But in the end it is still racist and you should apologize for it]]> 2020-11-02 19:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883793700 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883794193 I think starr would define family as anyone that she was related to, or anyone close. Her uncle wasnt part of per close family, but he kinda became part of the family while her dad was in jail. I think she counts Seven as part of her family but I dont know if Kenya counts because they arent that close. Khalil was always just a very good friend. You dont have to be related by blood to be family. You could be very close friends. So i guess Khalil could actually count. I define family by anyone I really love.]]> 2020-11-02 19:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883794193 2024khanz63 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883798680 Starr is feeling bad about everything that happenned to Khalil, and she thinks it's her fault. If something tragic happenned like that and I was a witness, I probably would also feel that way as well.

You could have a perfect swing in baseball and have every mechanic down perfectly, but still strike out. If you "keep doing right" you will eventually get a hit. I definitely agree with this statement.]]> 2020-11-02 19:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883803333 2024khanz63 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883805577 I feel like Minnesota can easily relate to this because of the riots that occurred in Minneapolis. A lot of people who lived in Minneapolis by the riots could feel the same way about their location.]]> 2020-11-02 19:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883805577 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883806150 You can do something really good every time and still fail but if you keep trying it should eventually not fail.

Everyone makes stupid decisions sometimes. They say stupid stuff. But if their intentions were good, can we really call them a racist for making a mistake? I don't think so, and I agree with Starr.]]> 2020-11-02 19:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883812056 2024flind35 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883818430 Starr thinks this because she feels the that questions Gomez was asking weren't going to help get justice for Khalil. I think her mom reacted appropriately, because the assumptions she was making and questions she was asking weren't going to help the case. ]]> 2020-11-02 19:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883818430 2024koncl62 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883836201 It means that you can say something bad to somebody even  if you didn't mean to. I agree because you can do things that hurt people without even knowing your hurting the person but that doesn't mean you didn't hurt the person ]]> 2020-11-02 19:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883836201 2024koncl62 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883848485 They no because the detectives tried to flip the narrative on Khalil instead of the officer. I think they acted appropriately because they did not curse at her or disrespect her even thought she deserved it ]]> 2020-11-02 19:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883848485 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883853331 I agree with this statement because is is true in so many ways. Thousands of things go wrong in everyone's life and its not always there fault. Bad things happen to people everyday. This may be a very eye rolling reference but I love Grey's Anatomy so i'm going to use it anyway. April was pregnant and when her baby was born he died. She did everything right but it still happened. She stopped doing what was right and tried to fix everything. She lost her husband and her faith. It just didn't go well. I think that if she would have kept doing the right thing she would still be married and still have a relationship with god.]]> 2020-11-02 19:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883853331 2024koncl62 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883861299 Starr believes that justice for black people is a rare thing. I think that Justice is giving fair treatment to people based on what they have done but our Justice system treats people based on who they are not what they do I have seen this countless times with black people being arrested or killed by police not because they did something but because they were black take in for example George Floyd ]]> 2020-11-02 19:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883861299 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883869427 Starr feels that way because she was there when it happened. She is the only person who knows exactly what happened. I would feel guilty as well because I would think it was partly my fault he died. ]]> 2020-11-02 19:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883869427 https://padlet.com/ellishadunnigan/18doi5k68qx4sx4s/wish/883879733 Sometimes people say you can't come in here or you can't have this job, and that means that you are racist.

She feels this way because things did not go the way she had hoped it to. If I was in Starr's position I think I would feel the same way.

Everyone has said at least one racist comment but that doesnt mean everyone is racist.

But in other cases it wont and thats because not everyone views right and wrong differently. For example, I could think doing something is good and "the right thing" but my parents think its bad and "the wrong thing".

A close friend of mine could be labeled as family bc he/she has always been there for me and loves me for who i am. Then I have my brothers/sisters who are family bc we are siblings and share the same parents but then I also have people who im related to be blood but they dont care abt me, they dont support me, they've never been there for me and for that i wouldnt label them as family EVEN THO WE SHARE THE SAME BLOOD.

The trama, the things Starr has to worry about, the things her parents ahve to talk abt with her, Chris never had that and thats because he doesn't need to due tp the color of his skin.

Her parents really want her and her siblings to do the best they can. I don't think that you need to be related by blood in order to be family.
