...See more Hey people! I just wanted to say, my skin color is fair white, but I want to be one of you. I believe when you say all human races are equal, then all humans are, people of color. I have a high value for humans equality, so~~ why should we call non white colored skin, people of color? To all people who aren't white: I believe we all are colorful, all the same. To all white skin colored people: you are as equal as everyone, and as much colorful as everyone. ⚪🤝🟤🤝⚫ I believe the Same for eye color too! Dark brown/black eyes are beautiful too! like blue, green, hazel or grey eye color! 🟤👐🔵👐🟢👐🟡👐⚪ Now, would you agree with me?

...See more I am mixed race/ethnicity (forgive me if I’m using the incorrect terminology; I never figured out the difference between the different words), and people of one of my races make fun of me, because I know nothing of my culture, nor the language. I am an outsider and a laughingstock. I was raised by one parent living with one culture, and my other parent didn’t follow the other race’s culture, so I never learned it. I’m not stupid or lazy or anything regarding my ancestry and heritage… I simply never learned it and wasn’t exposed to it. What little I know, I learned from books, pop culture, or friends. I don’t want to be a laughingstock anymore just for being who I am.

...See more “Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
