They are tired of being overlooked, constantly seeing their people on t.v being murdered”   “A 13 year old is already saying she has to change who she is around certain people so that they don't get offended”    “We should be who we are, everywhere we go…unapologetically”    “I have had my full first government name turned into the N word, a racial slur, just like that”    “A surfboard is not going to help us… can we loot some grants”    “It all starts at grassroots level, this is a grassroots level issue, PERIOD”    “All lives matter, we know that… we knew that when we became people instead of property”    “When you say someone's name, you acknowledge that being, you acknowledge their presence... call these people by their full government name because you need to know that you took away someone's mother, son, father, daughter”    “It's very clear cut, how you are supposed to move through your use of force model, from communication tactics, to actual use of force”    “Don't say you don't see color, are you a dog?
