As the show “Black Jesus” came on T.V, I immediately went to watch the show because I am a very religious guy, and if there is a show about religion I will go watch the show. When I watched the show it gave me bad perceptions into believing drinking alcohol until you can’t think straight is ok because I saw the show were the actor of Jesus was doing it on T.V, so I thought it was ok. Since I thought it was ok; I started drinking at home till my mind cannot think straight, but then realized quickly not to fall into temptations I see on T.V. On the show “Friends” it showed a group of only white cast being best friends, so it made think “maybe it’s ok to just have one group of people only being one race as my friends.” Since the show influenced me into believing that only having a group of friends that is one race and language is ok; I started to have only one group of friends being one race and language for a long period of time. The show “Friends” made me think falsely on life, but gladly after time past I started creating a group of friends with different races and languages. Since the show “South Park” stated that gingers are disgusting people; I started to believe that gingers are disgusting people for a period of time. Because I take what I watch on T.V to seriously; I started to look down on gingers and not be friends with them at all. Every time I would see a ginger person I would get disgusted, and not want to look at them because I started to think they are bad disgusting people with no moral to live. I understand now that I should not look down upon someone because of the way they look, and should treat them the way that I would want to be treated. Personally, I wouldn’t want anyone to look down upon me just because of the way I looked for it will cause me to have self-doubts and depression.
