Prejudice: It Ain't No Unicorn

             Prejudice has existed from the dawn of time from the cro -magnons to the first humanoids. Simply  creating a few laws and having recent reform isn't going to stops eras of oppression like a band aid. It's like a cancer that if ,left unchecked, grows. Most people think it's gone, but it's not, they simply don't chose to see it or are blissfully ignorant of it. It's not some mythical notion that primitive societies believed in: it's not a unicorn. If anything it's like a lion and shark, dangerous to it's prey and destructive if ;eased upon the general population. So during the debate I thought my side, that prejudice still exists and matters, has won. I enjoyed the debate because not only am I concerned about prejudice (because I am a double minority: black and a girl) but it was a good way to get other perspectives on it and learn. I even got to get up and say something worth value this time. I also feel that mostly everyone enjoyed the debate and worked collectively and cooperatively. There was a good balance of group numbers, outspoken people were placed in different groups, and it was a good discussion topic.My group also brought up good topics and rebutted some of the other sides claims, so I though we won. P.S I was so glad to be laced on my team because if I were on the other, I wouldn't know what to do.
