Comments on a Facebook post. The original post is not shown. The first comment, which 6 people liked, reads, "Everyone has prejudice. It's normal. Every single person on the planet. It is a conditioned response to your environment." The OP replies, "that doesn't make it ok." The commenter responds, "you are mistaking prejudice with racism. They are not the same.Prejudice is earned. It's learned. Life experience plays a big role. Racism is just treating or hating someone for racial reasons. Big differences. Yes racism is wrong." Four people liked that comment. The OP then says, "prejudice is an umbrella term and I'mnot only talking aboutracism, which is why I used it."

A continuation of the same comment chain described in the previous image. Part of the OP's last comment is visible at the top. The final comment from the commenter says, "sorry you are wrong. Sad."

I'm sorry I didn't use different colors when I marked the names out. These comments are between the same two people. It was in a neighborhood group discussing a recent neighborhood-wide survey.

Nobody ever liked the OP's comments by the way, so I guess the whole area agrees with these enlightening definitions of racism and prejudice.

As @[email protected] always says, OP delivers! Both comments are from the person smarter than all of us.

Two Facebook comments from a person confidently incorrect in defining prejudice and racism. The first comment reads, "I doubt you have read a dictionary in years." The second comment is simply a screenshot of the dictionary entry for "prejudice."
