“The world is filled with hate because of racism. There is a huge division in the world because of racism. If we all create a mindset to come together as one and see that there is beauty in all people—everyone would see race differently, because it wouldn’t exist.”

“How … Please … tell me how are you as a black person comfortable with saying the “N” word! How can you use the term nigger or nigga so effortlessly? That term should make your skin crawl! As a black community and as black people, we need to void the ‘N’ word. It needs to be deleted from blacks' vocabulary. If we want another race to respect us—we must start by respecting ourselves and each other first.”

“Everyone should respect each other and leave it be. However, that sounds too ideal and too simple. I am learning that when things sound too much like common sense, people would rather antagonize one other than make peace with each other. Sad but true, this is the world we live in.”

“I think everyone— blacks, whites, and all races should treat each other with respect, love, and live in a peaceful world.
