I believe with all my little heart, that all lives matter! I see everywhere racism ended, But I still see danger and worry in people and how they act. I would like to explain my reason for my thoughts about racism.
Kids at my school are are fighting over racism. Can you magne kids losing their education over something that has ended. Even kids getting bullied about their color. Some parents teach their children to be this way or be more”cocky” is (cooler). I do not see a reason to teach your kid how to be racist . Everyone should be treated the same. Yes i said everyone.

    The generation I am growing up in, is full of a lot of issues but what bothers me the most is the fact that we are never told the full truth. I’m grow up where it’s wrong for an officer to do his job, or defend him or herself so they can see their family at the end of the day. The news broadcasters almost never give us the 100% full truth. They give us want people want to see for ratings. All that does is fuel the fire in debates leading to the people bringing up even more unnecessary actions.…

    I’ve always seen myself as a realist. I try to plainly say things as I see them with as little bias as possible. Alongside that I have also given my best effort to try and see things from other perspectives. There is always another way to look at life and all of its bits and pieces and I love challenging myself to do so. Frankly however, it is far from easy.…

    Experience: When I realized where my seat was I was a little angry. I was sitting in the front row (row A). When Mark Kendall (The Magic Negro first) appeared on stage, he was very warming and welcoming. This made me feel at ease and not so upset about being in the very front. His scenes were very clever.…

    First and foremost I am not racist, far from it, as you will clearly and unambiguously understand shortly. One of my best friends in Elementary School was a boy named Kanod. At the age of eight I did not see Kanod as any different from myself. We both faced ridicule each and every day and were both different, on the outside at least. You see Kanod was Black…

    Back in middle school I didn’t know what “Being Black” meant. I didn’t know someone could be an ethnicity. I didn’t know there was a such thing as standing up for who you were and what your ethnicity was. I guess in a way I didn’t really know who I was. It’s funny in middle and high school when you don’t know who you are or where you come from or what you do.…

    While it is uncomfortable to acknowledge that some of us have an unearned advantage in life thanks to things that we have no control over; such as gender, race, skin color, sexual orientation, accent and even wealth, it is important to discuss to better ourselves. As much as we, as individuals can continue to acknowledge and recognize our privilege it is practically impossible to discard or refrain from benefiting from the advantageous perks of the privileges. 0However, as we are able to see this invisible advantage many deny we can use our privilege to help and speak out and against the societal constructs. Lucky for me I have American, middle-class, straight and most of the time, white privilege. When I have a conversation with someone, with…

    “Don’t worry Erik, we’ll always have each other,” I would tell my brother as we ate lunch by ourselves under the playscape of the elementary school playground. Growing up as the only two Hispanic children in the small town of Arco, Idaho, I found out very quickly that other children could be the cruelest and most judgmental individuals when it came to the subject of race. Comments like “Why are you here?” and “No one here likes you! ” seemed to summarize my entire existence.…

    It was a cloudy and humid morning and I was on my way to school with nothing but all black clothes. The commute was very slow and I was growing impatient stuck in traffic for so long. My heart pounded and I broke into a sweat thinking about what was waiting for me at school. As I walked through the rush of people returning to and from work I was completely indulged in the madness of it all. Everyone seems to be trapped in their own little world.…

    Another tragic memory that pumped some sense into my head about racial identity and ethnic disparities; was when my elder brother was arrested on the basis of being black. My brother was wrongfully arrested because a Caucasian officer expressed that he saw him rob someone. Upon arrival at the scene trying to understand what happened, that officer expressed in his words that “ nigger you know you robbed that store”. I couldn’t believe that this was happening to me because, I have always heard about situations like this. The officer made more remarks such as, “you niggers are always stealing”, “you niggers will always be shit”, and you are going to pay for this crime even if you did not do it.…

    When I assert “I am white” it means that I have never had to question who I am as a person based on my race. I have never had to question the way I was treated just based upon the color of my skin. This calls to the social construction of race. I hardly ever have to question my race because I am white. Those of other races often fight internal battles where they question, “Is the reason I was just treated this way attributed to my race?”…

    The Houston runway was quickly disappearing beneath me, the plane ascending, leaving my stomach dismantled on the tarmac. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was truly on a plane, by myself, headed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. My mother laughed at the thought of me living abroad; consistently making it known my ideas were childish, financially unstable and unattainable. With a slight grin pulling at my lips, I close my eyes and begin to wonder what the world will look like on the other side of that airplane door.…

    Being a white, heterosexual, female means I am privileged to do many things some people are not but also some things that can be frowned upon if I did them. Being a female already puts me below a male. Being a white female I can go anywhere I want and not have people watch what I am doing. I can walk into a store have the sales associate say hello to me and continue on with her day. I can also carry around bigger bills and not have anybody think anything less of me besides that I work my but off for that money.…

    I never really thought too much about racism when growing up. Maybe that is due to my upbringing. I was raised in a small diverse country town where, for the most part, everyone got along. Not to say that there was no racism; it just was not seen very often. Some would call me lucky to have been so naïve in my microcosm.…
