Emotional Abuse Quotes

“I Am More Than My Race: It used to be ‘check a box’ because you cannot pick both. Mix people are treated as if they are contagious or a deadly host. Now, when a box is presented, it says ‘other’ why do I have to be an ‘other?’ What does that mean? Other. Am I an ‘other’ because I am part of my father and part of my mother?”

“People are quick to place judgment based on limited information about someone. They do not look past or beyond race. That is the major cause and division in our society today. People do not want to change. They are comfortable with how everything is.”

“The sad thing is there is no way out because racism is in the minds of people. I wonder what life would be like if people didn’t see color? Perfect. Too good to be true. A fairy tale, and a happy ending. It would be a kind, loving, and perfect world.”

“I wasn’t born in the 1800s or 1900s. I was born in the 2000s; therefore, I can’t change anything regarding the past. However, we all can do something now. We, our generation, can make a difference. We can be the change. We can dare to think differently. We can break down the racial barriers.”

“America deserves to heal. For our great nation to heal, the truth must be told, and we all should effortlessly come together. America needs deep healing and cleansing. We owe it to ourselves and our nation to speak the truth about our roots. That is the only way to heal completely.”

“It is pathetic how people attach value to race. Some people say race is real and that race doesn’t matter. The fact is, race shouldn’t exist—it is not real. It is made up, but race does matter. Race shouldn’t matter, but it does. In society's eyes, race is stubbornly real.”

“Nothing has changed. Many say there is a new system that was born in America. Nah, it is not new. The system never died. It is more of a shady renovation, if you will. It reminds me of a reality TV show; however, it has been renewed with over 400 new seasons. It is now what I call the new Jim Crow.”
