"My education in what it means to be black in America came from growing up black in America." I just don't see this as what it means. I can understand why education means so much to an African American, but I just don't feel like that's it.

"I learned what my place was as an African American by how I was viewed and treated by others–when black kids at school told me I sounded white, or the time I was stopped by the police with my Nerf bow and arrow, I began to understand that I was expected to fit into a certain categorization." I can relate with his experience because i grew up black in a white town, before i even opened my mouth people had already put me in to a box just based off the fact that i was black, when i moved the black kids said i "acted white" and the white kids would never admit it but they liked hanging out with me because they saw me as a non-threatening black person, both of these categories were expectations for my behavior

¨I am less scared of the person who calls me the n-word  than the person who is thinking it near me¨i say this all the time, that id rather a person be upfront with their racism instead of trying to mask it for my sake as if im the exception. if im in your presence i want to feel safe knowing you are who you present yourself as.

"I am less scared of the person who calls me the n-word  than the person who is thinking it near me." I agree with this line because it would be better to know someone thoughts about you so you can be prepared for their actions

"Big part of why I made Get Out was I felt like the way we talk about race as a culture is broken. We haven’t even agreed on the definition of the word racist. Anybody in this country, whether they carry tiki torches or whether they are just a cog in the system —if you call them a racist, it’s the worst insult you can use."
this shows he wants to try and do something to make everyone realize how bad racisim is actually getting

My education in what it means to be black in America came from growing up black in America. - The experience he had in America as a black kid is what taught him what it means to be black especially in America.

"I am less scared of the person who calls me the n-word  than the person who is thinking it near me." I feel like it is more dangerous if a person isn't vocal about their racism because then nobody would know who to be away from or protect themselves from, like Peele said in his interview.

"On standardized tests, unsure which race he belonged to, he’d check off “other.” -  I am white & black, and I can relate to this feeling epically on test that other isn't an option. I never know which one to chose and I feel like I'm denying a part of myself by choosing.

At most times it seemed he was singled out as an individual

"I think everybody, even white liberals — especially white liberals — appreciate exposing the dark side of what we think is the most politically correct type of white person..." i chose this line because  I've seen and heard the same white liberals try to get us (minorities specifically) to like them by saying things that they think we also like, it's kind of backhanded in a sense. like "I've been pulled over too," or the one where they say they loved obama as president...like girllll we don't care, instead of verbally trying to prove yourself and show your support how about you PHYSICALLY do it.
