I think... I'm perceived as an everyperson. There is no pedestal. I'm no different from anybody else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not better than anyone else. I'm not supposed to be on a pedestal. I've always stayed away from that.
I'm not set on a pedestal where I think I'm too high and mighty.
If you're put on a pedestal, you're supposed to behave yourself like a pedestal type of person. Pedestals actually have a limited circumference. Not much room to move around.
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.
I think that, as African-Americans, oftentimes we have to put ourselves on pedestals as opposed to really looking at ourselves and trying to understand ourselves and become better people. We always have to be on pedestals.
I always see myself as, like, equal to everyone.
I am human. I don't think I ever put myself out there to be somebody that was perfect. I put myself out there as somebody who wanted to serve the public.
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I just want to be reasonably successful and live a normal life with all the conveniences to make it so.
I'm just really supportive of everyone - even though I believe that things should be equal, people have different circumstances in their life that have taught them to be who they are. Even if I don't agree with them, I don't judge them. I'm a really non-judgmental person.
We have to put people on pedestals; otherwise, there's no one to knock off pedestals.
