Tyra sends a message to Richard's community, reminding them that just as they face prejudice for being black and Latino, people like Richard face prejudice for being gay -- and it's wrong to attack him.

Tyra i have to let you kno that i have felt this way also and i am only 13!!! I have a mexican father and a white mother. I do not get the segration as bad as most adults and even kids, but i do get it. I hear racial jokes against mexicans and i often hear some of my white friends steriotype mexican to be poor, criminals, and illegial. i can not stand it. when i was in third grade i prayed everynight that God would make my skin lighter and my eyes blue and my hair blond so i could fit in with my other friends.
 
Hey Tyra, I am Jamaican and did not know colour or race until I went to school in Canada. In Jamaica we do not even notice colour! When someone asked me in Canada if I had a black friend, I had to think about it, guess what my best friend was black. What Americans need to do is stop defining yourselves by the colour of your skin. You all put some much emphasis on your president being the first black president instead of just being a president. If I said what what type of Jamaican I am e.g. African American, I would have to say I am English, Scottish, Jewish Jamaican, yes I am white! Never would have guessed because I am Jamaican. To reply to say i am white Jamaica or list all my ancestry (which is very selective (Tiger Woods/President Obama) really sounds silly doesn't it. So I am a proud Jamaican! Rebecca
 
Tyra, I love your show. You touch alot of topics that are essential to the youth today (Especially fashion tips). So many young girls are wearing very reviling clothes and you show them how to look classy and cute. But I have a problem. I'm a slim girl but I have a gut problem. How can I cover the stomach and not look like my grandma?
 
brenda loveyou tyras

Hi Tyra. I'm one of your biggest fans. However, I tried several times to submit stories to you concerning several topics on your show and I realized that you only cover the USA in your submission form. Well, I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, so I guess I don't count in deserving to be a part of your show. This really disappoints me cuz it means that the rest of the world can't share their stories with your audience.
 
hi tyra you are the best dont miss yuor show for nothing from trinidad

Tyra you are amazing. This is so powerfull and it made me cry. You are so right when you say that look at the person as a human being. Love you Tyra! PEACE
 
TYRA! Oh my god, I was crying during that show...I can't believe how classless, rude, and just downright CRUEL humans can be to other humans. Im so glad you stepped in, and comforted Richard, and showed him where he can feel good, and receive love. As nice and great as that is, it's still sad that a person can't walk down the street and get that same respect. I, like you, loveee the gays! I just wanted to hug Richard, and say, IT'S OKAY TO BE GAY!!
