question at....prejudice against who???
In whatever case it is, all it would take is for the "victim" of the so-called, and very possible prejudice action to shut up, build a bridge and let it make them a bigger person much stronger in character than the small minded one wasting time giving someone they don't like so much thought.
You can react either way, keep on crying, whining, and moaning about it (which I have noticed to some has huge benefits) or get over it and rise above, set your goal above the lamer dumb enough to waste time on prejudice.....move right on ahead while they are stuck on stupid.
It is no challenge to drag people down, happens every second, people do it without any thought....the real challenge is can you help bring someone up, give them some positive forward movement.
People who get off on judging others and sitting idle as opposed to lending a hand are just as useless if not more than the ones they judge.

What have you got against the prejudiced ;o)
More seriously, prejudice has value. Are you going to assume that someone pointing a gun at you has peaceful intent? It's only prejudice that make you think that they don't.
Some forms of prejudice are clearly harmful to society, but whilst there's a lot of agreement in some areas, there's a lot of disagreement in others. Should we be prejudiced against smokers, for example, by forcing them to sit in "smoking areas"?

When the supposed black leaders stop using race as the cause of every problem. Everyone has an equal opportunity, few take advantage of it.

Not as long as the media and people like yourself keep bringing it up (if I'm deciphering "prejudgest" properly).

Please remember that you are speaking about a country that felt it necessary to kill as many Indians and Mexicans as possible to found itself.
