After depositing money in the bank, I stuck my hand into my pocket with the intent of checking the amount of money that I had left in my wallet. At that moment, I saw a couple of black teenaged boys. I stopped. Embarrassed, I tried to play it off by keeping my hand in my pocket. As I walked by, I thought, "Fuck, I'm prejudice!" What did I think they were going to do, rob me? Of course they weren't.
The thing to do now is to work harder to deprogram myself from the stereotypes that have seeped into my unconsciousness. This is my pledge. Hopefully, being conscious of this event is a start.
