What Prejudice Means to Me

In the society that we live in now, prejudice seems outdated and faraway. In reality, this is not the case. Some people still judge others before really getting to know them based on a disability they may have or even their physical appearance. For instance, a person could be judged on the color of their skin. Though all variations of skin color are widely accepted nowadays, there are still people who do not share this acceptance. All degrees of this are wrong and show how awful it is to think this way.
When my mother was in high school, she loved to run. There was a track team at her school, but only boys were on it. Shortly before this problem came up, a law called Title IX was passed that stated "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…." When she demanded that she be put on the team, the track coach could not deny her of the privilege. Because my mother was the only female on the team, the coach forgot to let her into the showers or include her in meetings sometimes, but she hung on. The next year, her school hired a track coach for the girl’s team (she happened to be the male coach’s wife), and many more girls joined the team. This is the story of one women’s perseverance.
“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
This quote from Martin Luther King Jr. is not only truly inspiring but also downright true. If our world were built off of the bases of love and brotherhood, there would not be the awful prejudice that some people are subject to.
