Prejudice can be buried deep inside and you don't even realise it's there. I have a special needs grandchild and a dear friend who is such a warm kind person asked how she is going and told me that she had seen a group of "them" out with their carers and what sweet people "they" are. My friend would have been shocked if I had questioned her wording.

...I see it as ignorance..and being judemental..comparing our lives/upbringings..relating it to people that may not `fit` into our `ideal`..
Its a case of not judging a book by its cover..Oh there are many Cliches..
Being Predudice...to me..is wearing blinkers...so not quite a veil...but still hinders ones eyesight..

I don't like the word preducice (sorry spelling).As I hope I am NOT.To me every human is just another person,I don't give 2 hoots as to where we all come from.I don't care what colour ,we are .We are peeps who hopefully embrace everyone

,

having worked with varying "groups " of people over the years,i have encountered several types of prejudice,personally i just see people.

Predujice is that something we all come in contact with from
time to time, i feel sure you the reader have.Sometimes because
your poor, perhaps because your wealthy,because your a girl
or you have a different skin colour.
Having given the matter thought i have come to the conclusion
for those who practice it, surely its like wearing a veil.
THE VIELS OF PREDUJICE
-----------------------------------------------------
The covering veils of predujice
hangs heavy oer the eyes
Blinds a man to sound advice
makes hesitant, those wise
dismisses beauty with contempt
in kindness reads alternitive
its own vile piosons does invent
with thoughts impure conservative
ridicules empathy-snorts at love
acts cold-cutting and precise
burns olive branch-devours the dove
beneath the veils of predujice.
-----------------------------------------------
It occurs to me predujice blinds the user
to the beauty found al'round and within
all nationalities of man
