“What I want to tell people is that we’re really all one race. We’re the human race, you know what I mean? It’s not about the color of our skin. Some people are good, some people are bad, but honestly everyone has the potential to be good, you just gotta give them that chance. We’re all the same. I just hope that we can get closer to a loving community. Like I said, we’re all one race. Just help each other out. I just want to see us co-exist together." -David

“Don’t ignore it. Don’t tell Black people how to feel about racism, because you don’t experience it like we do. Some white people think just because they are not racist and because their friends are not racist, it means that no one is racist. And that is not true. Some Black people experience racism, others don’t. You might not be racist, but other people are racist. You cannot invalidate someone’s experience because it doesn’t really apply to you." -Dorothy

“My hope is that everyone realizes that it really does not matter what skin tone you are. We’re all the same. It shouldn’t matter that my skin tone is a little bit darker than hers, or lighter than hers. It doesn’t matter. We’re all people here. Race doesn’t need to be a factor in this.” ​-Genusis

“I love races. I love the melting pot of everything, because it gives me the option of learning so much from other people, not just what I know or what I grew up with. It gives me the chance of knowing someone and why they’re  who they are and embracing that without being racist or mean. I just have this natural desire to learn, and it always makes me happy to learn about other people’s beliefs and cultures and race." -Mandy
