    I grew up in a very segreated south and I've had to "grow out of it". I am aware I see color, but I truly try to look at the heart of the person. In an effort to finish clearing my heart and mind of racism I am focusing on the fact that each person I meet is a brother or sister to me made by he same creator who made me. šŸ’•

    Do you hear that woman talking about intelligence? She might be one of them
  • The old lady actually said ā€œSome of them are smart I guessā€. That was a very racist statement and she obviously didnā€™t even know it was.
  • Don't talk to people about racism because they will avoid it or deny it yet their behavior will tell the truth
  • I have that white phone voice. SO before I show up to interviews 99.9 % of the time the employers assume I am white unitl I show up. And they always look at me as though " Oh your Rodney Hubbard?" LOL!
  • People give desired answers in front of the camera. Even the greatest racist will answer that racism is wrong (but meanwhile find themselves superior)
  • @lordblazer
    dude barely scratches the surface of the topic and is exhausted by it lmao
  • Here the media setup that other races are not racists in a multicultural country, only White people are racists.

    I am brown and when a person tells me, "I don't see color" I am done talking, I am done explaining.

    Ibram X. Kendi is a race perpetuator, who makes a living off of it.

    I canā€™t wait till the day humans will stop being soo wickedly tribal. The day where all humans can look at another human regardless of that individualā€™s differences and just say, ā€œcome here, Iā€™ll help you. We are all in this together.ā€ Canā€™t wait. Till then, let us continue waiting.
  • I believe a racist is someone not only who discriminates against skin color but cultural beliefs and peoples different demographics and ways of life
  • Funny how they didnā€™t ask that one guy any more questions lol .. he was too real for TV
  • @mint5438
    Racism against anyone is still racism, wether you're white, black, Hispanic, or anything else. I'm very shocked that people don't understand that.

    I have been discriminated the most in my entire life by a Walgreens "Pharmacist" glorified cashier. I even changed pharmacy to Publix. Oh BTW, he was a black young man that always treated me like garbage.
  • White woman says ā€œHave to grow out the racism youā€™ve been taught!ā€ Yep, sht starts at HOMEā€¦
  • @dubo2057
    I think black people are the nicest people in the world. But somehow I still get treated like I am a racist.
