Introduction- "Today, the true work of addressing white privilege at the classroom level our minimal and lack sustainability." Chapter 1- "My perception of the world would find its grooves most saliently along the contours or my body type, my racial identity and my gender. Most black parents of young girls in America are forced to have the 'you're Black-and-woman-and-you-have-two-strikes-against-you' talk." Chapter 2- there is no higher hierarchy. just every racial group at the table on equal standing. however the table is always overladen with the European feast."]]> 2020-09-23 15:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/772488057 truehenv01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/772513754 Natalia, Jenna, Kaela, Matt (Group 1) "Many of us leave homes where the most toxic, unbalanced relationships fester as they intersect with our personal metal health issues, childhood trauma, triggers, and systemic oppression and then enter into our classrooms confused about why we cannot find balance in any aspect of our work.

I believe this quotes digs deep in addressing the real issues that are happening in our world and that racism is still a major issue. As a society, we should never forget the past and the horrific things white people did to those of color. As a community we need to still work on the past and make sure it is changed in our world today and to stand up for the things we strongly believe in. The preface before this quotes discusses how there is no hierarchy anymore, we faced that time in history and thankfully it will never happened again but, there are still aspects that occur today. Our media is so saturated with with white middle class values and is shown to people of all races, ethnicity, etc. I strongly agree that our world needs to be equal where everyone is fed the same food but, the issue of white privilege needs to be taken accountability for as well. I chose this quote to challenge myself, I want to live everyday grateful for my life and understand that there is such a thing as white privilege. Some days I don't appreciate the little things and I need to change that. In school I was shown the movie "The hate U give" and it has been one of the most influential movies I have ever watched. It taught me to be grateful when it comes to police stops and treatment in general. "The hate u give" opens everyones eyes to the racial inequality that still occurs to this day. It provides us with a social analysis of racism and hate in this world and makes you recognize yourself and others in a full complexity. I believe that everyone deserves the same food, same treatment, and live together as a community, nobody is better than anyone else. "The hate u give" leaves everyone questioning the society we live in and I strongly believe this quote does as well.]]> 2020-09-24 01:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/774298664 pawarsmr01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/778178128 Madison Pawarski: A quote that resonates with is is the quote "My perception of the world would find its grooves most saliently along the contours of my body type, my racial identity, and my gender." I chose this quote because even today so many people are judged based on their appearance. It is crazy to think that, that's how the world works. I've always loved the quote "don't judge a book by its cover". A lot of people seem to say this quote over and over again but a lot of people also still judge the book by its cover. Along with assuming someone by their appearance racism it still a HUGE thing today. We all need to do a part so things like this can come to an end, things can really change if we put in time and effort but nobody wants to do that. As we grow older it is a crucial thing that we need to work on especially if we want the present and future generations to accept others.  ]]> 2020-09-25 02:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/778178128 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/779319301 Jessica Andol: One quote that resonates with me is "After you can think of this struggle very clearly, close your eyes, and visualize yourself on the other side of that struggle." I chose this quote because it tells you to always keep a positive mind set. Also, it tells you that if you're struggling right now, not to give up because there will always be an end to that struggle. Especially right now with covid everyone is getting tested with this big struggle. However, if we all just do our part and visualize us on the other side, we can hopefully make it stop. I love this quote because on my bad days I always try and get through it as best as I can, and then I think to myself tomorrow is a new day/new start. In response to Jenna Zamrok: A quote that resonated with me was "Many of us leave homes where the most toxic, unbalanced relationships fester as they intersect with our personal mental health issues, childhood trauma, triggers, and systematic oppression and then enter into our classrooms confused about why we cannot find balance in any aspect of our work". I love this quote and I loved how it resonates with Jenna. To me this quote means the same thing. That no one should judge people because no one nows what's going on in their life and how hard their life could be. ]]> 2020-09-25 14:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/779319301 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/779915110 Jenna Zamrok: A quote that resonated with me was "Many of us leave homes where the most toxic, unbalanced relationships fester as they intersect with our personal mental health issues, childhood trauma, triggers, and systemtic oppression and then enter into our classrooms confused about why we cannot find balance in any aspect of our work" (Lyiscott, 14). This quote resonated with me because no one truly knows what's going on behind closed doors. Everyone's life is different and we shouldn't be judging the way people go about their lives. The quote "don't judge a book by its cover" goes perfectly with this. Everyone handles things differently and we should respect that. ]]> 2020-09-25 16:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/779915110 harrinpj02 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/780434240 PJ Harrington- One quote that resonated with me was from Chapter 1 "My perception of the world would find its grooves most saliently along the contours or my body type, my racial identity and my gender. Most black parents of young girls in America are forced to have the 'you're-Black-and-woman-and-you-have-two-strikes-against-you' talk." Stereotypes rule over the society, we let them control our opinions, our minds, our actions. The size of your clothes, the color of your eyes, the length of your hair, the color of your skin should not be the defining factor of who you are to society. Why are we still judging everyone that just walks by, when we know absolutely nothing about them. We form our opinions on people within a matter of a second. These “defining” characteristics will also put targets on the backs of certain people. Black parents shouldn’t have to have talks with their young child about the reality of today’s society. It is a completely unfair system, that only the people can terminate. Put your egotistical opinions away and get to know the person beyond that.

This quote resonates with me because there is no reason for someone to be trapped in someone else's narrative. The idea of being powerless against one's self, in my opinion, is one of the most terrifying situations to be in. White privilege has allowed me to not feel this way in society but it angers me that some people are automatically subjected to this behavior. Instead, parents and teachers need to teach at such a young age that just because somebody looks different that you, does not mean they are any less capable and deserve the oppression they are subjected to.  ]]> 2020-09-25 19:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/780590432 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/780605292 Gracie Cognion- Responding to Jenna Eszak: I definitely agree with your explanation of your quote that racism is still in society and is a major issue. And their are definitely still aspects of hierarchy today, even though most do not think so. I liked that you also brought up the effects of social media and how big of an issue that has on racism in the modern world. ]]> 2020-09-25 19:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/780605292 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/782843787 Jenna Eszak : In my response to Jenna Zamrok: "Many of us leave homes where the most toxic, unbalanced relationships fester as they intersect with our personal mental health issues, childhood trauma, triggers, and systematic oppression and then enter our classrooms confused as to why we cannot find balance in any aspect of our work" I loved that you picked this quote. Many people are so quick to judge others in this society and don't know what people are going through behind closed doors. Everyone does react differently to different situations and I believe that each person needs to be respected. It shows how much this topic means to you!]]> 2020-09-27 23:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/782843787 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/783094810 Grace Czyz- One quote that resonated with me was from Chapter One; "I refuse to be the face of color on the brochure of this school while I experience unaddressed racism here every single day!" I chose this quote because I believe it is very relevant in today's society. Recently racism has been a very talked about topic and rightfully so! There needs to be change in this world, race should not be a defining factor of rights, beauty, or worth. Everyone is equal no matter their skin color. I believe that this quote is a great way for white people, like myself, to see how black people, and people of different nationalities are used to show diversity in things like magazines and brochures. It makes me so disappointed in the world, that people continue to be treated differently just because of the color of their skin. We are all the same on the inside. ]]> 2020-09-28 02:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/783094810 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/783125595 Grace Czyz- In response to Gracie Cognion: I completely agree with you when you brought up white privilege and how it shelters us from certain things. I am glad you are cognizant that white privilege is very much real, and that it will always be. I also agree with you on the fact that being powerless against yourself is beyond terrifying and that no one should ever have to feel that way.]]> 2020-09-28 02:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/783125595 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/784770855 Lucia Dominguez- “After you can think of this struggle very clearly, close your eyes, and visualize yourself on the other side of that struggle.” This quote from chapter one resonates with me because I think anything can be overcome no matter who you are. I believe no matter what struggle you are facing there will always be a solution. I chose this quote because sometimes I think we as individuals dwell on the past and don’t look enough into the future. I think it is good to start visualizing yourself beyond your problems and know that no matter what it is it’s always good to have hope. I also like this quote because it does not only tell you to “visualize yourself on the other side of that struggle” but before you do that “think of this struggle very clearly”. I think it is beneficial to think about why you are having this struggle so this way you are able to overcome it and have less of a chance of facing it again. This quote resonates with me because I believe there is always a light and the end of the tunnel. ]]> 2020-09-28 15:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/784770855 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/784823327 Lucia Dominguez- Responding to Patricia Harrington: I agree with you completely. I think it is so sad that we as individuals in society are almost kind of trained to judge someone within the matter of seconds like you said. I believe no matter what race, color, religion, sex, or hair color you have you should only be judged on your character. I love how you added, "the 'you're-Black-and-women-and-you-have-two-strikes-against-you' talk" because it is so true that people think like this. It just disgusts me that people can actually think like this and put others down. I thought you did a great job describing this quote and how it resonates with you!!]]> 2020-09-28 15:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/784823327 garciabj03 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/785499592 Brandon Garcia- One quote that resonated with me was in chapter 2, "We seek to regard the complexity and humanity of all racial groups, why does everything always have to be so black-and-white." I liked this quote because I think people try to put things into two options when it doesn't have to be. We are so complex as human beings that there is never just one answer to something. I believe that we need to remember that there is more than one answer and that being different or having another opinion is okay. The mindset of being black-and-white will only close off the opportunities that come before us. By staying open-minded we can discover new ideas and cultures that we were previously unaware of.]]> 2020-09-28 18:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/785499592 garciabj03 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/785562134 Brandon Garcia in response to Grace Czyn- I completely agree with you and how we need to change and not base things off the color of someone's skin or what their culture may be. It's inserting to think about how people that come from a diverse background may be used to try and promote diversity in magazines and brochures. Its almost like there trying to cover their wrongdoings by "promoting" diversity. I think once we can learn to treat everyone equally then we won't need a face to cover things up. I loved how you ended "we are all the same on the inside" because it's so true.]]> 2020-09-28 18:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/785562134 harrinpj02 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/785847783 PJ Harrington- Responding to Gracie Cognion: I 100% agree with your response to the quote. No one should ever feel trapped, it isn't fair. The last sentence of your response touched my heart. We need to be educating children at a young age that everyone is equal. That the outside of someone doesn't matter compared to the inside.]]> 2020-09-28 20:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/785847783 ricek01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/792588355 Kathryn Rice- One quote that resonates is “There is no hierarchy. Just every racial group at the table on equal standings. However, the table is always overladen with a European feast.” Page 23. I liked this quote because it reminds me of my privilege. Everyone at the “table” should have an equal say but they do not. This is important to remember as educators that even though every opinion may not be heard, we need to advocate for them. As much as I know that it shouldn’t exist, I think we can use our privilege to help those who cannot have their voices heard. We can help make change in peoples lives and make a stand. 

Response to PJ Harrington- I love how you explained your reasoning for the quote you chose. It was very well worded and very passionate. I agree with what you said about defining characteristics putting a target on people’s backs. Often, they are things that people cannot control, and we need to remember not to judge people too harshly.

I mean come on!" I chose this quote because growing up I lived in a town that was predominantly white. Living in this town meant that I really didn't know what it was like with having a diverse group of people. That is one reason why I chose to come to Buffalo State. As the quote put it I didn't know I had white privilege, because I lived in a town that was all white. I only knew what we were told in school in history class. Until I saw the news about everything that was happening. It made me really think about things. About how much I have missed, not just because of the town that I was in but also what they weren't showing us in classes. In the future I hope this is one of the things that we can change for the better.]]> 2020-09-30 19:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/792735647 Connor Pellicane pelliccs01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793260639 One of the quotes that resonates with me is "I had to dig deep to define myself  outside of the social standards." From chapter 1. I chose this quote because through out my life I always thought that I had to do whatever everyone else did to fit in. I would wear the same cloths, buy shoes and maybe get a different hairstyle just so I could fit in with everyone else. But I finally realized that I didn't need to be like everyone else I should be able to what I want wear what I want and look however I wanted. It was truly a struggle for me back in elementary and middle school to find the right group to fit in with because I was just following whatever one else did. But throughout high school I found clarity and a good friend group that showed me that I can be myself with having to worry about the standards of other people.]]> 2020-09-30 23:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793260639 pelliccs01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793274215 Connor Pellicane in response to PJ Harrington- I completely agree with you know one should have the right to immediately judge someone based on there looks or cloths and skin. We should all be accepting each other regardless of what we look like and what we wear.]]> 2020-10-01 00:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793274215 Thun Phyo phyotw01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793380862 One quote that resonates with me is "And because I am known for taking a stand on campus, I've become the target of open racist comments yet the school does nothing about it.". I chose this quote because I feel like a lot of people would 100% speak up about racism and stand up for what they believe in but they are scared of the many other people who would attack and make them a target just for doing what is right. Some are not scared of standing up for what's right and I commend them for it, when I see these kind of people it inspires me to do the same and not be afraid to speak up. But others would not do it even if they wanted to. I used to be afraid of standing up for others when they were the main target because I was scared I would be targeted as well, I was scared I would be made fun of. Now that I think of it, that was so silly because who cares what others think when you know that they are in the wrong and speaking up against them would have made such a huge change. I believe that you should not be afraid or hesitant of what others will do to you just because you want to speak up about the oppression and injustice that others feel and are going through. It will truly make a difference if you stand up for someone or a group of people, it shows that you are there for them and you support them, it will lead to change and most of all it shows these oppressed groups of people are finally heard. Take a stand for what is right, even the little things you do will leave a big impact.]]> 2020-10-01 01:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793380862 phyotw01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793404294 Thun Phyo in response to Kathryn Rice- I love how you interpreted the table and I completely agree with you that everyone at the table should have an equal say and be heard. There are many voices not heard because of the injustices that most people face today and it is great knowing that you want to encourage everyone to advocate for them and let their voices be heard. As a future educator, I also will make sure all voices will be heard and I will promote the open minded characteristic so everyone is included no matter their race, gender, or background. ]]> 2020-10-01 01:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793404294 One quote that resonates with me is "There is racial privilege, gender (and identity), privilege , heterosexual privilege , economic privilege, able-bodied privilege , educational privilege , religious privilege, and the list goes on and on. At some point you have to surrender to the kinds of privilege you hold because everyone has something someone else doesn't." Pages. 28&29 This quote sticks out to me because the amount of freedom straight white people have can be infuriating to a queer or lesbian black woman. When people say "privilege" doesn't exist, its frustrating because they're usually too oblivious to it or don't recognize it because they lived in it their whole life. truehenv01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793476079 2020-10-01 03:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793476079 Response to Kathryn Rice truehenv01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793486590 I also loved this quote because it was an amazing and clear example on how society should be. Hopefully more people can learn to use their privilege for the correct reasons, like you. Thank you. ]]> 2020-10-01 03:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/793486590 one quote that resonates with me is " I refuse to be the face of color on the brochure of this school while I experience unaddressed racism here every single day!" So many time African American are used as a pond to get others attention. When really they have no remorse or we are still treated the same. Its like why should we be the face of a poster when nothing in America has change for African Americans. Being the face of a brochure doesn't give us freedom, cops killing us. So why would we keep being the face of something when nothing has changed. gainestr01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/798502564 2020-10-02 17:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/798502564 the quote that resonates the most with me is " My personal definition of oppression is being trapped in someone else's narrative with no power of authorship". In this case minorities are being oppressed and are being controlled by others. They are not able to speak up for themselves. This kind of hits home. Some may now that I am Muslim and today in certain parts of the world our people are being tortured(sent to concentration camp) and murdered just for being themselves(Muslims). Honestly, it is ridiculous that people still discriminate against those who are different. husseima01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799464508 2020-10-03 03:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799464508 In response to Connor Pellicane- I totally agree with what you said. Growing up here, I dealt with similar issues (always trying to fit in and cared about others opinions). But as I grew older, I realized none of it really matters! husseima01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799466828 2020-10-03 03:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799466828 Cassandra Hurd https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799717236 One Quote that resonates with me is on page 1, "Before you teach us to splinter our souls For a seat at the table Teach us to splinter our hands  As carpenters of our own justice  How dare you engorge us  With this feast of feeble freedoms  An unquenched black whole" To me this quote mean that as teachers need to help shape students so that they find out who they are, but not shape them so that they are the way that we want them to be. We may help students find out who they are but we do not need to change their who personality just for the sake of changing a person. No, we need to help them find themselves. Treat each students fairly, do not choose favorites even though sometimes you might want to.]]> 2020-10-03 13:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799717236 Cassandra Hurd https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799723020 In response to PJ Harrington- I agree with you completely that my little cousin got told in one of her schools that she was not pretty because of the color of her skin. Me being the person I am I told my Eight year old cousin that everyone is pretty and people who say that you aren't are crazy and maybe they are just raised in a household that just doesn't understand beauty.]]> 2020-10-03 13:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/799723020 One quote that resonates with me is "....occur in relation to whiteness as desirable and Blackness as problematic. Across communities of color in America, for Example, internal stratifications of beauty position lighter skin, softer/straight.....whereas darker skin, coarser hair.... are viewed as less beautiful"(p.24). This really stuck to me because we continue to face this reality in our everyday lives. As a dark skin girl I was once told that I'm pretty for a dark skin, the worst part about it is that I was told this by a dark skin girl as well. This just upsets me because as we grow up we are brainwashed and told that being light skinned, with straight hair and a skinny body is prettier (society beauty standards), which is just messed up because we are all different and beautiful in our own ways. tamalidivine https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/800130983 2020-10-03 21:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/800130983 Matt Carlini carlinmj01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801083303 one quote that resonates to me is... "in a world that has suffered the ills of imperialism, colonization, and slavery... imagine that we have all finally fought our way toward 'access' to the table, yet the substance of what bis served is still steeped in the privilege of whiteness." coming from a very diverse school I have not seen white privilege like kids from other schools have seen. When Im with kids from other schools (wealthier) they seem to look at people that are not white different then I do. and I think a big role in that is the white privlige they get at going to a predominantly white school. Some of these kids have had only white kids in there classes since kindergarten. while I have had less then 50% white kids in my classes. and that is the problem in America. if our civil rights movement to end segregation was in the 60s... then why are some places in America still segregated???? us as Americans have to start looking at each other in new ways and start looking at us all the same. we need to spot white privlige and stop it. because as long as privilege is still around... so is segregation, racisim and every other civil problem we have in America ]]> 2020-10-04 18:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801083303 Nowshin Anjum https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801099105 One quote that resonates with me is "Here, within the intersecting margins of my world, I had to dig deep to define myself outside of the social mirror." Black people continually go through being undermined and shunned for their skin color. Our societal standards today want you to be white and skinny thus showing the amount of white privilege one can have. With no representation of black people in the media, entertainment, or anywhere it becomes hard to love themselves for who they are as society sees you as less when in reality it is internalized racism that should be acknowledged and stopped. Every person should be included and respected no matter what they look like.]]> 2020-10-04 18:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801099105 carlinmj01 https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801105797 in response to Cassandra Hurd- I agree with what you were saying with treating each student fairly. I think that not enugh teachers are too welcoming to students of all races, genders, ethnicity's, and LGBTQ+ friendly. I'm not scared that they aren't welcoming to everyone but they need to show it. and I think what you said is what has to happen in class to make students want to feel safe at school.]]> 2020-10-04 18:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801105797 Gabrielle Baldwin https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801372875 One quote that resonates with me is "We must look this fundamental racial binary in the face in order to illuminate the massive social construct that we silently exist within-". This personally resonates with me because as a young black female, I've always been told to fit the standard.

This resonates with me because as an urban student in a very diverse school district you can just see from the outside how under prepared and limited we are compared to the predominantly white schools that are provided with everything they need to succeed. ]]> 2020-10-05 01:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801534219 Kaleena Kenner https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/801991481 One quote that resonates to me is “ I refuse to be the face of color on the brochure of this school while I experience unaddressed racism here every single day!” Page 1 line 1. I feel like this quote sticks and stands out to me because black people go through this very often and for me to be a young girl  growing up with many aspirations I already have to work 10 times harder to be recognized because I am black. The systems and school don’t care about the  goals or dreams I have the only want the BIPOC there to make them look good when in reality they only have black people there so they don’t look racist but the whole time they are using black people you advertise purposes. They are trying to show how everything is equal but nothing has changed from the past we still get treated the same way so like the quote said why should she be the face of the poster when the racism is being unaddressed.

This quote resonates and stands out to me because I remember the beginning of my sophomore year in math class my math teacher said a racist comment when I was only asking him for a utensil. We had started a argument and his racist comment was "oh you think you so tuff, what are you a blood ,crip ,or in the Latin kings." I couldn't believe that just because I'm Hispanic he assumed I would be in a gang. ]]> 2020-10-15 02:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/harrisja4/qs2emq4fxdnbygrt/wish/830810433
