Racism vs. Prejudice

Prejudice is to be human. Every one of us judges others on first contact. Usually through the filter of our own life experiences. Racism is a deep seeded superiority complex based purely on race. It usually requires joining a racism club and buying silly looking costumes. IE: KKK/Neo Nazis, Black Panthers/Nation of islam, Mecha/La Raza, etc,etc,etc.

Redneck like me #1:Steve crossed the "Racism vs. Prejudice" line the other day!

Redneck like me #2: Wad the dumbfuck do?

Redneck like me #1: He went and joined the KKK. What's he so proud of? His shitty trailer, or the fact that he married his first cousin?

Redneck like me #2: I dunno man, niggers irritate me too, but I'm not wearing that stupid looking bullshit!

Political prejudice

A type of social bias where an individual develops an intolerance for certain people based on their political ideology and or political identity. This often starts by an individual thinking the political identity and or ideology they have is superior to the others. It tends to be quite prevalent in the U.S. government these days, which helps to facilitate large amounts of bipartisan bickering over whether or not to respond to it and how to respond. As a result, it often impedes their ability to effectively mobilize on various issues. In society, it causes people to commit various types of crimes and disrespect people who hold different views then they do.

Brian does not like Yasmine because she is a supporter of the Libertarian party and he presumes that Republicans have a superior ideology compared to theirs, even though he does not frequently examine their political ideology to see how it has changed over the years. He has a political prejudice.
