THE PASTORS PEN - Rev. Reginald Tarpley 
Civil Rights Leader, The Reverend Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. said,
“An unprejudiced mind is probably the rarest thing in the world.” Unfortunately, that is probably true. I think all human beings have prejudices of some sort. We tend to prejudge people we haven’t met because of their race, ethnicity, gender, occupation, nationality, religion, or associations. Ant it really does limit us. If we desire to grow beyond not only our circle of acquaintances but also some of the limitations created by our own thoughts, then we need to break down the walls of prejudice that exist in our minds and hearts. Frederick Douglas said, “We can get the new world we want, if we want it bad enough to abandon our prejudices, every day, everywhere. We can build this world if we practice now what we preach.” ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ RECOGNIZE YOUR PREJUDICES AND WORK TO BREAK DOWN THE INTERNAL WALLS YOU HAVE CREATED BECAUSE OF THEM.
