The Coli Isn't Ready: 'The Hate U Give' thread (Inspired by Tupac?)

[@OffHalsted]

It's a good movie

Coli full of 1000000 fake activists that bytch all day about social issues that affect blacks but dont take action in real life.

Plus..the complaints came before the movie dropped. No one complained afterwards.

Stop letting this website pollute your brain lol

And what actions did the movie have?
Any laws or bills put in too place or motion?
Any organizations or charities receive resources?

This will open a conversation for kids for years.

THE HATE U GIVE Giving Page | DonorsChoose.org

Read the donor page... black teachers are using this in Baltimore City Public Schools.

It isn't the best movie but it opens the discussion.

Does much more than what fake coli militants do on here all day

I havent gay trolled in years.
I just started posting again.



I'm not dogging everyone. Just the fake black militants who complain but take no action in real life

This movie is based on a book written by a black woman inspired after the death of Oscar Grant.

I have no problem with a black woman gaining success especially if the movies actually does a great job portraying black people.

It's not a bad movie and the interracial relationship didn't bother me at all

It ain't that deep.

I dont care about who people date like everyone on the coli does.

Have a blessed week bro.
I wish you the best.

The Whites U Wench

I will never forget when they called that movie A Wrinkle in Time, "A Wench in Time."

I was laughing at that shyt for DAYS.

Just read the book cause I been hearing about it for a long time and wanted to know whether to recommend it to kids...really confused about the Coli takes.

The book is a little bit cardboard at times and is way too preachy, you can tell it's written to appeal to a broad audience cause she spells out everything for people who don't get references. But it portrays a wide range of the Black experience (there are numerous successful Black people including a Black female surgeon, Black principal with a Ph.D, Black detective who sticks by his people, Black head pediatric nurse, Black teacher, Black former gangbanger who went straight and became a successful community businessman, Black attorney and activist, academically successful Black students, and numerous Black folk in the hood taking care of each other, even Black gangbangers who doing the right thing looking out for their community) and is actually pretty damn militant.

So there's White savorism in this film.

bytch should be ashamed of herself for trying to piggyback off a dead problack revolutionary's legacy to peddle her hollywood approved white savior propaganda.

So the movie has white saviorism

Can y'all say what White savoirism you talking about? Is the movie different than the book or something? cause there is literally zero White savorism in the book. I can't even think of a white character being portrayed positively other than the boyfriend, and he's not even one of the 10 most important characters in the book, his job is basically to be the white person who shuts up and listens. Every other prominent white character in the book is portrayed negatively.

All this shows is alot of black people(especially black women) want to morph into white liberals. It's their wet dream.

Book actually shyts on most white liberals as fake. One of the main messages of the book is that White liberals need to get off their ass and change their bullshyt, and that a lot of them are probably lowkey racist even if they got Black friends.

This isnt a movie for black people. It's a movie with exaggerated racism in it that white people can look at and say "well that's not me!" And feel good about themselves while they continue to benefit from white supremacy. The problem is not the person shouting racial slurs and being physically hostile to black people. The problem is those who think black people are more or less okay and racism isnt as bad as black people who experience it on an interpersonal and structural level say it is.

This book literally shyts all over EXACTLY those types of White people that you say are the problem. Like the main character beats the crap out of a White girl for being exactly like that.

Usually when a film has a racial component to it, white people must have a positive role in it or must be reassured that they're not hated and that racism is something that boils down to misunderstandings and deep down white people are good and deserving of forgiveness even when they commit unforgivable acts. This is part of the worldview that a lot of white Americans have where white people are all basically good.

Who is the White person who gets forgiven in the movie? It doesn't happen in the books. There isn't the slightest sense that the killer cop is ever forgiven, there aren't any other White cops that are ever portrayed in a positive light, her White friends who pull bullshyt aren't forgiven at all. What are you referring to?

I will never watch a movie that uses the death of black men as a prop for intergration and acceptance from white people (especially white men).

Always some social engineering bullshyt within these 'conscious' movies. Baby boomers/the silent generation tried begging for tha white man's acceptance 50 years ago, see how tht worked out... shyt like this reeks of low self esteem and racial pride... tha fukk i look like extending my hand towards my enemy? U never see movies about Jews trying to guilt nazis into accepting them smh... shyt is something a child would do.

Why did you think the movie is about acceptance from White people? Where are you talking about "extending my hand towards my enemy" or "begging for acceptance"?

At least in the book that literally never happens. When her White friend starts acting racist she cuts her off, and then beats the shyt out of her and never forgives her. When the cops shoot tear gas at her she throws that shyt back and them and never backs down.

Hell, her papa is a Huey Newton/Malcolm X stan, he won't even put a picture of MLK Jr. in his store.

Is the movie way different from the book, cause I don't see that narrative there at all.

Was she with a black guy or not?!?! I need to know.

In the book she has had multiple black boyfriends in the past (they aren't portrayed positively or negatively, they're just mentioned) and the guy who gets shot was her first crush and it's implied that he might be the one she was really meant to be with. It's a White guy that she's actually dating though cause she goes to a White school and doesn't even get the chance to be around Black guys anymore.


I ain't saying it's a great book, but it's a more complex book than I thought it would be (even though it tries to drive home its message in far too heavy-handed a way) and it don't seem to be the story some of y'all making it out to be.

After watching this movie I can conclude that only about 2 or 3 people in this thread actually watched this movie

It wasn't about reaching out to white saviors at all...in fact, it's biggest issue is how it kinda ham-fistedly portrays insensitive white folks in a way that feels more like something picked up from Twitter discourse rather than natural behavior.

I'd recommend reading the prequel book she wrote, Concrete Rose - it's a straight growing up in the hood story detailing Maverick's life when Seven was born and he knocked up Lisa. Set in 98/99. No wenching for y'all to cry about
