The Personal Side of Bias, Prejudice, and
Oppression
I
can recall a time when I experienced a form of prejudice even though it was in
the form of a movie. As I recall the events that occurred in the movie “Roots”
it made me feel uneasy and somewhat angry even though I was not the actual
target at that time. While watching the movies I knew that as an African
American if the people before me have not went through what they experienced in
the past then it would be even harder for me now. What happen to them as an African
American race has lessened as a result of their ridicule, humiliations, and
torment. Even though there is still some form of bias, prejudice and or oppression
around, society have to change the way they view other race or ethnic groups.
Thank you for sharing. It is a shame that your ancestors had to face such terrible times. It is sad that people of color are still discriminated based on the color of their skin. I pray that we see a time when people are looked at as equals regardless of their skin color, sexuality, age, and so on.
