The Hate U Give

The Hate U Give

3. When Starr loses her childhood friend, Kahlil, to a police shooting, she’s surprised by her response, reflecting, “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.” How have you responded to recent police shootings of black people?** How do you imagine you’d respond if you were an eyewitness, like Starr?

This is asking for your personal opinion. I find recent shootings of blacks in the United States heartbreaking. Sometimes, despite the Civil Rights Movement, I think America's racial divide is getting worse instead of getting better.
