I'm presenting a snippet of this video to my Urban Youth Ministry class tonight. Decided to share it here.
This is Dr. Suess's look on Prejudice.
The non-star sneeches just want to be treated as an equal to the star-bellied sneeches but are treated like dirt instead. A fix-it man comes to town and acts as if he has all the answers.
Eventually, all sneeches — plan or star-bellied — learn that looks, social status or anything doesn't make one better than another. The fix-it man may have left with all their money, but he gives them nothing to be prejudice about.
I think we all just make up in our heads what makes one better from another. I have learned that there is no difference between myself and someone who grew up in a harder environment that many people look down on.
Obviously the sneeches has much more to teach about, one of the reasons I LOVE Dr. Suess, but this is just what I'm focusing on. Thanks guys :)
