Im Polina Bojovic. Black people deserve more equality. Black people are just like others but have a different color from skin because of the enviorment they live it. In general we are all the same people. This should not affect the way they live. If they get affected we should also. We are all equal

Racism is wrong, because everyone one has a skin color that is different just like our personality. Everyone is different and should be treated equally.

Because schools are important institutions that are often central to perpetuating systemic racism. It would be great to be part of an institution that is aware of that and that is actively working to address those issues.

I want to fight for lives that actually matters and I want to make sure my world my home is safe and everyone is equal no one should be made fun of or be judged cause of their color of their skin this is totally wrong and racism should have never even been a thing.

Talking about Anti- Racism is the only way to break a cycle of systemic racism.  We need to all agree that All Black Lives Matter whether you're apart of the LGBTQ community or not. The oppression of black people in our community has been going on for so long and it's so deep rooted within our communities that we have to break through. I will always do my best as a TYWLS girl to educate my peers and make sure no voice goes unheard.

It is possible to stop racism, but it needs a safe space to air out misunderstandings and a safe space for people to learn about systematic racism and microagressions that may have not been known before. It also requires an open mind and a brave community and TYWLS can provide all of that so that each and every one of us can then share what we’ve learned and discussed, in order to start tackling the issues and support the BLM movement in the community at large.

There are racist people everywhere. We, as a community need to work together to fight for black people who are being put down just because of their skin color by addressing this problem to people who are uneducated about it so that they can support as well.

Race is never a rational component to judge someone. Oftentimes people will blame Black culture a

the fact that black people are still being disrespected in 2020 disgusts me. They have gone through so much and still don't get recognized and their voices are still unheard of. "aLL lIveS mAttER", no please don't say that as a comeback to black lives matter because black people have been oppressed for decades and they are finally getting a chance to be heard and seen, but saying all lives matter is being selfish because we never said that your life didn't matter we are saying that black people need more attention because of how much they go through. BLACK LIVES MATTER AND ALWAYS WILL BE! im sorry if you go through any of this trauma because im not black and I don't have a right to say that I feel you, but I do feel so much empathy for others and im always here to talk if you need anyone.I'm not black, but I see you.
