Recent Race Cards

Who we were vs now

Outside I'm White. Inside I'm Hispanic

Only recently have my eyes opened

Must feel it then heal it.

We're imperiled by failure to love.

My family is not from England

No white dolls only black ones

BREAKING NEWS: Jews experience prejudice AND white privilege

Being Mexican doesn't mean I'm illegal

I thought you were white on the phone

You're Invited! You're not a minority?

Black lesbian CPA, it's really me.

I am dead to my father

No Bi-racial Couples Allowed at Prom.

Yes, I transitioned. Still white, though.

It is not always obvious; hurt

BLM protests have turned me

Weary of Pity from White People.

Categorization by appearance, fallacy then sticks

To understand privilege and uplift all

We all should be treated with Respect

I'll embrace who I am always

I am buying what you're selling.

Biker gangs have love for me

Rice is my LIFE. Deal with it.

Race is fiction. Love is real.

Would All My Ancestors Love Me?

Vietnamese is difficult, love is stronger

What nationality are you anyway?

Discovering others judgments after finding love.

Our inheritance hate, our legacy love

Race has hurt my love life

I choose to love and persevere

Something so important, but also not.

She loves me, her family can't

Who will love this black girl?

Veteran Patriot Still White Washed Wetback

Good Morning! But there's no response.

Ignoring race doesn't make it disappear

Unlearning racism is hard.

Tired of being described by others

Keep loving people without ethnicity

Black privilege is also very real.

Neither black nor white, I'm human.

Today I applied for a passport

Loving another human without judgement.

Hands out! Can't breathe! Gone forever...

We aren't all Strong Black Women

Short. Dark. Supposed statistic. Intellectual outlier.

It's complicated and messy and beautiful

We're all humans, no matter what.

Love is meant for all people

After all, we all bleed red.

Tired of dream; Where is plan!

We are all one race, human!

You come off as too articulate.

Discerning Between Media and Reality

Ethnicity Doesn't Obligate You to Educate Others

Love Comes Naturally, Racism is Learned

Black is beautiful unique and flawless

Disappointed Perceived Progress Evidently Sentiment Concealed

Appearing strong. Mending daily. Race matters.

Mississippi Freedom summer changed my life

Shonda? No interview. SK? Wow, interview!

The Truth Spoken Behind Closed Doors

Work Harder and Smarter Against Racism

Perceptions Equal Thoughts Equal Future Actions

Overtown born rapper and football player.

We have the power to change.

Who said your race is superior?

Does it matter where I'm from

I know that I don't know

Helpless, determined, learning, responsible, awareness, action

A ménage of suffering and Beauty

I Never Noticed We Were Different

Greed invented Race for economic gain.

None of us were alive then

I wouldn't ride my bike naked!

Why the wink and the gun?

Two Black Lesbian Daughters. Say What?!

Racism in my family that's hidden.

Our boys died for your kind

I am not the enemy

I got curly not nappy hair

Hate is why we cannot wait

White meets black Black meets white

I tell people I am from THE planet earth

I'm learning. Please don't be offended.

Small white girl, watching heroes march

School integration enriched my white life.
