It's global, not a racial pandemic.

I can see it in your face.

I'M SO OVER THIS BLACK THING

Stop feeding your own stereotypical identity!

My children don’t look like me.

Completely Out Of Apologies And Patience

I’m Chinese, I’m not a virus!

I'm A Sister, Not A Savior

Don't come near me, or else.

You're you. I'm me. We're beautiful!

Race Is Not Who You Are!

Shy and quiet? Must be rude

Variety is the Spice of Life

Not as white as I appear.

I don't know my Native language.

Miss Jessie Burton is my hero

My Family Well Kept Secret Revealed

To us, there was no boundary to love.

You came, you smiled, we loved

Yes i'm from Deerfield, and yes I love country music.

I'm not a privileged white person.

Instinct brings Hate, Empathy brings Love

I'm brown but, I'm not hispanic.

African American woman who loves people.

Love and learn from one another

Love. Race shouldn't matter. Hope

I am me, not my parents.

Born Wright, I'm a bridge builder

You really aren't a real Mexican.

I'm different from what you assumed.

You are stronger than you think

Not every white (person) has white privilege

I am a United States Citizen

Don't turn your back to it

The skin I'm in is resilient

White, Veteran, Nurse, Single, Funny, Scooterist.

The size of your eyes doesn't matter.

Max incarceration is still affecting colored people.

Dark But Light And Its Right

The skin I'm in is resilient.

Every Life Matters, Every Single One

I Am Shattered Pieces Scattered Black

White and some kind of Asian

Turning away costs us almost everything

Standards of Beauty

White Martial Artist, who's not White.

Thank You Seretse and Ruth Khama

Everyone is unique, embrace your difference

Men I love aren't safe here

Restore Hope; Peace, Love, Unity, Respect

Somewhere between Salsa and Country!

America's hooded winter must yield spring

White mother afraid for her children

Look like them, Sing like us

I love white partner and son

I'll experience this, hopefully they don't.

Adopted at birth; family history unknown.

Ask him yourself if he's black

I want to hear your song!

White Bones Ache For Black Moves

Did you grow up wearing shoes?

Black clients funded our white flight.

We assumed their father was black!

Change is uncomfortable but desperately needed

Equality is not better for everyone

White, Lds, conservative, republican, Anti politicaly corect

Everyone is more beautiful on the inside

We Aren't Here to Take Your Jobs

Equality starts with you, spread kindness

Everyone's unique in their own way

You have to actively fight racism

We could do so much more.

Life's boring if everybody's the same

Looks Do not Define Intelligence

Be a voice for those silenced

Same Kind Of Different As Me

I am not ----- for a black girl

I'm Jewish in a Baptist town.

I am black people

Connection is what brings us together

Be Stronger Than Your Strongest Excuse

When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left

The Inside is what is important!

Continuing struggle of mind and soul

I'm not anyone else, I'm myself
