If you are neutral and are put into a position go see people as they actually are, you might become prejudiced. But is prejudiced the right word since that calls to mind an unwarranted bias?
Perhaps trained is a more descriptive word?
In any event, this is an interesting article.

Prejudice means to pre-judge it's that simple, nothing more nothing less.
We pre judge people/things all the time. For me my latest one is when I see someone driving erratically I assume they're posting on facebook. I used to think they're on the phone but I've changed my tune lately. There's ethnic prejudices, ever tell a Jewish, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Chinese ect joke? How about a redneck or a dumb blond joke? How about sexist prejudice? Ever tell a man or woman joke? There's religious prejudice too. Somehow today's sick society has boiled all this down to only one thing, racism and it only exists white against black and most follow this with glee. However if your smart enough to think for yourself and not follow the sheeple to the slaughter it's not rocket science to figure out. But the media and the governments love to keep the people fighting against each other.
'After all, the entire white power and neo-Nazi movement is based on blaming someone else for your problems.'
Another thing they have in common with BLM and the antifa, I guess.
One wonders if the writers and editors of the Huffington Post have even attempted to understand of what is going on in our country today.

They may attempt it, Don. But they have no clue. I have been attempting an online discussion with a guy who has a company that does media analysis, and he swears there is no bias...because the evaluation algorithms he and his people have designed show no bias.
Trying to explain to him that his own bias has colored his efforts has no effect.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I note that there is no entrance exam to journalism school. And it seems anyone can pass.
I believe they are education major washouts.

Quite possibly. It is noteworthy that while I was studying calculus, physics, statics, and dynamics in my dorm, the education majors were cutting out pictures from magazines and putting together collages.

Really? One might stop to consider: hey, if these smart and experienced folks think this way, maybe due to my ignorance I ought to consider their view instead of condemning it. But that thought never occurs to folks like that idiot newser.

Journalism ceased and desisted years ago.

Highlighted in red really stood out in the article. I too noticed and is typical of DEMOCRAT party literature.
What I highlighted illustrates the problem with these people. They live in their own microcosm. Sheltered by masses of people like them and they all think alike.
When they meet someone with opposing opinions they literally "freak out" and when you try to explain your logic they turn their nose up, speak back in a condescending manner and start the name calling.
But my real point is these do not want to understand. You are either one of them or you are garbage.

You are dead on. The left has decided that if you don't agree with them, you are automatically a racist moron. That is about as deep as their thought pattern goes.
Look at what passes for a professor these days:

Assistant Professor of Human-Centered Computing Bart Knijnenburg wrote in a recent Facebook post.quote:?You should come live in the south for a while. It's exhausting,? Knijnenburg replied. ?The republican ideology of ?everyone is equal and nobody deserves a handout? is naive at best, covertly racist at worst. I truly believe that turning a blind eye makes you complicit in what is happening now.?

Could it be that perhaps they are still holding to the oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same"?
Perhaps instead of labeling them as white supremacists, they are merely ensuring that another group can exercise their 1A rights without being attacked by opposing groups.
I have to personally say that the "author" of this article has missed the mark by a large margin in regards to the veterans providing security

I was on the phone this morning expressing this. The news last night kept referring to all those who were demonstrating against the takedown of the statue in Charlottesville as white supremests. I finally got through to the news director, and what a friggin joke he was.
I called his boss in Alabama, but he was out on vacation. Nothing will happen, but if enough people speak up, maybe they will get a clue. Sent off a bunch of letters too.
Folks may call me Prejudicial, but I know that it is simply Me, informed by My past experiences.
