The sad thing about this book is that no one cared about Khalil's death until they found out that he was shot by a white cop, it should not have mattered that the cop was white people should have been supportive from the beginning. As Starr states in the book “Once upon a time there was a hazel-eyed boy with dimples. I called him Khalil. The world called him a thug.
He lived, but not nearly long enough, and for the rest of my life I'll remember how he died". a young girl should never have to go though life thinking that her friend was a "thug" because of his skin color.

I’ve Tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down.
Now I am that person, and I’m too afraid to speak". this happends way to often and it actually connects to me i constantly stand up for people and makes them feel better but when it comes to me i cant stop thinking about it and how much it kind of hurts.]]> 2018-09-05 17:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlyn_johnson72/rvq1fmba1rey/wish/278087040
