Race prejudice. Martin Luther King Jr. was correct when he said, "Race prejudice is based on groundless fears, suspicions and misunderstandings." I believe racism begins in the home. If a child isn't raised to be racist but turns out to be racist, it is more than likely the influence of friends whose parents are racist.

How can racism be erased? By educating these ignorant parents so they can see that we all are created equal and that racism is wrong. When this is accomplished then these parents will educate their children and this will prevent racism from relapsing in the future.

Please don't teach your children or yourself to be racist against others. Remember these wise words from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, "We are one, after all, you and I; together we suffer, together we exist, and forever we will recreate each other."
