"In America, a girl can be crowned a princess for her beauty, and her grace. But an Aztec princess is chosen for her blood. To fight for her people as Papi and his father fought, against those who say we are less than they are, against those who say that we are not equal in beauty or blessings."
Eva, Freedom Writers (via childish-sunrise)

"That’s bullshit. Why should I give my respect to you? Cause you’re a teacher? I don’t know you. How do I know you’re not a liar standing up there? How do I know you’re not a bad person standing up there? I’m not just gonna give you my respect cause you’re called a teacher.
White people always wanting their respect like they deserve it for free."

Freedom Writers (2007)

You hate me? You don’t even know me.

 I know what you can do. I saw white cops shoot my friend in the back for reaching into his pocket, his pocket! I saw white cops come into my house and take my father away for no REASON except they feel like it! Except because they can! And they can, because they’re white. So I HATE white people on sight!
