PREJUDICE!
What's
That?
Well, son... prejudice is an infection of an attitude that tears away at the hearts and minds of men who want respect for themselves but are not willing to give it to others. They have the idea that because of the color of their skin, religion or national origin ... they have more rights than others do. Many people who are prejudiced won't admit it. They say they believe in Brotherhood, but don't act that way in dealing with people. For you I pray ... that you will learn about Brotherhood first, so that the infections of prejudice will not be able to claim you. I pray that you may grow up in a world free of petty hatreds, discrimination, bigotry and prejudice. That your world will be one of love and understanding among all people everywhere.
