Racism vs. Prejudice - Which is Worse?

So racism continues to exist today. It doesn't matter what race you are, somehow you will at least one time in your life face a form of racism. Be it a racist comment, expression, etc racism is faced by all. However, some races are more exposed to racism than others. Even Prejudice is interwined with racism. So how we end it?

Remember, making negative comments to others will always come back to haunt you. You will always pay for the harm to bring onto others. The "harm" includes not just physical but emotional. The emotional pain you bring to others through verbal abuse is the worst type of pain you can cause onto someone. That is also the worst punishment you will face through karma.

You may not believe in karma, but certainly we will always pay for what we do bad to others. This is a fact of life. So why not end racism? Before making a comment to someone else, put yourself in their shoes and try to understand how they think, what they are feeling and why they say and do what they do. Sometimes people say mean things because they are bitter and unhappy. So how can you change that? Consisntely be kind and sweet to someone. I am not saying be fake, but no  matter the situation, just be kind and diplomatic.


Diplomacy is the best and wisest tactic to use to ensure that no one gets hurt. Use a decent tone as you speak. Do not speak too loud, don't be too emotional - remain calm, cool and collected. Then get your point across, but don't say anything mean to someone that will hurt them. Racism and prejudice are very ignorant and illiterate elements that can exist and unfortunately, they continue to exist today. 

So the question arises - which is worse, racism or prejudice? Both are bad. We all know both bring severe pain and bad energy. So how can you prevent it? Be who you are but remember your morals and ethics.
