Is it possible to send a moral message condemning racial prejudice by portraying both the positive and negative sides of both racial groups?

Yes, it definitely is, although it will be difficult. With such an approach, both racial groups will then be able to understand their own negative points and the other party's positive points. This will condemn racial prejudice. Eventually, they will be able to make peace and there will not be anymore racial prejudice.

To protray both sides, the author is required to look at different perspective and not have a biased view, which is why it is difficult. As mentioned in one of the previous blog posts, to judge a situation fairly, one must look at different perspectives of the situation. If the author was a white and he is trying to potray the positive and negative sides of the whites and the blacks, then he would naturally be biased against the blacks. However, to be be fair to the situation, he must put away any prejudice he has to give the clear moral message, condemning racial prejudice, and eventually both sides will be able to make peace.
