Berniece: "Enter response here."

Boy Willie: ¨The American Dream is just a lie, Black man will never have the same right as a white man.¨

Lymon: "The American dream belongs to all. This dream ain't just belong to the white folk, ain't just the wealthy, rich, and more fortunate, ain't just us Americans. This American dream is for any living being who has a dream."

# data[].attributes.body
Lymon:" The American dream is whatever you make of it. You get out of life whatever you put into it."

Boy Willie: " Livin' should be done on your own terms not anyone else. Black folks already have it hard out here. We don't need to be sentimental about it. "

# data[].attributes.body
Boy willie: "The american dream is just a lie that people say to keep us workin' . We cant have anything because of the white man."

# data[].attributes.body
Boy Willie: The American dream should belong to everyone one, even us black folks. Although that may never happen because they make it hard for us to even think about that dream.

# data[].attributes.body
Boy Willie: "Yes everyone should live the american dream. But us black folks have to buy land and get money before we think of this dream. "

# data[].attributes.body
Bernice: "The idea of livin' the American dream sounds nice when you say it but how far are you gonna go to get it? All this killing and thieving ain't gettin' us no where we should just live the best we can and stop causing all this trouble."

Berniece: “I done told y’all, that American dream ain’t for us black folks.”

# data[].attributes.body
Berniece: It’s funny how she says that “The American dream belongs to all of us “ but in reality America only belongs to the white folks. We have no part in the dream we always casted aside as a piece a trash not good enough to the white men. Never have and never will be enough for them.

Berniece: "Y'all love to talk about all this American dream nonsense, but in reality the American dream belongs to the white man and only the white man. He created it so it's his dream and we're just living in it."

Doaker: Even though that full American dream may not actually be available to us black people- we can take some of what we are offered and turn it into our own dream. As long as the dream keeps me going in how I want to live.

# data[].attributes.body
Boy Willie: My dream is way different from an average American, all I really want is some land and money

# data[].attributes.body
Doaker: "yes, I agree 100% but the american dream isn't really the american dream. Black people have been looked down on for years. The american dream should be people from different cultural backgrounds coming together as one.

# data[].attributes.body
Berniece: Now I do believe everything she stand for, but I don't think people that look like us gon have our due that easily. We gon have to work for it. we've been workin, and I don't think we gon stop.

# data[].attributes.body
Boy Willie: Well if the American dream is for all of us why do we get treated less than of the white folks?

# data[].attributes.body
Boy willie: "The american dream is just a lie that people say to keep us working. We cant have anything because of the white man."

# data[].attributes.body
Boy Willie: "Sure the American Dream is for everyone. They make it much harder for us black folks tho. We need to buy land so we can finally live. Black folks just want to stay at the bottom of society, we don't think"

# data[].attributes.body
Berniece: "yeah she right. everybody can live the dream, but it's gon be harder for us black folks."

# data[].attributes.body
Boy Willie: ´That's a lie us black folks barely have a dream because the white folks took it from us. The way they worked us we probably lived their dream for them¨

# data[].attributes.body
Berniece: "She got the right idea but it ain't never been that easy. I know I ain't living no "American Dream". This a white mans world made for the white man, they don't care about us black folk."

# data[].attributes.body
Berniece: " She has a point, but it aint for everyone. Some of us still struggling out here trying to support for our family. I aint living no American dream. I lost my husband and its just me rasin my daughter with the help of some of my family. So there aint no American dream for me. I work my butt off and still struggling today. Them white folks dont know the struggle. Us black folks have to work for what we get."

# data[].attributes.body
Doaker: True to the fullest extent. Black people need to be able to live that dream, but I also believe that it shouldn't just be available to us here in America, but around the world as well. Just because they not in America don't mean they shouldn't get to live the American dream.
