In "The Hate U Give" Star is black and attends a white school and many people assume things about her because of her race. ]]> 2018-08-23 16:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/274924782 Bein' Green audrey_koenig99 https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/275589039 In the song "Bein' Green," Kermit talks about the struggles of his color much like Star has struggles because of her color. ]]> 2018-08-27 16:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/275589039 Theme- The author believes that even with equal rights, racial assumptions still affect our lives everyday. audrey_koenig99 https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276086329 Angie Thomas focuses on this throughout the entire book. “I’ve seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black." This focuses specifically on how black people tend to be killed because of assumptions about their color and not what they're actually doing. "I wish people like them would stop thinking that people like me need saving.” This is another time when she discusses the fact that people make assumptions based on her color. “Funny how it works with white kids though. It’s dope to be black until it’s hard to be black.” once again people assume things like it's cool to be black without knowing the struggles they go through. ]]> 2018-08-29 01:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276086329 Buffalo Soldier audrey_koenig99 https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276098736 Buffalo soldier talks about an African man who is in America "fighting for survival."

M for making me feel unwanted and undeserving to live in a county known as the "land of the free".
E for everyone locked away just for being dark or just for looking "suspicious".
R for resisting arrest actually meaning just asking "why".
I for insisting that "racism has been dead" since the Civil Rights Movement.
C for calling me a nigger or a colored person when I'm just African American.
A for again sweeping race issues under the rug like anything that actually matters in this country."
This poem discusses struggles similar to the ones Star went through.

This is similar to when Khalil is killed because the officer assumed he was bad so he killed him. ]]> 2018-08-29 03:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276111754 The Hunchback of Notre Dam audrey_koenig99 https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276113368 In the beginning of this movie, the gypsy's mom is killed just for being a gypsy. Frollo assumes that she is bad similar to how one fifteen assumed Khalil was bad. ]]> 2018-08-29 04:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276113368 In Society audrey_koenig99 https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276115543 when a black man walks by at night most people would be more scared then if a white man were to walk by and this is because of racial assumptions. ]]> 2018-08-29 04:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276115543 A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke audrey_koenig99 https://padlet.com/audrey_koenig99/e8wn08jbojdf/wish/276116693 This song talks about how he is asked to leave the movies because of his color.
