why can't we love one another......

One of stories that I read in class was about racial profiling and how someone look a certain way so they thought that he was going to steal form the convenient store. When the young man walk into the store the store clerk look at him made and gave him this look he was up to something. The young man knew that he was getting a look so when it was time for him to make the purchase he jokes with cashier to make him feel comfortable. So once he left the store he began to walk down the street to a nice neighborhood when a neighbor called the police because he looks like he wasn’t supposed to be in the area. This book really stuck out to me more than the other stories because this is something that we are facing as a society. It seems like a community we still judge people because of the way they look or talk, but once you get to know the person the way you feel about them changes. As a child I was always never judge a book by its cover. To me reading this book I took it a different way because I feel like now of days we judge and look down on people base on what they look like; you may never know what they are going through at that moment. We see people now as if they have on designer clothes they are rich or if they have no so nice clothes they are rich. Sometimes in the world we use different things to cover up what’s really in the inside. In life we sometimes never see the person for what they are but for what they look like.  When we go places we often turn our noses up at things that don’t look appealing to use without really knowing the truth behind things. As far as in the book when the young man that walk into the convenient store and the store clerk  thought that he was going to steal something based on what he look like, he never thought of what he could be going through that made him look like that. I was never to be the person to judge before I got to know they because you never know there story. The big name for this would be stereotyping.  I think we should become more familiar with these terms and realize how they affect people in their everyday life.
