Racism and Prejudice
In my eight grade at Earl warren, I witnessed numerous amounts of prejudice and racism. Not saying names about certain specific people but this said designated person is a female. I've known this girl since about the 2nd or 3rd grade so I know about her school life well enough to be able to tell this story. To my knowledge, I feel she grew up, at school, with a pleasant life as a young girl. She wasn't really known to be one of the prettiest girls, but I guess she could be considered a little sweet heart. As the years progressed, we already hit the fourth grade at Skyline Elementary School. School started off as a new-sprung and fresh start for her little life. Even though there was more to come in her new days, there was probably more that she would encounter that she would've ever expected. It kills me to still think about this, but older people in the 6th grade had already been introduced to smoking and drinking. This once pleasant girl had a rendezvous with her new coming future. As known to this day adolescent minds should not come to face with such horrors. She started to hang out with the older more mature kids a mature kids, how had better experience with the subject, which had caused
When I think of this it astonishes me. Or this could be just because she is really prejudiced and racist, or it could have been problems at home. He got in a fight with another kid, who was Caucasian) and since the African American gut was raging on him so much and talking bad things to him he called him "ni**er". She stopped dressing the way she had before for a reason UN apparent to she and myself just came to be one of the most popular girls in our school. So the girls, some of my friends and I would go play our own game. I don't know if it came out of racism or just a reaction, but it was horrific reaction that happened in return of that. But what I don't get, is why after her elementary school years of prejudicism toward her and hatred and commenting behind her back. Seriously I really thought of that thought to be an appalling opinion coming from no reason once so ever. The guys at our school were very serious about playing basketball and if someone looked like they were not good enough to be able to play well in a good game they would not let that person participate. I think that she has gone through a bad life of prejudges and hate towards her and she back fired on it by using it as a scapegoat to blame all of her problems and past problems on this certain race. That year I was in her 8th grade English with her, designated in the seat right across from her. her young, innocent mind to be penetrated beyond its boundaries to a new step in her life. I don't know how she got this prejudice feeling toward this race of people, but she had a thing against Asians. From undergoing her personal aspect I learned a surplus of knowledge of how she felt about different races of people. While, the months and years proceeded by in a normal fashion her way of life confronted a huge U-turn.
