I thinkthis means that just because someone is racist, you should still try your hardest to accomplish whatever it is you are doing. You should never let someone make you feel like nothing and should still try your best.

I think this means that if someone is discriminating you and you let that person get to you then it means that you are using that as an excuse to not do your best. It also means that if you let that person get to you you are proving that you are what they claim you to be. So, you must not let anyone get to you...no matter what people think of you.

I think that this means that if you get criticized by people, that it shouldn't be so bad that you can't succeed in life. If white people think that we're colored, then think of it this way, when they're sick, they're green, when they're in the sun, they turn red, when they're cold, they turn blue, and when they'll die, they'll be purple. So who's colored now?

What i think about this quote is that you shouldn't let anyone put you down with racism because its no excuse to not suceed in life and accompplish great things. Ignorant people are raices and no one has the right to walk over you...you can always do your best

This means that if your being discriminated that shouldn't stop you of doing your best that would just be a excuse, but you could do your best and pass every obstacle
that comes your way .

people who are judged by racism often are put down but never kept down. every black legen from yesterday was in the time of racism but they maded it through and became a legen. if they can do it at the biggest time of racism then we can do it now

i don't really get this quote at all, but i guess that this quote means that don't ever try really hard just because you think that a certain race is better than you, thats racism right there.

I THINK THIS QUOTE MEANS THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE FROM A DIFFERENT RACE DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T TRY YOUR BEST. YOU SHOULD GIVE 120% EACH TIME. YOU SHOULD TRY YOUR HARDEST AND TRY EVEN HARDER TO ACHEIVE YOUR GOALS IN LIFE.

i think this quote means that racism is not what stops you from doing something it is you the individual that stops you from doing something you can do whatever and be what ever you want to be.

i think what that stae=tement means is that calling someone racist is not an excuse for you to say you cant achieve something. Unlesss they really dont like you and fail you in a class or somehting.

This quote means to me that you should'nt let the color of your skin or your race stop you form suceeding. Even if it is people that want to stop you from suceeding you shold not let them put you down or stop you from accomplishing your dreams.

Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.

It is not an excuse because people out there just want to put you down and make you feel like you are nothing, that is there purpose
and if you really let it get to you then you're gonna fail, you have to overcome these situations because there are always gonna be people rooting for you to fail and thats just part of life

Blogger Andrea Wallace said...

i think that this quote means that if someone is very mean and racist towards you then you dont just give up. you keep on tryin your best and dont let anyone get the best of you and when you accomplish your goal and when you accomplish the goal you set for yourself then you can be what you want and you wont have to worry about people being all down your neck. and you can ignore people that once made you feel bad you can now tell them to kiss your a**. and you dont have to listen to their bull anymore.

I think this means that it is not an excuse to do something you can do just becuase most of the people of a different race do it the most. Nothing should stop you from doing the best you can. You shouldn't be put down from another race. Racism shouldn't let you get put down.

I don't really get the quote so i'm just gonna say that it means that you shouldn't be put down because everyone else is a racist. you have to perservere and not let anyone put you down. well i think that is what it means or it probably means thatwhen some one puts you down with a racial slur or some thing it doesnt mean you have to work harder, because you should always work your hardest.well that is what i think this quote means .

i guess this means even though you are of a diffrent race but surrounded in a enviroment were you dont feel your respected and is a place you have to work and yourgiving your color the excuse of not doing right or good cause your not the same as others.well i think that isn't a good reason because it depends on you nobody else if you put your head to what your doing and not on what other people think or are saying about you maybe it wont affect you and you will achieve anything that come your way.

i think that this means that if people are racist that still doesnt mean that you have to be put down all the time and it takes the fun out of everything.

I think that this quote means that if u want to do something that can help our world to become better you should be like oh if I become president of the Humane Society I will have to help dogs and I don’t like dogs. Also if you really want to achieve and make the world some what better racism shouldn’t be an obstacle.

IN MY OPINION, I THINK THAT THE QUOTE "Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can", MEans THAT WHATEVER RACE U ARE IS A CHALLENGE FOR EXAMPLE LATINOS, WHITE, OR AFRICAN AMERICANS, OR ANCIENT. I BELIEVE THAT RACISM IS A REALLY BAD THING AND I WAS HEARING ABOUT A STORY YESTERDAY THAT MY MOM TOLLD ME , SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS DRIVING BY MORNING SIDE AND SHE SAW A LATINA GURL WALKING AND THAT SHE WAS PAIL AND MY MOM SAW HER PANICING AND THEN MY MOM KNEW THAT SOMEONE WAS FOLLOWING HER AND THEIR WAS 2 AFRICAN GUYZ IN A CAR AND 3 AFRICAN FEMALES AND THEY GOT OFF THE CAR A ND BEAT THE GURL SO THATS WHEN MY PARENTS CALLED THE COPS AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS AROUND HERE , IT ALSO HAPPENED IN LONG BEACH AND I JUST THINK THAT ALL THAT IS REALLY STUPID AND IF A PERSON HAS BEAF W/ ANOTHER PERSON THEY SHOULD HANDLE IT ONE ON ONE AND NOT PUZZY OUT AND BRING A WHOLE GRIP OF PPL

WHAT THIS QUOTE MEANS IS THAT NO MATTER WHO TRIES TO PUT U DOWN IT SHOULDN'T BE AN OBSTACLE IN YOUR WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE. YOU SHOULDN'T LET ANYONE STOP YOU FROM BECOMING WHO YOU WANT JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT PEOPLE OF YOUR COLOR CANT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. IF SOMEONE EVER TELLS YOU THAT INSTEAD OF GIVING UP TRY HARDER TO PROVE THEM WRONG.

i think this means that racism isnt a reason why to give up. i think that its a way to gain strength to make you succeed in life. for example, us Mexicans we are called beaners and that shouldnt bug us because do what you do that isnt going to change. Make those comments be strength to make you shine and go higher than any one else.

I THINK THAT THIS QUOTE MEANS MEANS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLET QILL PUT YOU DOWN BECAUSE OR YOUR RACE. THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF DOWN TOO. ALSO IF YOU YOU ARE BEING TOLD THAT YOU CANT DO THE THING YOU DO BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE THEN YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR BEST TO PROVE THEM WRONG AND NOT BE AGRREING WITH THEM

i agree with this quote because many people don't do their best when it comes to race. for example uh..there might be stereotypes that this race is no good and all this kind of other things. Many people from that specific race starts believing it since thats what they here almost everyday.people then start to slack off and start thinking that they are really not nothing in this world due to the fact that they have been stereotyped like that and its not an excuse to not do your best because it doesn't matter your color what matters is the inside and your skills
