What’s sad about this is that out of all the white acquaintances and friendships people of color have we all wish we could find more like you.

Sometimes a person of color is tired of the constant barrage of people lacking self awareness.

You might just be the hope that a person of color needs on any given day.

It is seriously demoralizing and traumatic to constantly hear racist opinion after racist opinion day in and day out 365 days a year. It is enough to make you go literally insane. Your perspective gives me hope.

If there is one misunderstanding I think exists between people of color and white people is that we don’t want to be around you.

Of course we get frustrated with abusive behavior. But whenever a white person like you becomes self aware and willing to put their ego aside. There is no reason for us not to want to be around a white person.

I think the media is doing real damage by trying to construct a narrative of me vs you and real life isn’t like that.
