They were like, OK, calm down. They said, say it a little nicer. And I was literally like six years old and I had to know about racism that early and discrimination and all that stuff. That's a lot for a six year old. And also I got to learn math.

Yeah. I mean, also, I just feel like... Everyone needs to learn about all history, you know, and history is vast. White people need to learn about Black history too.

I would love to remove the race element and just get bullied regularly. But my fellow black girls, you know, just bullying each other like, you know, your mom is so fat. Those little things. Not I'm โ you are beneath me.
