In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.- MLK jr.

This quote relates to Starr not speaking up in fear of what might happen to her, if her name gets out or what not.

In the movie Malcom X, one of the first scenes illustrates what it looks like when police officers are beating an innocent man, which then led to a march to the hospital to draw attention to the situation, just like the riots in the hate u give are trying to do.

In this picture a riot broke out about shootings that happened to innocent black people. Just like in The hate u give when riots broke out.

Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society.- Morrissey

The stereotype growing up was that Black people were always in the wrong doing. One white cop killed an innocent man turned everyday into a war.

Although slavery may have been abolished, the crippling poison of racism still persists, and the struggle still continues.- Harry Belafonte

This book takes place in the 21th century. Slavery was not occurring at the time, but racism was. It was shown through a white police officer shooting an unarmed black man and word going around that he was a gangster, or drug dealer.

How people in Starr's town get money is mostly by drug dealing and gangs are involved. A movie that relates to Starr's home life is Boyz n the hood. It shows the roughness of wear she lives and the gangs that evolve.

A movie that reminds me of Chris and Starr is The boy in the Striped Pajamas. Even though Bruno and Shmuel are different, they put their differences aside and are friends even though according to stereotypes they shouldn't be.

In a way this picture relates to The hate u give by how Starr was the only black person at her school other than her two other siblings.

In the help they have slaves, which is a sign of racism. In the book, racism is shown through the parents having to give their black children the talk about how to act around police officers.

“I can't change where I come from or what I've been through, so why should I be ashamed of what makes me, me?”- The hate u give

“It's dope to be black until it's hard to be black.” - The hate u give

“People like us in situations like this become hashtags, but they rarely get justice. I think we all wait for that one time though, that one time when it ends right.” - The hate u give

The theme for the book The hate u give is racism. The main plot is about Khalil, Starr's friend getting shot, who was an unarmed black man. The person who shot Khalil was a white police officer, which relates back to police brutality along with racism. The book evolves around Starr and how she is dealing with witnessing first hand her friend getting shot.

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.
-Rosa Parks

I choice this quote because one of the main themes in the book is about how Starr goes to a mostly white school and then goes home to the "ghetto".
