I am so ready for us to heal as a nation. And I don't think we're going to be able to do that until White people own up.

see mostly beautiful things. I live in a small town that is mostly White people. They have community events in the park where it's mostly White people. If I were to join them I know I'd get strange looks.

Bi-Racial children have their own struggles that they have to deal with. There's a lot more White people in the South. Racism still prevails.

Minnesota and I used to hold the belief that since we were in the North that there was less racism up here. But I was wrong. My best friends would say that typical racist bullshit and justifying how it's OK to use the N word. I used to let it slide but I'm not going to anymore. Tim Junior

grew up, who were supposed to guide me into a respectable adult. But all I ever heard was 'White is Right.' I go to school and I hear racism all the time. It seems to me I'm the only one who isn't laughing. And, that breaks my heart. People should stand up against racism. Rylee Lanay Richards‎

up around all Black people. I rarely saw any one of White or Caucasian decent. Until I moved to Tennessee. I was surrounded by White people. I said "Mother, I've never seen these many White people in my life." My Mother said "They're not going to hurt you. They're human, just like you." Mic Wise

only in the South. It's all over the place it's everywhere. I'm from Wisconsin. Traci Onsgard

distract us. This White society that we live in took out our fathers and grandfathers. That crippled us. So we have a lot of ground to gain. I'm calling out my people, too. Cannon Too'Effin Wavey

racial strife. Interestingly enough a lot of White people don't even realize it There is such a split in our City, it's actually one of the most unequal cities and places in the Country. So when one group is going to be poorer than the next can you guess which group it's going to be? My money's on the Black people. White Supremacy also does that to Brown people. The only way to dismantle it is for us to stop taking everything for granted. Challenge yourself. Debra Goodman in the Park

was when my grandfather and I were driving to McDonalds. I was just a little kid. He cursed a Black person crossing the road. The next time was when my Dad said 'Niggers don't pay rent." His whole Christian stance went. I totally couldn't be a (Christian) believer then cuz I could see how my Dad would act one way, and then he said that! My Mom loved everybody.She let her Black friend drive her Camero. Her Dad took her keys and said 'No Nigger is going to drive one of ou cars. Eartheart Walker‎

marching down the street I remember when we drove through threw town we always had to duck down under the seats. My White grandma would have us play hide and seek on the farm in the cornstalks. So she could shield us from the KKK. We never got to get out of the car until we arrived safely on the farm. Niche Williams

I've been trying to get into meaningful dialogue with my people -- whites. But whites are good at deflecting it.

To me that means no matter what. I’ve benefited throughout my life because of White privilege my whole life. And I take responsibility for my ignorance because I hadn’t bothered for a long time look into this stuff. I make a pledge right now that I’m not going to stand still. I’m going to raise my voice when injustice is done to my brothers and sisters of color. I hope a whole lot of my brethren of the fair skin color can follow suit, man up and take responsibility. Donny Bouch

called Nigger. My third grade teacher looked me in the eye and said "Well Its not nice for these kids to say that to you, Carrie. But you are a Nigger." I was mortified. I was heartbroken. Lets continue to work together and continue to make this happen. Carrie Laura-Lee Howe‎

I was born into a White body. And, have benefited all my life from White privilege. I've learned to see that everything I've been taught about race its usually the exact opposite. I would encourage everybody as a practice when you have a gut reaction about race to turn that on its head. Abe Lateiner

racist America. I never stop worrying about him, especially where we live which is a predominantly White area. I have been holding a lot of grief and anger which I hope this group can help me grow out of. I hope to see more videos to help us all heal. Dominique McCormick‎

single and I have three kids I raise by myself. I can give you the the experience of what its like to be underprivileged, undesired, unfavored. It might not be your experience, but this is my life, this is what I deal with. I'm from Detroit, MI. We went through bankruptcy. Greedy politicians. We were already poverty stricken but it's worse. I want to show you my neighborhood. Women get raped in these buildings, they're burned, sometimes there are bodies. I worry about my kids.LaTosha McCauley

in Germany I learned how wonderful this world can be to a man of color. Only to come home and feel like the lowest form of life on earth. It hit me like a ton of bricks. But I will not allow this to make me hate. I get angry, I feel lonely. I walk on eggshells all the time. Keep the movement going. It's the only thing that will work. I finally found something that I can heal with and help with. J'evon Covington

So m******rs take the path of least resistance. The media makes this a black problem. Even though its a white problem. Anyone who speaks out for white people--they get rewarded. Anyone who speaks against whites they get punished. It doesn't matter what the race is. It's simple math. Elijah Hamilton

I felt superior when I first moved here in the 80s but in the end I was basically ignorant. Marsha Mtz Vela

and I am a product of the mixed culture of slavery, oppression, because I'm not pure as a person. Any person who is looking at me in any inhumane could be my brother and we don't even know it. A lot of kids in their twenties, we use this N word and we think we've created a new meaning for it because we don't say with the -er at the end or we say it with an 'a' at the end. Robert Dabossman Keels

when people of color are speaking about their experiences of racism in Minnesota. We're all going to learn from this. I know what happened in the past.

and heart. I was inspired by Jon Stewarts unserious monologue on racism. The reality is that racism is ignorant. We have to fight the mainstream media or any institution or structure that encourages that fear.

It's no secret that privilege is what decides what kind of opportunities that you get. It's the English speaking white culture that is dominant.

Get over your hatred. Join us for racial healing. There are a lot of people who don't want to see us come together in love, they don't want to see the positive about joining hand and hand as brother and sister.

This movement is what it's about. Everybody that posted, especially my White brothers and sisters, that expressed their concern: I definitely feel it deep down. It's a testament to how when you take out politics and you put in your heart and feeling and don't focus on the dollar, but you focus on the people. You all keep em coming. You all got some honesty to live up to? We have some ourselves. The beauty of this is we can all do it together. Maurice C. Simmons‎

I grew up up North. Went to school at Syracuse. I saw it in my frat. There's a lot of ignorance by choice. Sean Patrick Coon

not a post-racial America, we need to distinguish. We're the human race. We are all ingrained with the White Supremacist system.

You might ask yourself what can I possibly know about racism? I'm white, I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood.

aren't. I want to take responsibility for that. Where I lived there was literally a river between where whites and blacks live.

Which is why white people don't like to talk about white privilege. People of color don't have that choice, they are perceived as older and more threatening. These are things that are built into the associations we have with what it means to be black in our society.

racism stop. We used to learn about civic duty. We have a civic challenge now, too. We have a lot more power than we think we do. We have to sit at the table and get things done that the few people in power aren't getting done. We need to have a dialogue! Miguel Weissman

I wondered how black people can be mad at me - I'm one of the good ones. I learned more about why. People who have said we're in a post-racist country are wrong. That's not true. I go to a church where all different kinds of people attend. Through them I realized I have a completely different experience than they do. I have more privilege because I'm White.

And a number of you won't like it. Some of you will. That's ok, it all comes with speaking your truth. White supremacy is real. Pass it on. Gloria Roheim McRae

Action. You say "Man somebody ought to so something about this. I hate this. What's wrong with our country?" Well, whats wrong is that (we’re not) taking action. But (we) just have to step up and say ‘enough.’ So get out there, post your video. If you need some help, find someone to help you.” Like getting exercise to lose weight, we need to take action to lose White Supremacy. Donny Boucher

when I grew up. I'm in Pennsylvania. Racism up here isn't as open as down South. Growing up I remember using the N word when I was a kid. I thought I was being funny. I didn't realise how hurtful that word was. Cris Caldwell

I almost can't believe this redneck's shit is real. I need to check my self on my real shit. Margaret Roberts

Let me break it down for you. There is not equal opportunity in this Country. It's not the child's choice that he is born in a poor area.

But I still don't get a pass. I've spent my whole life being told by education, by media and the country that my people are smarter, more attractive, less threatening, harder working. I've been told a lie. Cathy Thompson-England

long time before she understood racism. My sister and brothers all had different fathers. Nobody questions that. But if my mom were Black they absolutely would. Caitlin Rahmer

in college is something I've been thinking of. I was thinking I didn't have many experiences that related. And then, slowly but surely I realized I had lots of stories. I'd just been so strongly encourage by the dominant culture to think of those stories as non-stories. I think this is reflective of the biggest challenges for white people in America regards racism in this country. White people get lots and lots of message that say "this is not your problem." Shelley in NJ

In my Spanish class one day, this Black girl got upset and got up and left the classroom. I went to a predominately White school. So of course everyone was laughing. Someone asked why she left. And this other girl answered: "Because she's a Nigger." I was so upset I was shaking. I couldn't believe my ears. Torrey

Out. All you undercover white racists need to get with the program and help the rest of the country. Ami Propagator

saying "I thought I saw. I think something happened?" I was driving through Oklahoma. I knew when the lights came on something was going to happen. He tells me he has to cite me for speeding. That's fine. By the time this incident was over I ended up in handcuffs. I was very polite. But somehow that opened the door to him feeling like he could go further. Andre Guthrie

I get in arguments with my black friends because I don't really believe in racism. I don't want to believe it's real. But it is real. Racism is here. And, it's disgusting. I vow to do what I can to change it. Melissa Bouchard

As as young lad My greagrandfater was the caucasion Jew, he llooked streight white. He was my favorite person in the world. We used to watch Country music shows, and he used to tell me to never get a dark skinned girl with nappy headed girl. So that made me kind of favor whites more. My perception changed when I experienced racism in school. Angelo Gianni

My first taste of racism came when I was a little boy about 8 years old. We lived in an all White nieghborhood. One day a Black family moved in. A week later. I couldn't believe my eyes. I read about, I'd seen it on TV, my parents told me about it when they grew up in the South. Here's a 10 foot cross burning in this families front yard. The family is standing in the street I never heard my father say the F word. But that day he said "Those fucking racists." Mike O'Brien

"I've been called a white girl and I've been called a monkey, which I am not either." Hey here is my thoughts and i hope u all understand these are all my own opnions nobody has to listen u can always click out

tendencies. When its put into words, it kind of resonates with you and you realize maybe we're not as far along as we think we are. Because it's been so deeply indoctrinated in institutions and our culture. It comes through. Major Castleberry

my brothers and sisters could hurl at each other was the N word, worse if 'Black' was added to it. I was raised to be racist. Everything I was taught was wrong, absolutely wrong. Anna Rae Bamberg Gilder

Cory Holtz‎

I'm not even Black. I'm Native American. That's the sad part. Regardless of the color of my skin I have the biggest heart of anyone I know. Haley Monay

Its crazy the older white people and even some younger White person comes in the door I'll say "Hello!" And they'll hear me, but they won't even look at me and they just pretend like I'm not there. But if one of my White coworkers says "Hello!" They'll be like very friendly. Whittney Ballard‎

I've learned that hate breeds hate and love breeds love. I saw a Black girl and said: "Look at that little pretty little chocolate baby." My Mama said "Hush!" That little girl's mama came over and hugged my Mama and said "I understand." I look back at that and think those were just two moms taking care of their babies, no different. I've been catching hell all day about the racism discussion from family and friends just an FYI.... we have plenty of hate and bullshit in the world Keisha Riddle

We lived in South Central LA. But my mom never gave me identifiers like 'that guy looks dangerous.' Harryette McCrary

But I still don't get a pass. I've spent my whole life being told by education, by media and the country that my people are smarter, more attractive, less threatening, harder working. I've been told a lie. Cathy Thompson-England

I support my man Dixon D. White, number one, and number two I invite you to join me an make a video, too. in order to end what he calls racism and I'd call human relations no matter what the color of your skin. I'd love to see it!

and Union armies during the Civil War. i"m proud of my Southern Heritage. The Confederate flag isn't even the real Confederate flag. It's the Battle Flag of Virginia.

in Haiti. The whole family was killed. And, it would argue rightfully so. The Master was poisoned. There was one family member left. He was left wandering the streets. As the legend of our family goes, he was found by a family slave. Instead of being killed by the slave, he was saved by the slave. Because of that story, I feel I owe a dept to pacifism and also to racial equality and justice. Asa Abraham Gregory

The world we're living in is a really racist world. It whitewashed. People need to understand that everybody needs somebody whether you're white, black, hispanic. Steven
