Yes, i agree that prejudice is a disease we can never get rid of. What exactly is prejudice? Prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. Therefore, someone can have prejudice on someone through the first impression they have of him. It will continue for a very long time and possibly, forever.
This can be seen from the issue between the Black and the White. The prejudice of the Black from the White persisted for centuries from the time that the Black was slaves for the White. This prejudice has always been there as the way of thinking has been passed down the generations. For example, the word 'nigger' is used on the Black by the White since young when they do not even know the meaning behind the word. This word is been used so frequently around them that they do not know that it is a very offensive word and think that it is alright for them to use. It thus can be seen that prejudice has been passed around just like a contagious and incurable disease as it is difficult to stop the mentality of certain issue to be passed on to the young as the surrounding affects the way he will think when he grow up. Children also get influence very easily. Therefore, it is true that prejudice is a disease we can never get rid of.

Good command in english. A fluent writer. You have given a good and relevant example to justify your stand.
Areas of improvement:
You may state more examples. It is a generalization if you justify your stand based on only one issue. You may give more reasons to support your stand.
