Yes. It’s probably at an all-time high. We have a president who doesn’t
care for people of color. People are blatant with their racism. — Corlis Melchior, Loan Administrator, Roxbury

I think black people are very forgiving in their attitudes toward whites. Look at the people who forgave
Dylan Roof. — Christian Williams, Attorney, Roxbury

I think it depends on where you are. In Boston right now there’s a lot of resentment against whites because of gentrification. — Dale Peters, Community Health Worker, South End

For the most part, I don’t think
they do. Not like white people have toward blacks. — James, Welder, South End

I would say so. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious. As a people, we have been oppressed for centuries. — Khalida Smalls, Organizer, Jamaica Plain

Yes. White people enslaved black folks. — Roger Omar Kenner, Student, Boston
