Zianna Oliphant, a young girl who could barely reach the podium, wept as she scolded city leadership.
“We are black people and we shouldn’t have to feel like this, we shouldn’t have to protest but y’all are treating us wrong,” she said. “We do this because we need to and we have rights.”

Love how people are like “Stop acting Black” “stop acting white” and all kinds of stuff about acting like a skin color… How can you act a color? Someone teach me how to act Blue. Or Red. Or orange. I don’t get it
PERIODT
I heard this from a song

Joey Bada$$…
Wow
Oh, how cute!
Another black person crying racism.
How about someone ask her about Jussie Smollett? Why is it that her people don't want Jussie Smollett behind bars? Jussie Smollett paid some Nigerians to pretend to beat him up and then tried to blame White Trump Supporters?
But there has been no justice for the lying black man.
She's crying because these dumb ass adults won't speak up
A generational speech the elders forget
I am basically the queen of 5th grade because I am a black girl. And there are only 2 black girls in the 5th grade. This new girl said I was the popular one. But I don’t want to be be the popular one.i wanna be the BLACK BEAUTIFUL GIRL THAT STANDS TALL BECAUSE WE DO HAVE RIGHTS !!
sorry but f### the people that are being racist to different color I'm a Mexican and I know how that feels being bullied if u feel the same way like and for the haters dislike u idiots
Im a black person
😭❤️
What an amazing and strong little girl!
SO SAD. WHEN THEY GET TO AFRICA WE VALUE THEM LIKE ANGELS, BUT WHEN WE GO THERE; THEY TREAT US LIKE TRASH…My God is present.
She is absolutely right. Color does not define us. Our personality, our uniqueness, is what defines us. America, thousands of years ago, was formed under life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We don’t have that anymore. Now, all you see is our families getting killed, beaten, or jailed because of how we look. The superstitions are not always true. People of color are just as human and just as good of people as whites. It’s sad that this young girl is so understanding of the unfair racial treatment and is having to live through this with tears and pain.
She should be living her childhood instead of defending the right she should've never lost
Preach baby girl preach I’m black and I know how she feels but actually a mixed and I feel that I’m treated different my teacher tells me that I can do stuff and that he motivates me and he pushes me to the end where I am hurting the next day that’s my gym teacher my other teachers they look at me and then tell me that I can do it but I don’t feel like they’re doing it for their lives that little girl we’re all human nobody should be treated different black white tan Mexican doesn’t matter we’re all one person well human And we all have rights my teacher today he told me to stand up and run three laps while everybody watches and that was around our gym in our gym is pretty big so running three laps did I was out of breath but then he told everybody to run two laps and they were out of breath and I kept going so then I joined and I kept going this little girl is feeling different because she is black just like me half black half white she should be feeling different I feel different sometimes at school I have missed assignments and my teacher helped me get them done and when I get them done I get to go outside but she shouldn’t be feeling different she should just keep striving she’s beautiful independent and strong just like everybody else I am a girl stay strong everybody push on and never give up

Congrats honey, but your race is doing the same to others and don’t want to acknowledge it which is why nothing is changing for y’all
