Recent Race Cards

A ménage of suffering and Beauty

I Never Noticed We Were Different

Greed invented Race for economic gain.

None of us were alive then

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.

Crenchaw climbs Denali realizes King's dream

Misreading slavery due to modern morals.

Spanish is not my first language!

Raising Romindian boys: Sure, Smart, Kind!

Mom, why do they hate us?

Being white is more than privilege.

How 'bout we all dig deeper?

No, where are you really from?

I am tired of it all.

Be Present, Be Here, Be ME

The foundation of EVERYTHING in America.

A delusion based on an illusion.

I am a privileged person of color.

I am tired of talking race

I love to talk about race

White people have many cultures.

Racism is not a harmless joke

How to protect my black son?

Divisiveness planted to keep us distracted

He's not your son? Oh good!

When we hyphenate, we become separate

Multi does not equal NO race.

Bless Black Skin and Blue Uniforms

They glare at my bi-racial son.

My family members are not terrorists.

Representation: We need to see ourselves.

Every day it impacts my core.

I'm Latinx But Can't Speak Spanish

Reawakened to considering Whiteness more closely.

White passing privilege, biracial and proud

I eat frogs but ain't one.

My parents judge, I do not

With great privilege comes great responsibility.

Black boys once cost fifty dollars

Privilege of being disabled, poor, white

Don't reduce me to a banana.

Braiding red bones and white blood.

I'm not going to pick one.

Native American and Aztec with curls?

I Shouldn't Get Benefits For Whiteness

I’m here, you don’t see me

Don't worry honey, he'll brown up.

Suicide: Native voices must be heard.

Stop asking to touch his hair

You're pretty for a black girl.

Well How Black Am I Really?

You' are actually a good driver.

I don't know my Native language.

Workers are divided, owners are happy.

1963 Respectful, Uneducated, Dependant, Poor, Grateful, Happy

Take your opportunities and go far

So white, you would never guess.

Don't judge kids by their creators.

When Skin Color Fades Away

Good hair is well maintained hair.

Who knew Hispanics could be Native?

Brown sugar mix bitter white waters

Concerning. Scary. Exciting. Hi, I'm Elaine.

Neither shaken nor stirred but mixed

We seek evidence affirming our beliefs.

Blinded grandfather gave granddaughter excellent vision

My Not So White Life

Happy Birthday, you missed teen pregnancy.

Heroic face seldom seen in media

Citizenship is fact - race is fiction.

Need a fork. Can't use chopsticks.

Acceptable, only after identified as Hawaiian

Always hold your head up high

Bicultural and Bilingual should be enough.

We all Bleed the Color Red

Black and Beautiful with Breathtaking Strength

Passing off white, hearing the truth

People of color--do I count?

I don't fit in your box.

This doesn't make you a better person.

So yes, I'm white, I've struggled.
