A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
hello,
everyone
and
welcome
to
our
2018-2019
Youth
Advisory
Council
teen
summit,
I'm,
sanaya,
joy,
hood
and
I'm,
your
Y
AC
president
I'm,
so
great
that
you
could
be
here
with
us.
We
have
our
beautiful
panel
here
and
we're
actually
going
to
let
them
introduce
themselves
after
I
talk
about
today's
topic.
Today's
topic
is
race
relations
and
societal
health.
So
we'll
start
with
our
first
panelist.
D
F
G
A
K
L
So
dark
yeah
I
mean
I
feel
like
I'm,
real
lucky
I
grew
up.
They
know
town
called
Cambridge
in
Massachusetts,
which
is
you
know,
incredibly
diverse,
not
just
diverse
from
a
black
or
white
or
african-american
standpoint,
but
also
from
an
international
standpoint.
So
you
know
our
school
Cambridge,
Rindge
and
I,
and
we
had
you
know
Haitians.
We
had
people
that
were
from
Asia
different
parts
of
Asia
I
mean
we
had.
People
from
Europe
are
born
in
Europe
to
come
over
a
bunch
of
programs
that
brought
foreign
exchange
doing
so.
M
M
You
could
see
that
divided
in
school
as
well,
because
all
the
Hispanic
migrant
workers
would
keep
to
themselves
and
then
myself,
I
was
kind
of
caught
in
the
middle,
because
I'm
half
Hispanic
and
halfway
so
sometimes
I'd
get
along
with
you
know
the
Italian,
kids
and
then
sometimes
I
would
just
be
the
complete
outsider,
which,
when
I
was
younger
I
was
the
complete
outsider
because
they're
like
Oh
your
name's
Wally,
it's
funny
it's
different!
So
that's
why
most
of
my
childhood
I
grew
up
using
my
middle
name,
Michelle.
J
I
think
school
is
the
big
area
where
you
really
experience
one
thing
or
the
other
and
I
think
for
me
you're
right
in
school.
It
was
you
know
you
generally
hung
out
with
people.
Maybe
if
your
racemaster
group
there's
nothing
to
say
wrong
with
that,
as
long
as
it's
respectable
across
different
groups,
but
I
remember
talking
to
people
my
college
and
in
southern
Virginia
and
they
went
to
school
in
southern
Virginia
in
high
school
and
they
talked
about
race
Wars.
They
talked
about.
J
You
know
black
and
whites
not
physically,
but
pitying
themselves
against
each
other
and
real
there's,
actually
a
real
just
stress
between
those
two,
those
two
ethnic
groups,
and
it
was
really
crazy
to
think
about
what
it
would
be
like
to
go
to
school
like
that
or
live
in
an
area.
My
whole
life
and
that's
all
I,
see
if.
J
M
J
It's
almost
like
that
white
privilege
concept
that,
unfortunately
I,
do
think
a
lot
of
why
people
don't
think
about
that
enough,
which
I
think
they
should
I
think
the
one
time
I
did
feel
different
wasn't
a
scarring
moment,
but
it
was
a
telling
moment
something
you
I
didn't
think
about
was
actually
when
I
was
in
Haiti
on
a
mission
trip
and
I
was
hanging
out
with
these
Haitian
kids
and
they
would
they
were
so
fascinated
by
my
hair
on
my
arm
and
I
didn't
think
about
it.
I'm
like
wait.
J
That's
why
people
have
hair
in
arms,
but
you
know
other
people
don't
and
I.
There
was
just
more
than
weird
physical
differences.
Yeah
I
never
thought
about
until
these
kids
are
so
fascinating,
they're
pulling
my
hair
like.
Why
do
you
have
hair
right?
I'm
like
wow
I?
Guess,
there's
a
real
difference
there,
but
it
wasn't
a
bad
difference
as
much
as
me.
Recognizing
you
know,
I'm
in
a
place
where
being
white
is
not
the
norm.
I
remember
in
Haiti
they
call
this
free
was
called,
but
they
call
us
in
Creole
crabs.
J
It's
just
a
bunch
of
white
people
from
our
church
and
stuff
and
we're
walking
in
the
streets
of
port-au-prince
Haiti
everyone's
staring
at
us
like
we're.
This
crazy
aliens
and
I.
Just
can
only
imagine.
I
can
bet,
there's
places
in
America
and
you
know
in
the
other
countries
or
it's
me
or
white
people
doing
that
groups.
M
The
New
York
school
system
was
also
a
little
bit
more
head
than
my
Jersey
school.
So
I
could
do
all
this
crazy,
math
and
long
division
and
multiplication,
and
you
know
in
fourth
grade
it
sounds
crazy,
but
they're
like
I,
can't
believe
you
can
do
all
this
you're
such
an
alien.
You
know,
and
they
exiled
me
I
was
for
most
of
fourth
grade.
I
didn't
have
any
friends,
because
I
was
the
alone
alien
in
the
corner.
K
J
K
When
I
was
younger,
I
really
fit
into
that
stereotype,
because
I
was
just
a
whiz
kid
at
math
and
then
so
everyone
was
a
golf
course.
He
couldn't
math
like
you're,
indeed,
and
blah
blah
blah
I'm
like
all
right,
well
getting
good
grades.
I
guess
that
matters,
but
I
was
embarrassed
by
that
because
and
then
I
I
feel
like.
There
was
a
point
where
I'd
done
myself
down,
because
I
didn't
want
to
fit
him
that,
like
smart
kid
Indian,
sir
type
I
wanted
to
be
the
cool
girl
who
happens
to
be
a
little
tab.
D
If
people
are
speaking
from
a
standpoint
that
only
that
only
focuses
on
white
males,
then
I'm
gonna
speak
from
my
perspective,
because
that's
what
I
know
that's
what
I
can
encourage
other
people
to
learn
about
as
well,
but
it's
important
to
just
embrace
other
differences
and
don't
also
yourself,
if
you
don't
speak
up
for
yourself
or
if
you
don't
shine
your
light
in
a
room.
No
one's
gonna
know
you
or
where
you
come
from,
or
anything
about
you
and
they're
gonna
hold
on
to
their
stereotypes
or
their
perceptions
that
they
have
of
you.
D
A
Okay,
what
do
you
guys
think
this
racial
divide
comes
from
when
it
comes
to?
Oh,
you
have
something
to
add.
Okay,
yes,
please
add.
B
I
was
just
gonna
say
that
if
you're,
not
the
minority,
you
have
the
privilege
of
being
a
voice
for
people
who
are
you.
You
come
with
a
privilege
to
speak
for
people
who
are
the
minority
if
that
makes
sense.
So,
like
Chrissy
said
you,
if
you
are
the
minority,
it's
important
to
show
your
perspective,
but
if
you
aren't
the
minority,
for
instance,
I'm
a
white
female
so
where
other
people
of
color
their
voices
are
often
silenced,
I
have
the
privilege
and
ability,
as
a
white
person,
to
share
their
perspective
using
my
voice
and
privilege.
L
F
Also
found
that
it
works
to
be
confident
in
yourself
when
you
are
the
minority
in
a
situation,
speak
with
confidence.
You
know
who
you
are.
You
know
about
yourself
when
it
comes
to
stereotypes
or
opinions,
opinions
of
cool
stereotypes,
whatever
that
you
know
you
so
when
folks
say
certain
things
are
know,
I
say,
speaks
look
out,
they
mouth
I
go
ahead
and
speak
up
as
confidently
and
say:
hey.
No,
that's
not
right
and
I.
Tell
so
be
confident
in
yourself
know
yourself.
A
G
A
Okay,
so
for
those
people
that
may
not
be
exposed
to
other
I
would
say,
maybe
they
might
not
feel
like
they
have
that
opportunity
to
express
themselves
and
had
that
confidence
like
where
work
and
those
experience
happen,
if
you
don't
necessarily
have
it
at
school
or
in
a
club
that
you're
in,
like
some
people,
feel
like.
Oh
you
know,
I
might
have
moved
here
out
of
town
and
I
might
not
be
familiar
with
the
area
or
be
you
know
as
culturally
accepted
as
I
would
like
to
be.
So
just
how
do
you
deal
with
that.
C
So
I'll
say
as
diversity:
peer
educators
at
Columbus
State,
we
plan
events
over
different
array
of
topics,
LGBTQ
race,
ethnicity,
religion,
I,
would
say,
put
yourself
in
those
uncomfortable
situations
and
go
to
those
events.
Yeah.
You
may
not
be
part
of
the
LGBTQ
community,
but
you
can
learn
something
while
you're
there.
You
may
not
be
part
of
this
religious
group
but
attend
their
events,
see
what
they're
about
and
learn
about
them,
because
that's
the
way
you'll
grow.
A
Okay,
so
going
to
the
more
legal
aspect
of
things
when
there
are
different
stereotypes.
As
far
as
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
might
feel
that
they
get
charged
more
for
certain
crimes
in
this
area
are
just
that
difference.
How
can
you
speak
on
that
aspect
when
it
comes
to
that
diversity
within
the
legal
system?
A
F
She
was
looking
at
me,
or
was
it
you?
Actually
she
leaned
back
against
next
time.
If
I
understand
the
stats
are
out
there,
that
that
does
happened
in
the
justice
system.
So
it
is
it's
a
fact.
The
best
way
to
come
back.
That
is
no.
My
parents
had
me
in
fear
of
getting
caught
up
doing
anything
wrong.
I,
wasn't
scared
of
getting
caught
by
the
police.
I
was
carrying
couple,
my
parents,
my
dad
in
particular.
F
F
Just
do
the
right
thing
and
try
to
the
right
thing
at
all
times
and
keeping
me
in
charge.
In
the
first
place,
I've
been
cited
nine
times
a
teenager
in
high
school
in
college
for
drug
violations
and
they've
been
arrested,
but
you
know
I've
done
my
share
of
things
and
my
parents
quick
to
me
for
those
things
but
being
charged.
No,
but
just
do
the
right
thing.
What
you
can
I.
B
A
A
F
Not
with
you're
charged
with
is
what
you're
convicted
of
you
can
be
charged
with
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
it
comes
out
of
what
you're
convicted
of
so.
If
you
get
a
citation,
are
you
gonna
you
get
charged
at
something?
You
still
have
your
day
in
court,
so
sometime
suppose
get
bad
ass
bout,
the
charge
they
get
and
they
worry
themselves
so
much
by
the
charge.
F
Don't
worry
about
that
yet
go
to
court,
they
say:
have
your
facts
straight,
get
your
defense
together,
it's
not
final
until
you're
convicted,
so
charges
yeah
folks
have
run
from
us
and
whatnot
to
avoid
a
charge,
know
about
the
charge.
The
convictions
would
count.
So
this
don't
sweat
the
small
stuff.
Basically.
D
D
Okay,
I
would
honestly
say:
media
would
be
a
great
impact
on
that.
You
see
things
in
the
media,
especially
things
with
people
getting
pulled
over
and
it
going
completely
left
that
always
turns
out
to
be
some
type
of
spiral.
It
turns
into
a
movement
most
of
times.
We
all
know
those
situations
and
media
plays
a
big
role
in
to
a
lot
of
our
perceptions
today,
but
media
is
not
always
true.
Media
doesn't
always
display
the
facts.
You
have
to
always
go
into
your
research.
D
You
can
see
something
I
know
a
lot
of
people
see
like
Instagram
or
Twitter
as
like
their
newsfeed,
but
whenever
I
see
something
on
there,
I
always
have
to
go
and
google
it
myself,
because
I
don't
know
if
that's
gonna
be
a
hundred
percent.
True,
in
nine
times
eight
times,
78
times
out
of
ten
I
find
out.
D
I,
don't
really
remember
the
entire
situation,
but
the
media
portrayed
them
as
being
that
hat
and
rain
those
hats
and
seeing
where
that
slogan
comes
from
in
the
history
behind
it
and
who's
leading
that
slogan
and
it
just
kind
of
took
it
left
when
in
reality
we
don't
really
know
what
would
happen.
We
have
a
portion
of
the
video,
we
don't
have
the
entire
situation
so
definitely
controlling,
which
you
allowed
yourself
to
believe,
especially
in
media.
H
Well,
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
guess
in
addressing
the
historical
roots
of
why
there's
a
racial
divide,
I
think
everyone
knows
especially
going
back
like
50
100
200
years,
that
there
was
a
lot
of
explicit
barriers
to
any
sort
of
integration.
Amongst
the
races
there
were
legal
barriers
to
I,
guess,
breaking
down
stereotypes
and
to
having
a
cohesive
society,
but
obviously,
amidst
the
20th
century,
when
there
was
a
civil
rights
movement
and
there
was
a
greater
emphasis
on
trying
to
have
cooperation
amongst
the
races,
more
intermingling
integration,
desegregation
and
whatnot.
H
A
With
racial
tension
and
race
relations-
and
you
know
going
back
to
social
media
and
how
to
socially
me,
it
definitely
plays
a
big
part
when
it
comes
to
teenagers
and
even
adults.
You
know
and
I
just
want
to
ask
you
know
with
that:
dividing
racism
and
just
how
people
are
different.
So
how
can
that
kind
of
play
a
role
on
a
person's
mental
state,
I'm
gonna?
Actually
that
question
so.
G
Okay,
so
how
can
issue
'he's
that
are
brought
up
in
racial
issues,
especially
highlighted
in
social
media
or
media,
play
a
role
in
a
person's
mental
state?
One
of
the
things
that
comes
to
mind
is
the
fact
that
you
know
there's
a
obviously
a
when
racial
groups
are
there's
tension
between
racial
groups.
What
comes
along
with
that
is
a
lot
of
stereotyping
right,
so
that
happens
often,
regardless
of
whether
the
the
tension
is
actually
valid
or
not.
But
you
know
the
stigma
that
comes
along
with
that
can
be
definitely
very
mentally
draining.
Very.
G
It
can
cause
a
lot
of
just
self
disappointment,
self
hatred,
sometimes
depending
on
how
much
a
person
internalizes
the
messages
that
are
coming
from
others
and
from
other
racial
groups,
and
so
you
know
exchanging
that
kind
of
and
I'm
gonna
call
it
poison,
because
it
is
poisonous
to
our
internal
well-being
when
we
say
things
to
each
other
that
are
not.
You
know
very
nice
or
may
not
even
actually
be
true.
G
So
a
lot
of
that
can
be
very
deprecating
and
can
cause
one
to
feel
very
conditioned
gage,
you
know
socially,
maybe
even
from
you
know,
parents
or
relatives
and
even
cause
some
sometimes
in
some
cases
may
cause.
You
know
your
behavior
to
change
and
so
things
that
are
when
you're
constantly
taking
in
negative
messages.
You
know
those
things
can
alter,
how
you
think
and
feel
not
only
about
yourself
but
about
others,
and
so
you
may
take.
G
You
know
that
that
information
and
it
impacts
you
so
much
that
it
causes
you
to
become
almost
a
different
person.
So
no
longer
will
your
friends
or
your
family
sometimes
even
recognize
who
you
are?
You
may
physically
look
the
same,
but
your
behavior.
The
way
you
interact
with
others
can
very
gradually
make
a
transition
to
something
that
they
don't
recognize.
G
So
that's
something
to
be
aware
of
and
to
be
cautious
of
at
all
times,
especially
knowing
who
you
are
and
having
your
you
know,
people
your
loved
ones
that
are
close
to
you
when
they're
familiar
with
who
you
are,
and
they
say,
hey,
you're,
a
different
person.
I,
don't
I
don't
recognize
this
person
who
was
once
my
really
close
friend
or
who
was
you
know
that
daughter
or
that
son?
G
That
really
done
a
lot
of
great
things
and
was
very
helpful
and
nice
to
people
so
pay
attention
to
some
of
those
things,
and
also
just
be
aware
of
yourself?
Sometimes
you
can
detect
when
things
are
not
right,
even
within
yourself
and
and
allow
those
other
individuals
to
really
be
supportive
of
you
and
to
help
you
through
whatever
those
challenges
might
be
so
mentally.
It
definitely
can
have
a
significant
impact.
So
just
just
definitely
be
aware
of
that.
I
have.
H
A
follow-up
question
for
dr.
Sutton,
so
it
seems
like
internalization,
is
a
big
factor
for,
like
you
said
that
can
lead
to
self-hatred
and
can
change
the
way
people
perceive
the
world
because
not
all
I
don't
know
the
science
behind
how
people
internalize
various
stimuli
or,
if,
like
the
cognitive
processes
that
going
on
there.
H
But
if,
let's
say
the
most
obvious
differences
between
two
people
are
the
aesthetic
ones
like
on
face,
so
that
could
be
race
that
could
be
gender
just
outward
appearance,
even
if
a
situation,
a
decision
or
certain
action
is
taken
that
doesn't
necessarily
or
wasn't
motivated
by
any
certain
prejudice
or
yeah.
I
guess
prejudice
would
be
the
correct
term,
but
it's
internalized
as
such.
H
How
can
you
target
the
internalization,
or
even
if
it
was
based
upon
an
action,
was
based
on
prom
prejudice,
trying
to
prevent
somebody
from
internalizing
an
experience
and
generalizing
that
negative
experience
to
everyone
of
a
certain
race
of
a
certain
gender?
How
can
you
target
internalization
and
in
a
positive
manner,
I
think.
G
When
we
we
first
started
this
discussion,
we
talked
about
the
importance
of
sharing
your
experiences
and
being
very
genuine
about
who
you
are,
as
a
person
in
you
know,
when
you're
trying
to
really
target
internalization
and
really
understanding
how
a
person
may
perceive
things
or
how
you
may
perceive
things.
One
thing:
that's
really
important
to
do
is
just
kind
of
have
a
reality
check
right.
So
a
lot
of
times
we
take
in
information,
and
we
don't
really.
G
We
may
be
missing
bits
and
pieces,
and
that
might
tell
a
totally
different
story
when
we're
missing
that
information
information
versus
when
we
actually
have
all
the
information
in
front
of
us
and
so
internalizing
and
trying
to
stop
that
process
is
very
difficult.
It
can
be
difficult,
however,
when
you,
when
you're,
able
to
sort
of
talk
through
and
and
understand
what
it
is,
that
you're
feeling
and
why
you're
feeling
it
making
that
connection
to
from
what
you
are
feeling
based
on
the
information
that
was
shared
can
help
you
to
realize
that
sometimes
like.
G
Why
am
I
feeling
this
way?
Sometimes
we
think
about
certain
things
that
that
trigger
our
emotions
are
our
behavior.
Sometimes
that
can
be
that
can
happen
without
even
our
awareness
right,
so
there
may
be
prior
experiences
that
we've
had
in
our
lives
that
might
trigger
a
certain
emotion,
a
certain
feeling,
but
it's
important
to
you
know
at
that
particular
time
to
stay.
You
know
within
that
moment
and
really
start
to
sort
through
and
understand
why
you
feel
the
way
you
feel
about
a
certain
person
or
about
you
know,
a
certain.
You
know
situation.
Why?
G
H
Sort
of
follow-up
to
that,
if,
let's
say
we
notice,
like
you
said
you
can
notice
a
friend
or
a
family
member
who
potentially
had
an
Aidid
negative
experience
and
cause
them
to
spiral
downward
if
it
seems
like
trying
to
be
really
introspective
like
that
requires
someone
to
be
just
that,
like
reflective,
and
at
least
in
my
experience,
not
every
person
is
like
that.
So,
if
I
identify
my
friend
or
a
family
member
just
appear,
who
seems
like
they've
changed
over
time?
H
G
Sometimes
there
are
things
that
you
know,
especially
even
with
interacting
with
friends
and
family
members,
that
you
just
cannot
handle
yourself.
It's
just
you
know,
maybe
that
you've
tried
and
a
situation
is
just
you
know
either
you're
afraid
to
really
address
the
matter,
because
you're
afraid
to
either
lose
a
friend
or
maybe
it
might
turn
into
something
you
know
that
could
cause.
You
know
some
really
significant.
You
know
emotions
to
emerge.
G
F
Close
off
what
she
said
and
what
you
said
earlier,
where
I
tell
my
students
is
area
that
goes
in
comes
back
out
some
kind
of
way.
You
got
a
monitor.
What
goes
in
your
body
now,
I'll
just
mean
food
cuz,
a
lot
of
kids
aren't
laughs
when
I
say
that
by
me.
What
goes
in
here
and
what
goes
in
here,
if
you
hang
around
with
folks
who
constitute
negative
things
or
saying
negative
things,
it's
going
in
you're,
seeing
it
you're
observing
it.
It's
going
in!
You
gotta,
learn
how
to
cut
those
things
off.
F
This
might
come
to
you
with
some
negative
stuff,
just
go
ahead
and
cut
them
off
chop.
All
I
want
to
hear
that
you
see
the
game
last
night,
I
wanna
hear
negativity
I
want
to
get
in
here
once
it
gets
in,
and
you're
gonna
deal
with
it.
Now
you
gotta
internalize
it.
So
you
go
monitor
what
goes
in
your
body
all
the
time.
Music,
TV
movies.
Friends
just
check
it.
You
start
here
going
going
negative,
hey
man
hey
the
subject:
there's
are
something
different.
P
My
name
is
Jonathan
Robertson
I'm,
an
11th
grader
at
Columbus,
high
school
and
kind
of
building
off
of
what
you
guys
were
all
talking
about
with
historical
precedent
and
different
strategies
to
help
kind
of
combat
the
negative
aspects
of
race
relations
which
are
occurring
right
now.
If
we
kind
of
think
that
my
question
is
what
takeaways
can
we
have
from
kind
of
the
civil
rights
era
and
those
types
of
strategies
and
supports
within
the
community
from
different
people,
whether
that
be
from
the
church
or
whatever
counselors?
I
So
I
would
say
something
that
we
can
take
away
from
the
passes.
We
noticed
that
they
didn't
get
to
try
to
know
each
other,
maybe
if
we
actually
break
the
barriers
and
actually
get
to
know
these
other
races,
instead
of
coming
up
with
different
stereotypes
that
we
can
actually
know
who
people
are,
because
all
people
aren't
the
same
and
then
our
all
races
are
what
you
think
they
are
so
taking
away
from
that.
It's
actually
getting
to
know
these
people,
instead
of
assuming
what
they
are
I.
G
Would
also
say
that,
because
you
all
are
students,
some
very
easy
to
apply
kinds
of
things
that
can
help
with
just
really
understanding
each
other
and
mingling
more
is,
you
know,
really
make
an
effort.
You
know
in
your
school
to
get
to
know
even
through
you
know,
sitting
in
the
cafeteria
with
you
know
different.
You
know
types
of
people
and
getting
to
know
somebody
you
don't
know
very
well
and
introducing
yourself
and
kind
of
sharing
a
little
bit
about
yourself
and
allowing
that
person
are
those
individuals
to
share
a
little
bit
about
themselves.
G
You
know
really
making
an
effort
and
and
and
a
you
know,
a
conscious
effort
to
do
that
on
a
regular
basis.
We
know
that
everyone,
you
know,
including
myself,
when
I
was
in
school.
We
have
really
great
friends
and
we
have
best
friends,
and
you
know,
even
if
you
are
members
of
an
you,
know,
an
athletic
club
or
group
or
extracurricular
activity
where
you're
in
groups.
Sometimes
we
gravitate
towards
the
same
people
right,
because
we
know
them
are
comfortable
with
them,
they're,
really
good
friends
with
us.
So
really
you
know
kind
of
think
about.
G
Well,
let
me
let's,
let's
I'm
gonna
meet
somebody
new
this
time
or
maybe
when
I'm
in
my
classroom
and
it's
time
to
you
know
if
the
teacher
has
a
group
project
or
a
you
know,
allows
us
to
pair
up
and
gives
us
a
choice
to
pair
up
with
someone.
I'm
gonna
choose
somebody
else.
You
know
I'm
gonna
choose
someone
different
from
me
and
not
necessarily
my
best
friend.
So
you
just
think
about
you
know
those
opportunities
to
do
things
like
that,
even
while
you're
at
cool
I.
C
Think,
to
add
on
to
that,
you
have
to
be
very
intentional.
You
have
to
put
yourself
like
I
said
earlier
in
that
awkward
situation.
It
may
be
awkward
to
you
but
know
that
when
you're
uncomfortable
is
when
you
start
growing,
when
you
start
learning
other
people-
and
you
start
experiencing
new
things,
that's
when
you
start
growing
so
put
yourself
in
those
shoes.
Talk
to
new
people,
experience
new
things
just
be
out
of
your
comfort
zone,
get
out
of
the
box.
H
I
kind
of
a
follow-up
question
to
what
Jonathan
said:
dr.
Sutton
Sutton
mentioned
that
a
lot
of
times.
People
with
the
pre-existing
group
of
friends
are
quite
comfortable
and
I
would
even
go
further
to
say
that
I
think
a
lot
of
people
at
least
from
what
I
can
tell
at
my
school.
Don't
necessarily
think
that
racial
tension
is
the
most
pressing
issue
of
the
day
or
even
in
their
lives.
It's
more
like
day-to-day
clastic
class
they're,
not
constantly
on
top
of
trying
to
create
a
more
socially
just
world,
so
to
speak.
H
So
how
is
it
if
the
end
goal
is
to
try
and
degrade
stereotypes
or
I
guess
get
rid
of
them
break
down
barriers
and
have
a
more
cohesive
Society?
How
can
you
inspire
intent
in
other
people
without
trying
to
make
them
feel
bad
like
they
are
the
problem?
I
guess?
How
can
you
get
them
to
join
with
you
if
they're
already
comfortable
and
even
more
so
if
they
do
not
see
the
problem.
G
Okay,
that
that
and
I
appreciate
your
question,
because
I
think
that
the
best
way
to
really
approach
something
like
that
is
to
really
make
it
sort
of
a
universal
approach
right,
so
you
know
an
idea
would
be
to
for
a
school
building
to
have
something
where
everybody
is.
You
know,
is
asked
or
expected,
or
you
know
really
encouraged
to
you
know,
engage
in
an
activity,
social
activity
that
requires
some
mixing
and
mingling
and
really
getting
to
know
you
know
each
other.
G
As
you
know,
as
as
friends,
you
know,
as
a
you
know,
friends
of
the
human
race
really
because
we're
all
one
race
for
the
human
race,
and
so
you
know
so
to
avoid
you
know
targeting
any
bun
or
making
someone
feel
bad.
It's
really
you
know.
Taking
that
more,
you
know
cohesive
or
group
approach
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
easier,
I
think,
in
my
opinion,
or
at
least
a
better
approach,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
it's
you
know
taking
an
individual
approach
is
not
is
discouraged
either.
G
So
I
think
that
you
know
when
you're.
Obviously,
you
know
having
the
confidence
being
comfortable
in
your
skin,
knowing
who
you
are
as
a
person
not
being
afraid
to
present
yourself,
knowing
that
there
might
be
someone
who
you
know
who
you
with
whom
you
approach
and
engage,
might
feel
uncomfortable.
You
know
be
prepared
for
that
that
that
might
happen,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
there's
anything
wrong
with
you.
G
It
just
means
that
you
know
there's
some
discomfort
potentially
on
the
part
of
the
other
person,
but
that
doesn't
mean
you
stop
trying
right
and
not
necessarily
with
that
person
you
know
maybe
try
with
others
at
some
point.
You
know
you
will
engage
someone
who
is
open
to
wanting
to
talk
and
wanting
to
get
to
know
you
as
a
person.
A
N
F
Like
that
one
I'm
also
curious
of
people's
ethnicity,
it
is
all
in
how
you
ask
it
in
my
opinion,
like
don't
say,
like
way
you
throw
that's
horrible
Horatio,
either
cuz,
you
know,
I
see
an
avenue
of
approach.
I
will
ask
them.
You
know
you
ever
ask
your
ethnicity
or
do
I,
hear
an
accent
like
that.
Yeah
I
have
an
avenue
but
definitely
asking
their
ethnicity.
You
know,
and
you
can
see
the
reactions
they
take
homage
to
it
and
apologize
and
drop
it,
but
instead
of
all
being
curious,
just
don't
be
overbearing
with
it.
I.
D
Would
say
also
it's
important
to
knowing
the
difference
between
race
and
ethnicity
I'm
in
my
senior
year
of
college
and
I
during
our
retreat
this
past
summer,
I
really
kind
of
overlapped,
the
two
until
then
so
I
think
it's
important
to
know
the
difference
your
race
is
so
I
would
consider
myself
african-american
about
race.
My
ethnicity
will
become
my
Romy
correct.
If
I'm
wrong
will
be
my
culture
run
from
great
great
okay,
sometimes
they'll
get
confused,
so
I
just
want
to
be
sure.
But
and
again
it
goes
back
to
that
approach.
D
People
when
I
was,
and
even
to
this
day
people
comes
to
me.
They
say
you're,
not
black,
you're,
Hispanic
or
you're.
This
you
can't
be
black.
Yes,
I
am
no
you're,
not
you
must
be
mix
and
for
a
lot
of
stars
to
think
like
I,
just
I'm
I'm
like
so.
What
are
we
like?
Every
night
and
I
would
like
literally
make
up
something
like
oh
I,
think
that
where
this
is
it
never
connected
Alpher
and
further
enough
to
me
and
I
will
make
us
something
and
a
house
get
comfortable
in
that.
D
But
it
was
because
of
the
way
people
asked
me
they
would
they
wouldn't
acts.
They
would
tell
me
what
I
am
and
I
had
to
be
confident
in
who
I
was
and
what
my
race
and
my
ethnicity
was.
So
it's
definitely
about
the
approach,
because
you
don't
want
to
offend
someone
and
you
don't
want
to
make
them
feel
less
less
than
of
who
they
are.
B
Q
Yes,
I'm
Courtney
Fortunato
and
I'm,
a
junior
at
Columbus,
high,
school
and
I
know
we
talked
a
lot
about
what
students
could
do
to
kind
of
put
themselves
in
environments
where
they
can
learn
about
people
of
different
cultures,
ethnicities
etc.
So
how
do
you
think
schools
could
improve
in
creating
environments
that
appreciate
and
nurture
diversity.
D
So
I
would
say
using
students
to
do
so
at
CSU,
I'm,
also
on
on
Diversity
Committee,
so
I'm,
the
only
student
on
that
committee
and
I've
done
that
committees
my
second
year
and
I'm
on
there
with
community
people,
people
from
someone
from
half
like
their
HR
department,
people
and
athletics
people
and
Enrollment
Services,
even
up
to
and
meet
committee
reports,
to
our
president,
so
being
able
to
get
my
input
into
how
the
school
can
help
students
display
diversity.
I'm
oftentimes,
like
it
goes
back
to
programming,
making
sure
that
students
understand
that
their
input
is
important.
D
But
if
you're
speaking
to
the
school
in
itself,
I
would
say
looking
at
their
demographics
and
seeing
what
underserved
students
they
have
and
embracing
those
students,
because
they
may
feel
alone.
They
may
not
feel
like
they
belong,
so
you
can
give
them
a
place,
give
them
a
platform
to
where
they
can
give
their
input.
D
A
Add
to
that
actually,
as
high
school,
we
actually
just
start
this
thing.
This
year
we
have
Heritage
Week,
so
everyone
all
that
every
different
culture
they
can
bring
dishes,
they
can
bring
drinks
and
you
food,
and
we
actually
just
have
an
entire
week,
where
they're
able
to
immerse
in
different
cultures
and
diversity,
and
it's
an
amazing
experience.
It
went
very
well
this
year,
so
I
mean
that's
also
a
great
way
to
get
different
cultures.
R
My
name
is
Isabel
Packard
and
I'm,
a
junior
from
Columbus
high
school.
My
question
was
kind
of
going
back
to
what
Aiden
was
saying
earlier
about
implicit
and
explicit
barriers.
Do
you
think
that
there
are
any
explicit
barriers
in
our
society
today
to
diversity?
And
if
not,
what
do
you
think
the
implicit
barriers
are
between
races
in
our
society.
H
I'll
take
a
shot
at
that
one,
okay,
so
with
regards
to
explicit
I'm,
just
going
to
interpret
that
as
anything,
that's
not
having
to
do
with
one's
prior
experience
or
like
internal
thought
processes,
but
I
think
there
are
the
example
provided
previously
about
how
there's
certain
neighborhoods
that
are
zoned
for
certain
schools
that
are
almost
entirely
homogeneous.
Like
the
middle
school
I
went
to
I,
it
was
in
Oregon,
it
was
90
plus
percent
white.
It
was
not
much
diversity
whatsoever
and
I
think
that
it's
not
necessarily
a
legal
barrier
per
se.
H
But
there
are
socioeconomic
factors
that
do
divide
certain
communities
and
there
are
wealth
gaps
between
races
and
I.
Think
that
that
those
are
explicit
barriers
to
trying
to
promote
the
kind
of
interactions
that
happen
in
in
schools
and
everyday
life
at
the
parks
and
whatnot
that
are
really
important
for
trying
to
knock
down
the
barriers.
So
I
can't
think
of
any
legal
barriers.
H
But
I
can
think
of
several
like
socioeconomic
factors,
which
may
act
as
barriers
to
this
sort
of
progress
that
we're
aiming
for
and
with
regards
to
implicit
barriers
that
are
kind
of
obstructing
any
sort
of
progress.
I
think
that
it
really
starts
forming
like
it
could
be
what
you
hear
on
the
news
or
what
your
parents
espouse,
and
that
there
is
some
sort
of
the
way
that
you're
nurtured,
because
a
point
that
was
brought
up
that
a
previous
Y
is
C
meeting.
H
Is
that
when
you
see
two
kindergartners
that
are
just
playing
in
preschool
right,
they're,
not
really
conscious
of
any
sort
of
differences
between
them.
It's
just
all
about
having
fun
and
playing
and
I
think
that
the
implicit
barriers
would
form
based
off
of
prior
experiences.
That
may
be
internalized
poorly
and
over
generalized.
H
What
you
hear
at
home
on
the
news
by
your
parents
and
then
maybe
even
if,
let's
say
you
go
to
a
school
where
it's
just
homogeneous
and
everyone
looks
like
you,
then
you
don't
have
experience
interacting
with
somebody
of
another
race
and
then
your
perceptions
of
what
that
race
are.
Are
what
you
hear
around
school?
That
could
be
through
the
form
of
jokes
that
could
be
through
textbooks
that
could
be
through
just
gossip
and
rumor.
H
What
you
hear
on
the
news
so
I
think
that
the
implicit
errors
towards
the
kind
of
progress
we're
talking
about
are
accrued
over
time
and
that's,
create
and
uphold
the
stereotypes
that
we're
talking
to.
But
the
explicit
sigh
I
think
are
more
at
least
from
what
I
can
tell
like:
indirect
and
socio-economic
in
nature.
S
E
As
far
as
encounters,
if
we
make
as
an
officer
make
a
traffic
stop
for
somebody
runs
a
red
light
or
stop
sign,
it's
out
pull
over
that
vehicle
because
of
the
infraction
they
went
through
the
red
light.
They
went
through
the
stop
sign
and
not
even
knowing
the
race
or
gender
of
the
driver
until
we
get
up
to
the
door
as
far
as
murders
and
things
in
our
city.
What
I've
heard
from
our
detectives
is
a
lot
of
those.
G
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
your
statement,
it's
very
true,
actually
a
lot
of
times
when
students
are
adults
are
experiencing
some
form
of
depression.
It
may
not
be
very
obvious
to
you,
especially
someone
who's
very
close
to
you,
and
so
whether
it
be
a
friend
or
a
family
member,
it
is
indeed
important
to
make
sure
that
that
you're
talking
with
them
daily
that
you're
observing
you
know
their
behavior
and,
like
I,
mentioned
earlier,
any
differences,
and
you
know
their
interaction
with
others.
G
F
Going
back
to
the
explicit
implicit
and
whatnot
and
then
also
her
question,
the
she
detects
the
over
generalization
I
know:
I
had
kindergarteners
one-time
acts,
people
was
my
hat
and
I.
Had
my
hat
on
I
said:
I'll
wear
a
hat
and
they
were
like
where's,
your
hat
and
I
realized.
They
met
my
shades
that
are
normally
on
my
head
right
here,
so
they
were
over
generalizing
the
object
of
my
head
and
they
had
well
I
said
that
because
sometimes
you
over
generalize
law
enforcement.
F
So
even
though
a
lot
of
shootings
you
see
on
TV
and
whatnot,
don't
necessarily
have
officers
that
look
like
me
per
se.
I
still
get
punched
in
there
with
everybody
else.
All
of
us
are
responsible
for
that
shooting
in
Oregon.
Even
we
had
nothing
to
do
with
it.
So
that's
how
we
have
to
deal
with
it
here.
We
have
to
take
that
all
into
account.
You
have
no
idea
the
amount
of
pressure
it
goes
on
with
us
as
soon
as
our
office
does
anything
around
the
country.
F
It's
like
oh
I'm,
going
to
hear
about
it
here
in
Columbus,
and
this
outside
goes
like
you
said.
We
do
everything
with
a
case
by
case
basis,
but
at
the
same
time
the
implicit
these
are
going
on
is
like
that.
It's
a
animosity
animosity
to
come
between
ratios
between
genders
team
professions.
It's
not
a
animosity
love,
not
knowing,
then
the
less.
You
understand
the
more
you
fear
and
then
that
fear
turns
into
a
hate.
So
I
think
we
need
more
understanding
on
it's
not
like
we're
here
and
we're
hearing
y'all
you're
hearing
us
cuz.
C
So,
jumping
back
to
what
you
said:
I'm
about
mental
health,
I
think
that
when
you
find
someone
or
someone
comes
to
you
in
regards
to
their
mental-
and
they
don't
want
to
see
a
counselor,
they
don't
want
to
seek
professional
help.
Encourage
them
to
do
so
because
sometimes
there's
that
stigma
of
only
weak
people
go
see.
Mental
health
professionals.
If
you
can
see
a
doctor
or
if
you
can
see
a
dentist
at
all
in
your
mouth-
are
all
touching
you.
C
You
can
go
talk
to
a
professional
and
sit
down
with
them
and
just
have
a
conversation.
So
there's
nothing
wrong
with
seeking
help.
So
I
don't
feel
like
you're
gonna.
You
look
weak
or
less
than
when
you
talk
to
someone
about
what's
going
on
within
you,
because
that's
just
as
important
as
going
to
the
doctor
or
the
dentist
or
all
those
other
doctors,
all.
A
J
F
As
you
can
see,
I
like
the
talk
by
answering
questions,
my
diversity
folks,
we
both
have
community
relations.
We
go
around
town
everywhere,
so
everywhere,
I
go
I!
Try
to
talk
to
people.
If
I
see
you
in
Walmart,
no
Gatorade
I
were
asked
what
kind
of
Gatorade
you're
getting
I've
had
folks
actually
know
get
defensive,
but
maybe
bothered
me
for
I
say
that
was
kind
of
levers
you
getting
well
you
like
bothering
folks
what
flavor
you
get.
Oh
I'm,
getting
this
this,
this
fierce
great
yeah
I
like
that
to
it.
My
favorite
flavors
feels
great.
F
So
I
tried
this
talk
as
new
folks
I
can
we
were
in
schools
everyday,
so
we
we
always
round
different
personalities
and
everything
else.
So
my
thing
is
communication.
Just
more,
you
communicate
with
people
the
better
off
you'll.
Be
this
no
just
saying
hello,
saying
how
you
doing
better.
The
only
person
ask
them
how
they're
doing
that
day.
F
I
was
told
by
a
lady
one
time
that
everybody
make
eye
contact
with
deserves
at
least
the
time
of
day,
and
that's
something
small,
as
you
can
do
to
everybody,
make
eye
contact
with
give
them
the
time
of
day.
I
don't
mean
you
say.
The
time
is
7-eleven
I
mean
you
can
say
good
morning
good
evening
good
afternoon
you
know
just
acknowledge
their
presence,
regardless
of
race,
gender.
Whatever
just
acknowledge
your
presence
might
go
a
mile.
You
never
know.
A
E
What
we
have
in
common
and
communicate.
What
do
you
do
for
Christmas?
What
do
you
do
for
birthdays?
What
do
you
do
and
find
out
what
you
have
in
common?
Maybe
you
would
like
to
someday
visit
some
some
country
well,
you're,
gonna,
find
out
music
and
food
and
talk
to
them,
see
what
you
have
in
common
I.
A
Actually
want
a
ticket
a
little
back
to
what
she's
what
he
after
when
he
was
saying
about
the
video
and
how
race
and
everything
does
you
know
the
differences
in
your
conversations,
changes
you
get
older.
So
where
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
face
when
you
were
younger
that
might
have
changed
now
that
you
know
some
things,
you
didn't
notice
before
some
tensions
that
you
have
now
or
how
are
you
more
aware
of
your
surroundings?
You've
got
an
odor,
maybe
I
can
take
that
one.
G
I'll
take
it
so
when
I,
when
I
was
growing
up
and
I
went
to
school,
I
I
actually
attended
school
in
a
predominantly
white,
with
a
predominantly
white
population
of
students
from
elementary
to
middle,
and
it
wasn't
until
I
got
to
high
school,
that
I
started
to
see
more
diversity
of
students.
You
know
students,
Latino,
Hispanic,
african-american
and
and
other
races
and
cultures,
and
so
growing
up.
My
my
father
was
very
adamant
about
being
open
to
learning
and
then
now
this
is
as
an
African
American
girl.
G
You
know
being
open
to
understanding
and
learning
more
about
other
cultures,
and
so
that
was
just
something
that
my
parents
taught
me
to
do,
and
my
brother
as
well
is
learn
no
matter
where
they're,
where
they
come
from,
where
a
person
comes
from,
doesn't
matter
what
socioeconomic
status
they
might
fall
into
race
culture.
All
of
its
you
know,
different
and
so
I
learned
from
a
very
young
age
that
you
know
that
you
know.
G
America
is
a
melting
pot
of
all
kinds
of
people,
and
that
actually
was
something
I
embraced
early
and
actually
appreciated
that
I
appreciated
learning
about
different
groups
of
people
and
I
learned
very
early
that,
regardless
of
whether
you're
white
black
Latino
Asian,
a
person
who
wasn't
nice
just
was
a
person
who
wasn't
nice
didn't
matter
what
their
racial
background
was
and
so
and
and
I
experienced.
Some
of
that
growing
up.
G
So
I
think
that
for
me
again,
just
learning
being
open
to
learning
and
being
you
know
taught
that
you
should
be
open
to
learning
people
and
like
people
for
who
they
are
as
a
person
not
because
of
their
skin
color
or
not.
Because
of
you
know
how
much
money
their
families
have
or
anything
like
that.
But
just
because
they're,
a
genuinely
nice
person.
I
Okay,
so
like,
if
we're
speaking
about
experiences,
I,
remember,
growing
up,
I
went
to
a
predominantly
but
elementary
school
and
in
some
cases
I
was
considered
an
Oreo
because
outside
of
the
school
I,
wouldn't
just
hang
out
with
my
normal
black
friends,
because
my
mom
felt
like
it
was
always
important
for
me
to
be
put
in
more
diverse
settings.
So
I
would
be
considered
the
Oreo
in
my
class.
So
it
was
always
different.
S
C
Think,
usually,
being
a
minority
in
the
sectors
that
I'm
in
educating
people
about
me
and
my
culture,
because
sometimes
they
don't
want
to
ask
so
I
may
just
tell
them.
Oh.
This
is
important
to
me
because
of
X
Y
&
Z,
or
we
celebrate
this
because
of
this,
so
just
being
being
the
voice
for
your
people
and
educating
others.
Even
if
they
don't
ask
I
mean
I,
just
tell
people.
F
Music
I
got
stopped
one
time
family
on
the
left
side
in
an
own
couple
on
the
other
side
and
I
was
playing
some
scene
music
in
high
school,
and
it
really
hit
me
right
then
and
wow.
This
is
the
only
opinion
able
to
have
of
me.
Is
this
loop
music,
not
the
ABR,
Oh
student
that
goes
to
car
behind
school
magnet
all
they're
gonna
see.
Is
this
guy
playing
little
music
and
I
was
like
so
embarrassed
myself?
My
parents
just
understand.
F
C
I
think
in
let's
say:
I
was
in
a
room
with
him
under
with
majority
black
and
white
people.
That
doesn't
necessarily
mean
I
want
to
be
the
model
Hispanic
person.
So
you
need
to
ask
that
person
he's
it.
Okay,
if
we
use
using
example
for
this,
or
is
it
okay
for
this?
Just
because
they're
there
doesn't
mean
that
they
are
who
you
need
to
use
as
the
model
for
everything
just
because
there's
a
nation
they
were
oh,
we
need
to.
We
need
to
talk
to
you
about
all
Asians.
C
V
Hey
I'm,
Dominique
Webb
from
Northside
high
school,
so
going
back
to
saying
sometimes
use
need
to
see
a
doctor
to
speak
about
your
issues.
Going
on
my
question
is
some
people
don't
want
being
open?
Some
people
don't
want
being
vulnerable.
So
what's
another
like
sort
of
source
of
catharsis
for
some
people,
because
not
everyone,
like
speaking
personally
I,
don't
like
talking
to
people,
so
it's
other
things
that
we
can
recommend
your
friends
to
implement
in
their
lives.
V
G
If
you
don't
like
talking
to
others,
and
this
could
be
for
adults
or
students,
journaling
is
really
helpful.
Some
people
keep
Diaries
or
I,
don't
know
if
they
still
call
them
Diaries
these
days,
but
a
journal
to
write
in
just
to
write
out
your
thoughts
and
your
feelings
that
can
be
the
cathartic
and
sometimes
just
you
know,
listening
to
music
and
trying
to
really
kind
of
you
know,
find
a
way
to
relax.
So
you
you
find
you
release
some
people
like
to
exercise
and
go
for
walks
or
runs
or
go
for
a
bike
ride.
G
Some
people
might
call
a
trusted
friend,
so
those
are
just
different
things
that
you
can
try,
and
does
that
mean
that
it
there's
a
one-size-fits-all
you
know
model
for.
For
all
of
us
know
you
you
do
what's
helpful
to
use
for
you.
Some
people
go
for
a
swim,
so
some
people
even
clean,
believe
it
or
not.
So
you
know
it's
it's
whatever
is
helpful
and
soothing
for
you
and
helps
you
to
relax
and
kind
of
help
you
to
get.
You
know
really
process
and
be
reflective
of
what
what's
going
on
in
your
life.
G
At
the
time,
the
other
thing
is:
is
that
sometimes
we're
afraid
to
talk
to
people
that
are
closest
to
us
right,
so
you
know
mom
and
dad
or
our
closest
friends,
because
we
just
we
don't
want
people
to
know
what
we're
going
through
and
a
lot
of
times.
It's
helpful
to
even
talk
to
someone
who's,
a
you
know,
kind
of
like
a
stranger,
so
they
do
have
numbered
like
at
the
911
111
call
it's.
You
know
like
a
crisis
line
or
something
like
that.
D
Would
also
say,
knowing
yourself
I
know
when
I
was
in
high
school
I,
just
I
moved
to
I'm
from
Detroit
I
moved
to
Georgia
in
my
junior
year
of
high
school
and
when
I
moved
I
found
out
that
one
of
my
best
friends
attempted
to
commit
suicide
and
there's
four
of
us
we're
like
sisters
there,
the
sisters
I
never
had
and
when
I
found
out
I
was
hurt
because
I
was
like.
We
talk
about
everything
like
why
didn't
I
know
this
and
I
didn't
find
out
some
months
later
from
another
from
our
other
best
friend.
D
But
it's
important
to
know
that
know
who
your
friends
are
and
knowing,
when
they're
changing.
Someone
said
that
earlier,
knowing
when
they're
changing
knowing
when
something
isn't
right
with
them,
when
they're
becoming
distant
and
then
again
knowing
yourself,
if
you
ever
feel
like
you're
going
through
something
knowing
yourself,
okay,
like
sometimes
I
get
in
these
moods
or
it's
time,
periods
where
I
don't
want
to
talk
to
anybody
like
I'm,
already
kind
of
quiet
and
say
to
myself
as
it
is.
But
I
don't
want
to
like
talking
about
I
go
to
class,
go
to
work.
D
But
another
thing
is
I
saw
I,
don't
know
if
I
saw
this
on.
Oh
I,
don't
know
like
a
TV
show
where
they
were
watching
Oprah
or
something
like
that.
But
writing
things
down
like
writing
down
with
your
problem
is
and
then
ripping
it
up
so
I'm
playing.
It
was
like
something
that
I
put
trust.
I
got
interesting,
which
I
put
trust
on
the
air
and
I
ripped
it
up,
and
that
was
my
way
of
forgiving
them.
D
I
put
our
real
freedom,
it's
not
ripped
it
up,
and
it
was
stress
rip
that
up
it
was
a
class
at
bat
in
I
was
stressed
about
that
wrote
on
that
class
ripped
it
up
so
ripping
it
was
kind
of
symbolizing
to
get
over
it.
So
being
able
is
something
is
stressing
you
out
or
something
to
bring
you
down
writing
that
down,
ripping
it
up
and
saying:
okay,
I'm
done
with
this
kind
of
symbolizing
that
so
just
knowing
yourself
and
finding
again
the
coping
mechanisms
that
can
help
you
get
through
whatever
you're
going
through.
F
Writing
it
down
write
a
song
or
something
like
Taylor
Swift.
You
know
Adele,
now
they're
making
money
off
writing
down
their
personal
experiences.
It's
made
into
a
song.
We
didn't
kind
of
sing,
it
just
write
it
down,
make
it
into
a
song.
That's
missing
a
point
you
and
you
get
paid
for
it.
So
me
write
down
good
thing.
O
Just
gonna
ask
them:
is
it
better
to
ignore
like
people
who
are
a
different
race?
Is
it
better
to
ignore
their
differences
and
think
of
them,
as
just
you
know,
like
everyone
else
and
you're
all
the
same?
It
doesn't
matter
if
they're
different
we're
all
like
friends
and
stuff,
or
is
it
better
to
embrace
their
differences.

Hello:
everyone,
I,
am
Joey's
mother
I,
just
had
a
question
for
dr.
Janine
Sutton
doctor
said
yes,
as
a
mother,
I
had
a
young,
my
daughter
at
nine
to
experience
racial
tension
with
an
adult
leader,
and
it
was
very
hard
for
me
and
a
reality
to
me
too,
that
this
is
going
on
in
the
world
like
I.
Never
in
a
million
years
would
think
that
my
daughter
at
age
of
nine
would
experience
something
like
that
with
as
from
a
leader.
So
as
a
parent,
what
type
of
suggestions
do
you
give
us?
Q
G
G
Other
people
and
you
know,
understand
and
ask
questions
and
accept
and
embrace
those
differences
like
we
were
just
speaking
of,
and
so
you
know
being
prepared
for
you
know
what
we
would
quote-unquote
call
rejection
or
someone
not
being
ready
to
approach
that.
You
know,
that's
something
that
you
know
she
or
any
of
us
have
to
be
prepared
for
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
say
is
make
sure
she
understands
that.
It's
not
her
fault
that
there
are
going
to
be.
G
G
That's
the
problem,
it's
not
her
hair
or
her
skin
color
or
her
body
type.
That's
the
problem,
it's
that
some
individuals
and
they
have
the
right
to
you,
know,
say
you
know
I'm,
just
not,
or
at
least
expressed
that
they're
not
ready
to
to
bridge
those
gaps
with
her,
and
so
that
would
be
my
input.
I,
don't
know
if
any
any
others
have
other
suggestions.
G
A
B
Okay,
I
guess
I
would
say.
The
most
important
thing
is
to
always
have
open
conversations
to
embrace
the
awkward
is
what
we
say
at
the
diversity
office
and
to
never
shy
away
from
having
conversations
about
difficult
topics
like
race
relations
like
LGBTQ,
like
ethnicity,
like
anything,
that's
difficult
to
talk
about
and
don't
forget
to
stand
up
for
yourself
and
have
confidence
and
who
you
are
and
what
you
believe.
That's
really
important
and
also
finally
be
armed
with
the
facts
and
what
you
know
to
be
true.
I.
C
Think
the
most
important
thing
is
to
be
intentional,
and
unless,
if
you're
not
intentional,
then
you
may
not
ever
grasp
any
concept
or
learn
something
new
that
would
be
my
biggest
takeaway
is
just
be
intentional
about
learning,
diversity
and
learning
that
everyone
is
different
and
that's
different,
isn't
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
Different
is
okay,
if
we're
all
different
people,
so
just
learn
about
everyone.
I.
D
Would
say,
leading
by
example,
be
the
change
you
want
to
see
be,
who
you
want
the
world
to
turn
into?
If
you
want
your
classmates
to
be
one
not
be
one
way,
but
if
you
want
them
to
accept
the
differences
of
others,
then
you
have
to
start
by
accepting
the
differences
of
others.
If
you
want
your
community
to
thrive
in
a
diverse
situation,
you
have
to
be
able
to
thrive
in
a
different
situation,
so
definitely
leading
by
example,
and
being
the
change
that
you
want
to
see.
I.
E
Just
want
to
say
thanks
again
for
inviting
us
to
be
here
also
something
helped
me
when
I
was
younger,
interacting
with
people
different.
For
me,
it
was
sports,
I,
loved
basketball,
baseball,
not
as
much
but
basketball,
and
that
helped
me
with
interacting
and
learning
growing,
and
that
really
helped
me
out.
F
Everything
y'all
just
said:
I
was
taking
notes,
the
more
you
know,
the
more
you
grow.
Just
take
it
as
much
as
you
can
try
to
learn
as
much
as
you
can
learn.
Different
cultures
learn
from
people.
You
never
know
what
little
bit
of
information
is
going
to
come
in
handy
in
the
future,
just
be
willing
to
take
it
in
listen,
you
know,
put
it
away
somewhere
for
the
future
and
no
just
I
wish
I
by
the
best.
If
you
ever
need
anything,
you
have
a
compass
pencil
couple
moody
down
at
PD.
F
G
I'm
going
to
also
kind
of
echo
some
of
the
comments
here,
but
I
would
say
the
takeaway
from
this
would
be
to
be
the
difference,
be
the
difference
for
yourself
be
the
difference,
regardless
of
how
it
might
appear
to
your
friends,
your
family,
you
may
you
may
look
different
and
in
terms
of
how
you
think
and
how
you
value
race,
culture
and
those
sorts
of
things.
You
know.
G
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
always
keep
in
mind
is
that
every
one
of
us
deserves
dignity
and
respect,
regardless
of
where
we
come
from,
and
it
doesn't
cost
a
dime
to
do
to
do
that,
to
provide
those
things.
So
I
would
say
just
make
sure
that
your
you
know
if
you
treat
everyone
with
dignity
and
respect,
then
you're
on
your
way,
to
certainly
being
the
difference
for
not
only
your
peers,
but
those
who
will,
after
you.
H
I
think,
with
regards
to
taking
away
from
this
panel
discussion,
taking
the
information
from
this
and
going
back
and
trying
to
apply
it
at
home
or
at
your
school
at
least
my
biggest
takeaway,
is
that
from
what
especially
youth
are
able
to
affect
with
regards
to
change
is
just
treating
people
as
individuals
trying
to
see
that
yeah.
We
all
have
different
backgrounds.
Different
experiences
we
may
even
appear
different,
but
that
trying
to
treat
one
another
on
an
individual
basis
is
probably
the
best
way
that
we
can
affect
any
sort
of
change.
H
So
I
mean
I
feel
as
if
y'all
are
probably
the
stewards
for
the
progress
that
we're
trying
to
trying
to
attain.
So
if
trying
to
attain
progress
is
important
to
you
just
trying
to
see
the
people
through
an
individual
lens,
rather
than
through
a
group
lens
and
just
trying
to
be
conscious
of
even
the
moments
where
you
may
be
stereotyping.
