Prejudice is Madness:
Anger is a source of
hate that includes prejudice. We can see anger by looking back at
the white men that evaded the camps of the American Indians. The men
rushed through the camps, starting fires, shooting people at random,
and causing a commotion that interrupted an entire village. We can
also see anger when we review what the white man did to the African-Americans.
The men used these human beings as sex toys, objects, laborers, and
so on. We can see in two examples that greed and envy played a large
part in the actions committed against the people, and that anger was
a root of the behaviors. We can also see that greed played a large
part since power and control was the focus. Greed came into focus
of the anger illustrated when we see that the enemy wanted something
that did not belong to them. They started with envy, greed and then
enforced their anger to take what they wanted, or force the group
of people to do what they wanted them to do. We can see that money
played a large part in this action also, which links to greed and
envy the underlying sources of anger. Therefore, the root started
with money, then envy, greed, which lead to anger outbursts against
another group of individuals. The cause was noted as prejudice, which
is a form of hate, and this instigated the ultimate actions taking
against these groups of people. At this time, they had trading posts
and bartering systems where many people trading one product for another
of equal value. The persons would trade for land, fur, food and so
forth. There was not point in the incidents that took place in this
time, since in reality no one owns the land but God who in turn gave
it to all of us. If someone believed they owned the land, then trading
should have been negotiated for a part of the land, rather than brutally
murder, which was a reaction of anger. Likewise, the slaves were sent
across the oceans and sold to the American people by their own race.
This too was because of money, greed, and envy. Prejudice may have
been involved since the source that sold the slaves probably viewed
the people as less superior. We can see that anger is in the picture,
simply because the roots and history are there to prove this. However,
it may not have been uncontrolled anger to the degree a person can
express anger. It did however cause anger down through the centuries
as people began fighting for their equal rights. Starting with the
Civil War we can see that these behaviors of others caused a much
more severe eruption of anger in a group of people and it was all
because of prejudice. First, and foremost if God is not prejudice
who gave these people the right to judge. The issue can be dealt with
by relating to the prejudice itself. If a person is prejudice, it
is often due to lack of understanding. When someone is different,
it often poses a threat to others, simply because they do not understand.
This causes anger to build, since most people when threatened become
angry. Now we can look at these examples as a whole and see that anger
affects everyone. We see that anger started with one person or group
of people and continued throughout the history. Obviously then, anger
is an epidemic that all of us are influenced by, or has experienced.
Therefore, if you are prejudice you should sit down and review the
history, and think about what prejudice really means. If you are this
angry with a group of people, it is simply because you lack understanding.
Ignorance then is another source that leads to angry outbursts. Prejudice
is not only ignorant; it is stupid if you are not willing to learn.
Our history has shown us that anger is tolerable in the system, yet
it is something we do not want to tolerate. We can see that the system
allowed anger in the, yet is now regretting their tolerance. We can
see this as the system is struggling to undo what has already been
done. Reasoning with the emotions to control anger makes all the difference
in the world to a stressed mind.
