Political Prejudice http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/inquirer/20140923_Political_party_prejudice_on_upswing_in_U_S_.html

My first reaction after reading this article is ashamed. I feel ashamed because society is so quick to judge people, with so little knowledge of what that person brings to table. It's a disgrace that human beings put other humans down just for an improved self esteem. In relation to this article, Republicans and Democrats often feud over how the United States should be ran but over the years, its not fighting over the direction of the U.S., its the way of life. Politics over the years have been blown out of proportion and the views of politics aren't always on political relations, it's on internal relations as well. In other words, Republicans and Democrats are now worried about the future of their family because they fear their child would grow interested in the competition and marry the person from the opposite political party.

     I also didn't like the part of the article that compared whites against African Americans. The author stated that, "Many white people quickly associate joy with the upper left corner when it says white and good - but have a harder time associating joy with the left corner when the words there are black and good. So too, many white people quickly associate terrible with the left corner when it says black and bad, but go a lot more slowly when the left corner says white and bad." (Sunstein 1). The author views the same for Republicans. When Republicans marry other republicans, their social status is safe for a sense, because they are sticking to the norm and not standing out. Same goes for a Democrat. When a Democrat marries a democrat, they are ok but as soon as a democrat marries a republican, it is automatically deemed. Acording to a survey taken in 2010, 49 percent of  Republicans and 33 percent of Democrats say they would feel "displeased"
