The Hate U Give | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX

# data[].attributes.body
"The Hate U Give" stands for for "T.H.U.G LIFE" which is tattooed on Tupac's stomach. In the Novel you read one of Pac's philosophical moments: "Pac said thug life stood for 'the hate u give' little infants fucks everybody...'the hate U--the letter "U"... T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. Meaning what SOCIETY gives us as youth, it bites them in the ass when we wild out" (Thomas 17). When Tupac explains what it means in the clip and when Thomas explains the meaning in the book, it isn't just in each others. It is also within society and how society treats P.O.C [people of colour]and what we see all around us and how we see and treat UNARMED black people and due to that those lives are lost. Main reason being just because they are black.

4 years ago 18 year old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in the small town of Ferguson in the state of Missouri. Michael Brown's story is very similar to Khalil's story. Both Khalil and Michael were shot for no reason by the police. Some think they were shot because they were black, others think they deserved to die because they were "Thugs," "Gangbangers," "Drug dealers," etc. That wasn't the case at all with Michael. Or Khalil.

As we all know living in the lovely era of the 21st century we all have to get our news somewhere. Whether, its from the newspaper, the television, word of mouth, and other major social media platforms. We never really know if the information we are reading or hearing about is "Credible." The only source we can rely on most of all is the people or person that was there first hand. Not a he said she said ordeal. Within the novel, there was a interview with officer One-Fifteen's father (who wasn't even there the night of the incident) to give a statement of the events that had happened that night, which was all false information: "Apparently, Brian pulled the kid over 'cause he had a broken taillight and was speeding. Khalil wasn't speeding."He told me, 'Pop, soon as I pulled him over, I had a bad feeling,...He said the kid and his friend Immediately started cursing him out- we never cursed. And they kept glancing at each other like they were up to something. Brian says that's when he got scared, 'cause they could've taken him down if they teamed up"...There have been reports that Khalil Harris was unarmed when the indecent took place...Brian says he had his back to the kid, and he heard the kid say 'I'm gon' show you ass today. No, no, no. Khalil was asking if I was okay. Brian turned around and saw something in the car door. He thought it was a gun- It was a hairbrush... That's all Khalil and I wanted, and you're making us out to be monsters" (Thomas 246-247). Everything that One-Fifteen's father said in that interview was false. He is making Khalil and Starr out to be the bad guys. That's when all hell broke loose. That's the problem with media in the 21st century you never know the real story unless it is from person A or Person B not from someone that wasn't even there. It is like a game of broken telephone.

Person vs Self   [Starr vs her Emotions]

Emotions. They're an annoying thing. We all have them. Starr especially has her's going all over the place throughout the novel. Whether it's Anger, Sadness, Frustration, or even the thought and the feeling of not seeking enough Justice for Khalil. One part of the book towards the end you can really feel Starr's emotions come out when the riot starts up back in Garden Heights when the grand Jury gives the dissension if One-Fifteen should be charged or not: "The crowds are too thick. we climb on top of a bus stop bench to get a better view of everything going on. King Lords in gray bananas and Garden Disciples in green bananas stand on a police car in the middle of the street, chanting "Justice for Khalil!" People gathered around the car record the scene with their phones and throw rocks at the windows. "Fuck that cop, bruh"... "Killed him over nothing!" (Thomas 393). Starr and everyone around has the same emotion. Anger. Hate. Later on in the riot Starr gets to the east side, where the incident happened. A protest is happening with the "Just Us for Justice". That's when Starr's attorney and leader of "Just Us for Justice" April Ofrah, sees Starr and tells her the most empowering thing one can say: "Who said talking isn't doing something?... its more productive than silence. Remember what I told you about your voice? [said April] You said it's my biggest weapon" (Thomas 410). Starr put all of her emotions into telling the cops to [pardon my language] fuck off: "My name is Starr Carter. I'm the one who saw what happened to Khalil... And it wasn't right... We weren't doing anything wrong. not only did Officer Cruise assume we were up to no good, he assumed we were criminals. Well, officer Cruise is the criminal... Until you give us a reason to think other wise, we'll keep protesting" (Thomas 411-412). She used her biggest weapon. Her voice. that's the biggest weapon any person could have.

The song from the Netflix show "Star" talks about the reason P.O.C's get shot all the time in America. In the hook of the song they sing:  "America. The beautiful. America. The Murderer. America. The Funeral. America. God Bless America." (End Hook 1) The singers sing about how America is so beautiful, but what lies underneath all the beautiful aspects of America is really the ugliness of the murders, and mass of funerals. Another part, of the song talks about "If they'd just put they hands up. Wouldn't reach for my handgun. They just can't cause they don't understand us. (End of Verse 2) "They" is the cops. That is who the singers address, like Khalil if he hasn't have moved and done what he was told (put they hands up) he wouldn't have gotten shot, but "Wouldn't reach for my handgun. They just can't cause they don't understand us." "They" being the cops again they think if he/she is black they're up to something. so they always reach for they're handgun. Just like Officer One-Fifteen reached for his gun and shot Khalil.
