Another American Tragedy Zernon S Evans

Sometimes we let skin color supersede our love for God, who made us all. Koppelman (2014) says, "No, credible studies have concluded that prejudice is part of human nature, an innate outcome of being human. In fact, Hauser (2000) cited a study reporting that during their first hours of life, babies will cry if they hear other babies crying. One development psychologist, Harry Bridges, explained this phenomenon as a rudimentary form of empathy. The evidence supports the claim that prejudice, as Bridges suggest, must be learned. It is also important to remember that prejudice is an attitude, not an action."Koppelman, K. L. (2014). Understanding Human Differences Multicultural Education for a Diverse America.
