We watched “42” last night. \u00a0It was interesting to see the Jackie Robinson Story. \u00a0It was weird to see the prejudice that was so prevalent in America against skin color. \u00a0 \u00a0Sadly, prejudice still abounds in the United States today. \u00a0Racial tensions haven’t gone away There is prejudice against gays. \u00a0There is a divide between the rich and the poor. There is a growing divide between those that believe in religion and those that believe in science. \u00a0Outside of the US there is a huge divide between Muslims and Jew\/Christians.<\/p>\n
Why do we all have the need to put ourselves above others. \u00a0The strangest form of intolerance is in my own life. \u00a0I like to feel I am better than those that are less tolerant because I am more tolerant. \u00a0I’m just a hypocrite.<\/p>\n
I also like to poke fun at those that believe they are superior because they know what fork to use at a formal dinner and how to bow to the queen. \u00a0I believe I am justified when I ridicule this archaic practice of feel being refined. \u00a0I am definitely being a hypocrite when I disrespect them because the don’t respect \u00a0that people\u00a0following the traditions of the English royalty.<\/p>\n
Here I am growing up in the most free society ever established and I have a long list of things I feel justified in being intolerant.<\/p>\n
Hopefully you are doing better than me.<\/p>\n
I need to work on being more tolerant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
