Everyone is a little bit prejudiced when it comes to other races. They just don't admit it. Being prejudice doesn't mean that you are racist; hell, you may not even be conscious of what you're doing.
But there are certain things that we just don't talk about. There are things that White people are afraid to say to Black people, and the other way around. It is hard to know where to draw the line between honest and offensive; between confusion and hate.
This country is operating under a false pretense right now. People are so conscientious of being politically correct and tolerant that they are hiding from the truth. Certain stereotypes and prejudices still exist. And until we can truly talk to each other openly about this, without fear of being judged, we are giving these stereotypes power.
We should not be afraid to talk to each other. Tonight I will be putting myself on the line. I will be revealing how prejudice rears its ugly head in my own life. I am not proud of this, but tonight is my chance to talk about these issues with my friends; and invite you all to chime in.
It is time for us to speak on our differences and dispel all the myths. We can't be rid of prejudice and hate if we continue pretending they don't exist.The segment starts at 6pm sharp tonight, so don't be afraid to call in and let YOUR VOICE be heard.
