This movie was dumb as fuck and so was the main character. Before he died they hadn't talked in years and there was NO REASON at all for her to go on Tv and confirm he was a drug dealer. And the movie made you feel like blaming everything on King was some solution. Movie was TRASH. The book was pretty good.
@@Amethyst._.geo69 the comment states "the cop" meaning the one in the movie which the girl portrays in this scene. This person didn't need to specify "not all cops",with your logic that would mean a comment about a man raping someone would need a sentence stating "not all men" it's an unnecessary comment to add because the comment doesn't have any problematic opinions. They are only appreciating the acting and the well thought out scene. No where in my comments was an opinion on the scene in the video. Therefore your argument is invalid because it's presumed.
@@def_not_Marie yeah people tend to shut down things fast when they don't agree with it . They were talking about a specific incident with a cop and she decided to show the white girl what happened to that man for simply having a hairbrush.
In his hand yes, “what about in my hand?” My jaw dropped for this sentence I feel like it’s not looked at enough, it’s such a like powerful sentence of a teaching lesson. It can really show you people can just ignore the fact just because it’s her friend it doesn’t matter.
@@AaliyahL4life-v1z I'd never talk with her again... She was abusive to that girl, throwing her at ground like that and scaring her...to the pount she ugly crys...just because she didn't like what she said. Scary shit
As someone who read the book AND watched the movie, this scene is taken out of a lot of context. But to those arguing that “anyone acting like that would be scary with a hairbrush” the boy who was killed didn’t do anything with the brush, he wasn’t acting violent whatsoever and simply grabbed the brush to brush his hair, and he was shot and killed for it. Edit: wow I’ve started a war in the replies. Anyway, to everyone saying “oh the cop panicked” “oh what would you do?” Forget that. Even if the cop panicked and shot him, there is no reason he should ever be shooting to KILL and if I’m not mistaken, he shot him three times. Cops are trained to keep their cool. That officer didn’t have justified reasons to shoot Khalil, and if you’re defending that cop, you are absolutely in the wrong. If it was a black cop and a white kid, the cop would be in the wrong let’s be real. 😐
@@alvinv.5980I was about to say that, in the movie it’s genuinely so dumb, the police guy told him to stay where he was and he didn’t listen and reached into his car window and started brushing the side of his hair?? Book was way better tbh
Context. In the movie, both the girl and her friend had been pulled over by the police. She grew up being taught about police brutality. Thus, she was very careful during the confrontation. He, however, was not. He knew they hadn't done anything wrong, so he was very nonchalant about the entire thing. He reached in the car to grab his hairbrush and got killed. Later on, the police tried to justify it because he was a drug dealer. A fact that they didnt know until after he was dead.
This is why you’re told to keep your hands on the wheel when pulled over. I could be reaching for my wallet and from the outside to could be anything. You put your hands on the wheel, and announce what you’re doing, move slowly, and don’t jerk around.
@glowhoo9226 Yes, that's what we know now. However, even today, there are many white populations who geninually have no fear of the police. The thought of having to keep their hands on the wheel and announce every movement is baffling to them. It wasn't until Police Brutality became a problem that was actually acknowledged or talked about that any white person had to be worried, unless having previous bad experiences with police. Remember, people are told that if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear.
Yes but he wasn’t being threatening he went to the car to check on Starr who was in the backseat and maybe he shouldn’t have opened the door and he’d still be alive maybe in jail but alive
Bro I don't care if the man was or was not holding a weapon you never tell ANYBODY who is grieving "Your friend was gonna die eventually" Girl had it coming to her, phenomenal actresses.
It could be because the base line arguement most people agree with. Though there is obvious issues with how the situation was handled that people do think won't be obvious.
As someone with psychopathic traits I’ve ran TOWARDS a couple of guys who had pulled guns at each other to see what was going to happen. My own safety didn’t even cross my mind. Only afterwards I realized that was stupid based on the reaction of my friends
This also happened to me and my sister. In the bus, there was a lady and she came in and I accidentally stepped on her foot and she really got angry and she yelled at me and was saying that I should go back to my country and you black poor family and she accused my sister of holding a knife in her handbag and the police did nothing but just told US to go home and he went to the lady and asked her if she was ok or if she was threatened. But we were calm and did nothing about it but just stare in disbelief.
Okay, that is just racism, disrespectful and rude from both the cop and woman. You didn’t even do anything wrong, you accidentally stepped on her foot, it’s not that big of a deal?? Like you didn’t kill her whole neighborhood or family. 😭💀
Yes but mostly it's yt ladies doing it when they see black men and you know that's exactly what she meant. (Don't read that as every yt woman and black man.)
That’s the not issue that the movie is pointing out, ofc you can be cautious but a lot of white women use this excuse to be racist. ‘Because I’m just protecting myself against men’ 🥺 but they don’t have the same energy for white men. They only protect themselves around men of colour and that’s racism.
@sufiahempire7364 no you're completely ruining the message. You should 1000% react if you feel like you're in danger but if you only feel like you're in danger because of your own racist prejudice and not because the person is actually threatening then all you're really doing is putting the other person's life in jeopardy
I clutch my bag when anyone’s around, no matter their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or any other matter. Some of us just have social anxiety 😭 I won’t hate nobody unless there’s good reason
@@EeveelutionStormI meant when people clutch their purse near a black person. If that’s not a micoagression, I’d like to hear you explain to me what is. I’m simply trying my best to explain it, there’s no need to be rude. Also I was in a rush trying to explain it.
@@EeveelutionStorm I see what you mean rereading what I said over, I changed up what I said because I didn’t want to come across as rude so I tried to edit it trying to sound more nicer and condense it to be smaller and tried doing all of that in a rush so it all became kind of messy
@@eliiphics I'm not racist, but I clutch my purse around every skin and race, because just because someone is of a certain background, doesn't meant they're a good person either. That's common sense. Out of context (which I'm familiar with the context as I read the book when I was a teen) THIS particular clip looks like Star is the aggressor and when you tried to explain it, you sounded aggressive too. That's from being told to always keep a good grip on your belongings in public, so your belongings don't wind up someone else's. I always thought this was a poor set up for the plot, personally and I think it's a weak argument, because anyone can be a thief of any background. Clutching your purse and taking a few steps to the side to make sure your safe, isn't it... because i'd do it regardless of background, or gender. It's a poor argument that clutching one's purse is a micro-aggression. What you later edited in, were good examples. Being safe and protecting yourself, isn't racism, because you don't know someone's background. I wasn't trying to be rude either, but thanks for taking it as a critique which it was, versus a personal attack. :)
@@EeveelutionStorm yes I agree with you. I wasn’t trying to say that people who clutch their purse near a black person are automatically racist, they might do that around anyone. the way that i interpreted this scene was that she was saying clutching your purse *only* around black people makes you racist because you dont have to say the n-word to be racist. the point i was trying to make was that the girl just used that as an example in the moment and all the comments are talking about that one specific line and not getting the point of this clip. i’m not the best at putting my thoughts into words so i feel like theres a bunch of others that could have explained it a million times better than i did but i tried my best to explain my thoughts. i think my original comment just sounds so completely off from what i wanted to say so i’m just gonna delete it at this point 👍 Also rereading your comment over, that makes more sense. I personally haven’t ever seen the movie or the book, so i just made judgements off this scene alone
"Violence doesn't care about skin colour" HOLY. Quote of the day for me. No context needed, this quote means something because truly, violence is violence. It doesn't matter who you are. I'm not scared of anyone until they show me I should be scared.
it seems like she was acting how the cops act to show the white girl how hard it actually is to follow police instruction when they're panting a gun at you and yelling
@@kgorilla2 did you watch the movie? He didn’t move. While there are cases where people have moved grab something ran there have been plenty of cases of people just having their hands up and not moving and still being shot still being aggressively attacked and for what? That is the point that the black girl is trying to make. And not every black person in college got in from affirmative action. That just shows your uneducated dumb opinion instead of logical facts.
@@meeringmeetings lets make it simple for people like you 1: dont care about drug dealers 2: thinking that a drug dealer is dangerous is not racist but logical and has nothing to do with his or her race Hope this helped.
@@kojouakatsuki1648 I said 40 year old men not women, because I am a (female) minor and I think it’s reasonable to not be completely comfortable around 40 year old male strangers. I will obviously not act in defense unless they do something to make me.
They are both wrong. And that point is missed by a lot of people. Yes, the white girl was totally wrong for what she said, however, the black girl proved her point with her actions. She proved that a hairbrush can look like a weapon depending on how the person is acting with it, as she managed to scare the other girl…who knew it was a hair brush. The officer didn’t know that the guy had a hairbrush, and could only rely on the way he was acting and that he had something in his pocket. Violence begets more violence. This clip is a very good example on how racism affects both sides, as both sides have their own experiences, issues, and biases…regardless if they own up to that. I can only hope that everyone tries to end this disease that has affected everyone, no matter their race.
What? The black girl was not wrong no matter how someone is acting it is a still a hair brush an officer should know how to keep calm until they know FOR A FACT that it’s a gun. Officers are human yes but they must be above all that because that is the vow they took. To serve and protect not to serve and protect themselves. The black girl was proving that’s how it feels to have an ACTUAL GUN pulled on you by an officer and was proving that the white girl was scared just because she was black. “Violence begets violence” not in this case like I said an officer should be above that. Simple
@@huberzarco5732 I don’t know the movie so I can’t speak to it. What I do know is that if a white person came at me with a hairbrush like that, I would, of course, assume that they’re violent and a threat. So, I don’t think she proved any points with this but I’ll have to watch the movie.
Guys, you missed the point, at least in the book she confronts Hailey (Sabrina) cause she is racist, she stops following Starr becuse she posts about police brutality un Tumblr and about BLM, and starts to marginalize her, not wanting to hand out with Starr anymore saying she didn't have to post those "horrible things", makes a joke about her asian friend eating cat for Christmas, tells Starr her friend deserved being killed and badmouths him, she IS really racist. In the book Khalid didn't grab the brush, it was in the door and the police "mistook" it for a gun (becuse of the racist mentality that he obviously would have one since he's black), thinking he was going to grab it, sl they shoot him. During this argument Hailey starts talking shit abojt Khalid and Starr snaps at last after being through a lot and it gets physical, not like in the movie
either so the girls are both in the wrong because in order to have a great example of how being racist isn't cool, is engaging in communication. Not resorting to violence. This is wrong on so many levels... the white girl will just remember who made her terrified..

I'm clutching my purse if ANYONE steps into the elevator. I've heard too many stories. "ThAt'S nOt ThE pOiNT oF thE ViDeO-🤓" I do not care. I never said it was. I shared my own personal opinion on a related video. If you can't understand that, don't bother commenting literal brainrot. Not every comment has to be copy/paste the SAME VIEW. We all know racism is bad, get over yourselves and stop being rude in the replies. It's not my problem if you can't understand.
Yes but the behaviour she’s talking about is doing it in instances that it’s obvious you (subconsciously) think black people are thieves. Like for example being in an elevator with non-black people and then clutching it when the blk person gets on or being in exaggerative with it like staring them down while you do it
@@yessum15 Yes they are. Same with me. I clutch my things in elevators, subways and any other forms of public transport. And it doesn't matter what is the race of the stranger I'm there with (tho it's probably someone white. Not many black or asian people in my country) they can still be a thief.
I really loved the book and the movie adaption. My favorite thing about it is that Star is played by the amazing Amandla Stenberg and I remember back when she was Rue in The Hunger Games people dragged her through the mud because they hadn't even taken a second to actually read the book and realize Rue was a black girl all along.
@@user-tp1dl1tf3ufirst of all no everyone's lives matter and either way if it was a white man she probably would've done the same exact thing clutching a purse is fine especially if its a drug dealer and no im not defending this behavior because im racist its because it was also the persons opinion
If you actually believe that black people don't ever notice something like that whenever they stand next to a white person, then you're horribly wrong because trust me, they'll always notice you doing that.
@@Landotp I don’t know it’s specifically with black people I’m just saying that if she does then it’s not okay because in the short the black girl mentions the white girl holds the purse when black people come in the elevator
Before you come for me, i do like sabrina. But this clip was lame to try to showcase her abilities, cuz im pretty sure ive seen much better performances from her, she was not the main focus and it shows. Amandla handled that scene and had all eyes on her, as it shouldve been for this scene.
The point of this clip was to show her how an ACTUALLY threatening situation with a hairbrush would look like She showed the white gurl the difference between threatening and non-threatening , by showing the threatening version herself , as compared to the non-threning version of the boy who was killed or rather MURDERED by the police for no reason
I saw the scene , her friend was standing out of his vehicle and was told to keep his hands on the top of the car while the officer checked his info, and when the officer turned his back the guy reached the inside of the car to grab a brush. According to several police officers (my uncle used to be in the force) there is nothing more st*pid to do than to reach for anything inside of your car without telling the officer, because they are trained to always think anything can happen, because anything CAN happen, the officer couldn't possibly know it was a brush, he saw the kid pulling an object that was all black and confused it for a gun (the incident happened at night). However the cop was completely in the wrong, he had no reason to pull them over in the first place, Let alone made the kid step out, on top of that he is supposed to say something before shooting, the second he sees him reaching for something he is supposed to go "Hands where I can see them!" He can't just shoot. The girl is right, his friend was killed out of prejudice and fear, but it was pretty stupid to use the brush to explain her point because reaching for ANYTHING in the car when you are pulled over, let alone if you waited for the cop to turn his back on you is a huge mistake, You wouldn't believe how many shady people have shot officers to escape after they got pulled over.
I like how she proved her point by treating her the way the cops treated her friend. It was to help her understand why it’s so hard to follow instruction when you’re having a panic attack and being threatened even though both parties know damn well you don’t have a weapon. I can’t believe she would have the balls to say that to her face, though like she would know her friend better than the news.
she actually proved 2 things- 1st is the one you mentioned. and 2nd is that people can think the brush is a weapon if you behaved aggresively like that.
Pencil is a weapon in John wick's hand, anything can be a weapon in the right hand. But that is not the argument here, if you have seen the movie then you will get this scene
a lot of y’all in this comment section r so slow…if u actually watch the movie instead of making assumptions from a youtube short, you would see that the white girl was pretty racist the whole movie and in this scene she was talking about Khalil, a black male who died because of a racist cop. since that was starr’s (the black girl) friend she was angry and the white girl for being racist to him
almost anything can be used as a “weapon” If being technical. She wasn’t afraid of the brush thinking it was a weapon but what she (Star)might do with it. Even this doesn’t represent the situation and what happened. He wasn’t aiming and swinging anything at the officer. He unfortunately was too comfortable thinking he can handle the situation recklessly. He didn’t go in his pocket but him reaching in his car looked highly suspicious. From what I remember he even brushed his hair like 2 times before being shot so I don’t know how the officer felt he was being aggressive
@@shaebubblegum3212 She is saying the reaction of the cop was overeacting. They both should have thought I think. This is my opinion, so you dont like it? Non of my business 💀😊
Tries to make an argument about not all black people being a threat or violent, proceeds to be threatening and violent. Great writing guys, real subtle.
I’m Black, and I’ve actually seen ppl do this, even a few times to me. Not a lot at all, but sometimes. Ppl can be real idiots, morons, being racist for no reason. Someone actually called me a “ white person “ in a game once just because I said sm that lit didn’t even matter ( I don’t even remember it, srry ). Accusing ppl, especially black ppl, IS NOT FREAKING OK!! Some ppl need to realize and learn that. Never accuse ppl of being bad ppl, and never judge a book by its cover, OR color, for that matter. 💔❤️🔥❤️🩹💖
Yall are missing the point.. "I clutch my purse anywhere" okay?? This is SPECIFICALLY because of his race. Were yall not listening to what she was saying? "You're different star", LIKE??
Omg ikr like people apparently didn't catch that part (more like ignore it imo) and act like sabrina character was just misunderstood. That "you're different" is racist people favourite thing to say to that one poc friend they got. I work with some really nice old lady who often seems to forget my origin. She will say the most unhinged thing about my community and then add that "not you though" afterwards.
Tw: Mentions of a person being shot I wrote this because I’m extremely passionate about this book and movie. To people saying that “Haley is right”or “they’re both in the wrong”you obviously haven’t read the book or seen the movie. Star, the black girl, went through severe trauma by seeing her friend get shot and killed by a cop because he was black and deemed a “threat”. The hairbrush is because her friend who died, Khalil, got pulled over by a cop with her and was asked to step outside the car the cop then went to his police car to register Kahlil’s license. While the cop was at his car Khalil started to jokingly brush his hair while talking to Star through the car window, which was a stupid move but he’s not at fault for his death so don’t write “well he shouldn’t have done that in front of the cop”, and so the cop shot him saying he thought it was a gun from the distance he was at. The cop may have thought it was a gun from far away but were Khalil a white man he would’ve tried to confirm it was a gun before shooting him, this was talked about in another scene with her uncle who is a black cop. After this case was put on the news Haley said she felt bad for the police officer and disregarded Kahlil’s life saying he was probably a drug dealer and the cop just made a simple mistake, it was not a “small mistake” because a kid died! Star was angered by this because her friend died but everyone said the cops life was ruined but *what about Kahlil’s life?* he lost his future but no one cared because they just assumed he deserved it because he’s black, her friend said this because it wasn’t revealed that Star was the witness of this case. Even though Star was being aggressive it was completely fair, because she went through something horrible and saw someone she loved die in her hands (she held him as he bled out) so her lashing out is more than reasonable because she is a teen and a victim so her anger at the world and at Hailey, for not getting what happened, is fully understandable. Outbursts of anger are very common for those under high levels of stress or for those who have major trauma so that is why her lashing out in this scene is fair. Also, for people to say “but I would still hold my purse no matter the race” in the comments *that’s not the point* . Because now you are being ignorant to the fact that the point of this scene is that Haley is an ignorant white girl and that people keep ignoring racism as long as it benefits white people. Of course the hairbrush is scary in this scene for Hailey but in Kahlil’s situation the cop assumed the hairbrush was a gun because he was black that’s why Star used a hairbrush in this because she was so heartbroken that no one cared that her friend was killed over a hairbrush. I love this book so I hate it when people can’t get the message and still stick with the white people just like *everyone* in the story. I may not have worded this the best, but I hope you get the context of this scene now and understand Stars aggression. Also, how even in a story where racism is so apparent people still like to back up white people, even if it’s subconsciously. Fun fact to light up the mood the actress of Star also played Rue in the first Hunger Games movie
@@Max_Griswald It seems to me that you just disregarded everything this person wrote. I know this doesn't justify her outburst, but how would you feel if you were in her position? As someone who hasn't seen the movie or read the book, I appreciate the context behind this scene.

Not in the man’s hands tho if u watched the movie u can see that the hairbrush never even exit the car he was holding it through the window whilst standing outside the car and the cop was far away and js shot him leading to his death
@@Katiebo008 if the plushie is long enough you could choke someone with it If the plushie is thick enough you can shove into someone's mouth and cause damage in their throat A child can eat it and need emergency surgery for it In the right hands anything can be a weapon As you saw in the video that hair brush was probably hard enough to cause head damage to that white girl
The guy wasn’t acting like this though. Back turned and grabbed a brush. Unless he grabbed and turned around fast like he had a gun..he posed no threat at all. Any officer that took his vows with good intentions would’ve saw that boy wasn’t trying to hurt him. Sh**ting would’ve been the last resort.
Yeah exactly he put it on his head bro and wasn’t facing the cop he was lit talking to the girl in the car and then he got shot like bruhv? Multiple times too

@@killianmccluff36drug dealer or not. Khalil wasn't aggressive to the cop, wasn't even facing him in the first place. He deserved to have his day in court. That and Hailey was wrong to be racist towards black people and treat Starr as "one of the good ones", which is not a compliment when she just disrespected her race AND her friend. Star shows how she is both capable of scaring, like ANYBODY is, not just based on race, but also how it feels to have a weapon pulled on you and having directions yelled at you.
The worst thing to do to a friend whether the problem be as small as being upset by teasing or a large problem like being a victim of racism, it’s the worst when you deny your friends experiences and feelings even though you’ve never lived their life
How is saying she is different than a drug dealer and different than the demographic causing 50% of crime racist. Do you even know the definition of that word.
The problem with skits from movies is that only people who have watched the movie can give good judgement. Judging from one scene is taking a story out of context. The message is clear. It's not saying "be loose with your property", it's saying that more often than not, racist people tend to clutch their things in the presence of black people than they do in general. This is because of a predisposition that all black people are criminals. However, not all black people are criminals, the same way not all white people are good persons. Treating a race, gender with such generalised predispositions make one a racist or sexist person. Simple!
If someone is using something as a weapon then it’s a weapon Edit: sorry for any confusion, I meant that the guy who just had the hairbrush in his bag wasn’t using it as a weapon, but the girl hitting the other girl with it was.
It’s also a book. I forget if there’s a sequel or not but if I remember right it’s supposed to be an acronym for thug life. Very ridiculous thing to wright, because of the fact that it causes people to see division in places where it doesn’t exist. But that could also be said about many other things and the ideas that I know the book portrays are the ideas ruining the American society.
You guys are completely missing the point....this isn't a "careful of men ladies" movie it's a movie about a kid that was killed by police because the cop was a racist pos and that white girl, the stereotypical pretty american white girl, pale skin, bright blue eyes, blonde hair, wasn't understanding that Star's friend didn't die because he was a threat or a drug dealer, he died because a cop saw a black kid holding something and shot him. You all saying "violence has no skin tone, I clench my purse no matter who" need to stop watching movie clips from youtube shorts, watch the actual movie, and take a step back and see that you just put yourself in Haley's postion, you misunderstood the situation, you judged, you tried to downplay it. You are being like Haley, you're acting racist and judgemental but don't think you are because you aren't doing anything racist
And I hear the book did it better, but the movie did a helluva poor job doing that. He was just doing nothing. I hear in the book (it is on my list) that his hands were in the car. In the MOVIE, he’s being told to stop and still reaches for an item. He knows it’s a brush, she can see it, the cop doesn’t know. If they’d done it differently then maybe there would be more sympathy, but as it was, he was behaving stupidly. Starr was very out of line here, but that’s kind of the point of the movie, isn’t it? Violence begets violence? Khalil was shot. She attacks her friend (for saying things better left unsaid probably, but some valid points too). It doesn’t click until later on though that it’s a cycle when her little brother pulls a gun.
wait till you find out that people are watching “clips “ because they don’t have the time aren’t gonna have the time to watch a full hour + movie also it’s not acting dumb the ppl that haven’t watched the movie are acting off of THIS context which it makes sense why they feel that way
Your intentional ignorance is just another form of denial. Try listening because this isn't coming from thin air. It's giving naive, idealistic, etc...The mindset of those cops (like many irl) or subconscious, was one of prejudice/racism. Like even if the outcome was the same for someone else , the way they see black ppl made them more nervous than they initially would have been otherwise in the same situation; Or regardless to reasonable cause. Or for example, where they give one warning for a black person but two or three for someone else (in the same type of situation). Their process and way of thinking changes a bit, not just because of the situation, but because of their unchecked feelings about ppl because of their skin color.
it’s so sad that everyone’s missing the point of this movie. As someone who watched this movie, the point is not that clutching your purse around someone isn’t racist, it’s the fact that the girl does it ONLY around black people which shows how the white girl treats other races different. People are being ignorant in the chat trying to justify her actions but ignoring the fact that this is not the purpose of the black girls actions. And to the people saying a hairbrush can be seen as a weapon in anyone’s hands, in the movie the cops pulled over the guy even though he wasn’t doing anything particular, forced him out his car and then shot him because he thought the hairbrush was a weapon when in reality they did in no such thing to identify otherwise. And yes, it might seem as she’s proving the white girls point through “violence” when in reality you’re completely ignoring she said Star (the black girl ) is different than the black man (because she goes to their primarily white school and stuff) and she’s lighter skinned that it wouldn’t look like a weapon in her hand because of how she’s “friends” with her and is with the white peoples more and her skin tone, which is ultimately saying that if your a black person who isn’t influenced or surrounded by races other than your own (specifically black) or is darker skinned, you would be more suspicious. And by taking her hairbrush and acting as the cop did to the man, she is showing her how scary and ruthless it is to be put on the ground and threatened for no reason. The white girl doesn’t know how it was or felt to be in the situation because she would never have to be in it. It was an act out of frustration because Star knew she would never be able to understand because of her circumstances.
I only read the first few sentences, not wasting my time on the whole essay. Pattern recognition isn't racist. Knowing based on statistics who to be more suspicious of, careful of, isn't racist it's smart.
The guy was asked to step out and then he turned and grabbed his hair brush from his car after the cop told him to get out and yes the cop (if I remember correctly) was suspicious bc he’s black but the black girl shouldn’t have made the brush look like a weapon even tho she had every right to be angry this book is very sad but also I felt like no one really tried to see from both perspectives
This isn’t a “both perspectives” situation tho, her friend was incredibly insensitive, she made her realize what being hounded by the police who have weapons felt like and oh big surprise her friend didn’t like it, what she did was extreme but for christs sake the girl watched someone she loved die give her a break, then she has to go to school and hear some random girl talk like he deserved it of course she is going to snap at that.
What I don't understand if what you said is true why would you grab a hairbrush if a cop is asking you to step out of the car!? Sounds like poor decision making.
You clearly didn't get the point of the movie, I doubt you watched it. How could anyone watch that movie and be like, "Yea Starr is definitely a bully" 🤔
@@dylpickel8460her friend dies in front of her killed by a cops due to racism and the blonde girl answer that it's totally normal because of her own racist view. How is she the bully ?

@@selena7816 yelling at the girl just because she doesn’t totally understand what happened and chasing her and aggressively acting like she’s attacking her although the white girl did nothing wrong is being a jerk
No matter the movie and what they are trying to depict and debate her, the way that girl acted was very scarry and violent and is not the way you teach someone anything..
Lol so its ok for a cop TO ACTUALLY DO IT WITH A GUN? 🤔😂 any excuse to make it seem like her being racist wasn’t wrong lol talk about what she did wrong.
Ask someone who has been assaulted I don't clutch my purse when people come in the elevator with me. The fact of the matter is a lot of white people especially back in the day (not even necessarily now) would do things like this specifically if they saw a black man or woman get into an elevator and would not do it if they saw someone else get it. Heck I still miss people doing stuff like this not only black people but Muslims anybody who they see as dangerous.
@@creamyrblxvids6044 I am careful around all men unless I know and trust them... because my experience with most men is that they are capable of being really evil humans. And I know women are also capable of it. But I don't stand a fighting chance with a man. It has nothing to do with race for me...
I don't think she was being racist she was just scared that the guy in the elevator was going to mug her which is a valid fear no matter the race and the other girl way overreacted
She does reveal it a bit near the end. Which makes me think "oh maybe in the movie-" My bigger concern is that people think that automatically justifies the black teens behaviors. That only makes things worst by proving the white's bias. Which is way matin luther king was a peacful only protestor. You can't fix a bias by proving it, if it fixed a bias in that case- it's the person with the bias being reasonable with themself or God.

@@lol-ot4pn her friend was being racist and was in the wrong so she acted out of anger and showed her how it was for black people when people wave a gun it your face and how it can scary.
Before you jump in to say that star was over reacting maybe watch the movie first (or read the book). Her friend wasn’t even touching the hair brush when he got shot. The officer pulled them over, told the boy to get out of the car and shot him when he tried to grab the door handle because the hairbrush was in the door pocket. He shot the boy for FOLLOWING HIS INSTRUCTIONS. If you read the book you find out after he shot the boy and realised it was a hair brush not only did he not back track he pointed the gun at star and wouldn’t let her go near the boy to try to staunch the bleeding so the boy bled to death from the wound. Also he shot the boy twice. After the first the boy fell to the ground and clearly couldn’t have hurt the cop even if he had a weapon but then the cop shot him AGAIN
@@heidiclement4923 ppl always act slow for no reason, even if he thought he was reahing for something, he doesnt know what and he did not have to shoot him
Yall the point isn’t “should we or should we not clutch our purse around strangers” the point is her friend was obviously done wrong by the police because he was black and had a hairbrush in his possession and Haley justified whatever happened to him because he’s black. Humans really focus on the wrong details 😭
She proved the blonde girl point wrong since she tried to justify the cop actions but when she was treated like a victim of police brutality she folded
@user-gg1my9du7d yeah i agree but it also is scary when someone is screaming and waving crap in her face, i get that wss the lesson btw. Also i feel like calling something that someone is afraid of stupid isn't the best, it's just kinda demening.
i don’t know the full story behind the character sabrina is playing but of what i know, she isn’t acting racist. a hairbrush can be a weapon in anyone’s hands and even the black girls, she attacked her which made it a weapon in her hands. a drug dealer is dangerously and being scared around a dangerous black man doesn’t make you racist
From what the other comments said the guy who was shot took out his hairbrush to brush his hair and was shot 3 times by a trained cop. It was absolutely unjustified The problem here is, being "dangerous" means being "scary" and someone being scary is subjective. Usually not in favour of black people
You missed the entire point. It's not about the brush being a weapon. It's her showing what it's like to be on the receiving end of police brutality. It's about the implicit bias and racism. It's about the struggle and reality. You gotta look past the brush and actually listen to the words being spoken
Actions speak louder than words. She showed that it was possible for a hairbrush to become a weapon. She should have instead done something like: making the girl hold her brush, and THEN start shouting at her. Shouting "She's got a weapon! Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon now!" Then she could tackle her and restrain her. Instinct would often make people "grip" something harder too, so if it happens to haley, it might proove the point. Sure its not a perfect example (because star would have been the first to initiate physical assault in my example. I just cant think of one because ita not my job to screenwrite) But it would have more accurately portrayed the police as the 1st assaulter and the unreasonable one. Instead she made it look like " It is entirely possible to turn a hairbrush into a weapon. Hence "The police arent at fault. To summarize. Its bad scriptwritting.
@@Anonymous-in4ed she turned into the cop in that instance. Hence saying “get down on the ground” and “don’t move” you know, things scary ass trigger happy cops would say to a nonviolent, non threatening suspect. That’s actually good writing. You just have to tap into your brainpower a little more
Because she was trying to take the role of the cop. If you watched the movie that was not at all how the guy was shot. All he did was brush his hair and he wasnt even looking at the cop or talking to them.
u need to learn media literacy go back to 3rd grade. she was showing her what its like being a black individual thats being treated terribly just for being a black person.
EXACTLY! Finally someone said it. WHY THE HELL WOULD HE BE PULLING OUT A HAIRBRUSH IN THAT SITUATION??? Do what the cops say and don’t be funny or pull tricks. The cops are already on high alert, that’s why they always say put your hands where I can see them. SMH 🤦🏻♀️

As someone who read the book AND watched the movie, this scene is taken out of a lot of context. But to those arguing that “anyone acting like that would be scary with a hairbrush” the boy who was killed didn’t do anything with the brush, he wasn’t acting violent whatsoever and simply grabbed the brush to brush his hair, and he was shot and killed for it.
Edit: wow I’ve started a war in the replies. Anyway, to everyone saying “oh the cop panicked” “oh what would you do?” Forget that. Even if the cop panicked and shot him, there is no reason he should ever be shooting to KILL and if I’m not mistaken, he shot him three times. Cops are trained to keep their cool. That officer didn’t have justified reasons to shoot Khalil, and if you’re defending that cop, you are absolutely in the wrong.

Context.
In the movie, both the girl and her friend had been pulled over by the police. She grew up being taught about police brutality. Thus, she was very careful during the confrontation. He, however, was not. He knew they hadn't done anything wrong, so he was very nonchalant about the entire thing. He reached in the car to grab his hairbrush and got killed.
Later on, the police tried to justify it because he was a drug dealer. A fact that they didnt know until after he was dead.
This is why you’re told to keep your hands on the wheel when pulled over. I could be reaching for my wallet and from the outside to could be anything. You put your hands on the wheel, and announce what you’re doing, move slowly, and don’t jerk around.
@glowhoo9226 Yes, that's what we know now.
However, even today, there are many white populations who geninually have no fear of the police. The thought of having to keep their hands on the wheel and announce every movement is baffling to them.
It wasn't until Police Brutality became a problem that was actually acknowledged or talked about that any white person had to be worried, unless having previous bad experiences with police.
Remember, people are told that if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear.

@@eliiphics I'm not racist, but I clutch my purse around every skin and race, because just because someone is of a certain background, doesn't meant they're a good person either. That's common sense. Out of context (which I'm familiar with the context as I read the book when I was a teen) THIS particular clip looks like Star is the aggressor and when you tried to explain it, you sounded aggressive too. That's from being told to always keep a good grip on your belongings in public, so your belongings don't wind up someone else's. I always thought this was a poor set up for the plot, personally and I think it's a weak argument, because anyone can be a thief of any background. Clutching your purse and taking a few steps to the side to make sure your safe, isn't it... because i'd do it regardless of background, or gender.
It's a poor argument that clutching one's purse is a micro-aggression. What you later edited in, were good examples. Being safe and protecting yourself, isn't racism, because you don't know someone's background.
I wasn't trying to be rude either, but thanks for taking it as a critique which it was, versus a personal attack. :)
@@EeveelutionStorm yes I agree with you. I wasn’t trying to say that people who clutch their purse near a black person are automatically racist, they might do that around anyone. the way that i interpreted this scene was that she was saying clutching your purse *only* around black people makes you racist because you dont have to say the n-word to be racist. the point i was trying to make was that the girl just used that as an example in the moment and all the comments are talking about that one specific line and not getting the point of this clip. i’m not the best at putting my thoughts into words so i feel like theres a bunch of others that could have explained it a million times better than i did but i tried my best to explain my thoughts. i think my original comment just sounds so completely off from what i wanted to say so i’m just gonna delete it at this point 👍

They are both wrong. And that point is missed by a lot of people. Yes, the white girl was totally wrong for what she said, however, the black girl proved her point with her actions. She proved that a hairbrush can look like a weapon depending on how the person is acting with it, as she managed to scare the other girl…who knew it was a hair brush. The officer didn’t know that the guy had a hairbrush, and could only rely on the way he was acting and that he had something in his pocket. Violence begets more violence. This clip is a very good example on how racism affects both sides, as both sides have their own experiences, issues, and biases…regardless if they own up to that. I can only hope that everyone tries to end this disease that has affected everyone, no matter their race.
What? The black girl was not wrong no matter how someone is acting it is a still a hair brush an officer should know how to keep calm until they know FOR A FACT that it’s a gun. Officers are human yes but they must be above all that because that is the vow they took. To serve and protect not to serve and protect themselves.

Guys, you missed the point, at least in the book she confronts Hailey (Sabrina) cause she is racist, she stops following Starr becuse she posts about police brutality un Tumblr and about BLM, and starts to marginalize her, not wanting to hand out with Starr anymore saying she didn't have to post those "horrible things", makes a joke about her asian friend eating cat for Christmas, tells Starr her friend deserved being killed and badmouths him, she IS really racist. In the book Khalid didn't grab the brush, it was in the door and the police "mistook" it for a gun (becuse of the racist mentality that he obviously would have one since he's black), thinking he was going to grab it, sl they shoot him.
During this argument Hailey starts talking shit abojt Khalid and Starr snaps at last after being through a lot and it gets physical, not like in the movie
either so the girls are both in the wrong because in order to have a great example of how being racist isn't cool, is engaging in communication. Not resorting to violence. This is wrong on so many levels... the white girl will just remember who made her terrified..

The point of this clip was to show her how an ACTUALLY threatening situation with a hairbrush would look like
She showed the white gurl the difference between threatening and non-threatening , by showing the threatening version herself , as compared to the non-threning version of the boy who was killed or rather MURDERED by the police for no reason
Pretty sure the point was actually to show the girl what it’s like to interact with a hostile police officer
@@hanacinnabun at the end. When she snatched the brush, she was trying to show her what her friend looked and acted like
i loved this movie. as sad as the situation was, it made me really open my eyes to the struggles and experiences of a community im not apart of
I saw the scene , her friend was standing out of his vehicle and was told to keep his hands on the top of the car while the officer checked his info, and when the officer turned his back the guy reached the inside of the car to grab a brush.
According to several police officers (my uncle used to be in the force) there is nothing more st*pid to do than to reach for anything inside of your car without telling the officer, because they are trained to always think anything can happen, because anything CAN happen, the officer couldn't possibly know it was a brush, he saw the kid pulling an object that was all black and confused it for a gun (the incident happened at night).
However the cop was completely in the wrong, he had no reason to pull them over in the first place, Let alone made the kid step out, on top of that he is supposed to say something before shooting, the second he sees him reaching for something he is supposed to go "Hands where I can see them!" He can't just shoot.
The girl is right, his friend was killed out of prejudice and fear, but it was pretty stupid to use the brush to explain her point because reaching for ANYTHING in the car when you are pulled over, let alone if you waited for the cop to turn his back on you is a huge mistake,
You wouldn't believe how many shady people have shot officers to escape after they got pulled over.
In the book he doesn't even grab the brush, it is inside the car
@@howardcooper9916 movie name!
@@Xoxo_braylee2 i said I saw the scene, haven't seen the movie
I like how she proved her point by treating her the way the cops treated her friend. It was to help her understand why it’s so hard to follow instruction when you’re having a panic attack and being threatened even though both parties know damn well you don’t have a weapon. I can’t believe she would have the balls to say that to her face, though like she would know her friend better than the news.
You’re one of the only people in the top comments who seem to actually understand the clip.
You really are
THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLLY MAKING COMMON SENSE FROM THIS CLIP YOU'RE D ONLY PERSON WHO HASN'T MADE MY HEAD HURT😭😭..like thank you sooooooo much
Finally a person with a brain
she actually proved 2 things- 1st is the one you mentioned.
and 2nd is that people can think the brush is a weapon if you behaved aggresively like that.
Pencil is a weapon in John wick's hand, anything can be a weapon in the right hand. But that is not the argument here, if you have seen the movie then you will get this scene
a lot of y’all in this comment section r so slow…if u actually watch the movie instead of making assumptions from a youtube short, you would see that the white girl was pretty racist the whole movie and in this scene she was talking about Khalil, a black male who died because of a racist cop. since that was starr’s (the black girl) friend she was angry and the white girl for being racist to him
Seems like her friend was showing her that its hard to not move when someones pointing a gun at you
Moving and reaching for something are two dif things tho
@@aj802Cops arent supposed to shoot immideantly. hands up, open fire isnt allowed.
almost anything can be used as a “weapon” If being technical. She wasn’t afraid of the brush thinking it was a weapon but what she (Star)might do with it. Even this doesn’t represent the situation and what happened. He wasn’t aiming and swinging anything at the officer. He unfortunately was too comfortable thinking he can handle the situation recklessly. He didn’t go in his pocket but him reaching in his car looked highly suspicious. From what I remember he even brushed his hair like 2 times before being shot so I don’t know how the officer felt he was being aggressive
It was in the door, for 1 thing, and a gun wouldn't fit there, so...
@@thaliairaina were you adding to what I said ? I’m not sure the point of your comment , so…. What?
@@shaebubblegum3212 She is saying the reaction of the cop was overeacting. They both should have thought I think. This is my opinion, so you dont like it? Non of my business 💀😊
@@deniseosadolor that was also and literally my point.

Tries to make an argument about not all black people being a threat or violent, proceeds to be threatening and violent. Great writing guys, real subtle.
Lol that's kind of what I saw. Reminds of the guy in Office Space yelling how hes a people person.
Damn, and all she was doing was acting out with the cop did to her crazy how fucked up the world is.
SHE WASNT BEING VIOLENT! ITS A DRAMATIC VISUALIZATION…. Similar to a impromptu production.
But so, so accurate.
How is the point so lost on you
I’m Black, and I’ve actually seen ppl do this, even a few times to me. Not a lot at all, but sometimes. Ppl can be real idiots, morons, being racist for no reason. Someone actually called me a “ white person “ in a game once just because I said sm that lit didn’t even matter ( I don’t even remember it, srry ). Accusing ppl, especially black ppl, IS NOT FREAKING OK!! Some ppl need to realize and learn that. Never accuse ppl of being bad ppl, and never judge a book by its cover, OR color, for that matter. 💔❤️🔥❤️🩹💖
Yall are missing the point.. "I clutch my purse anywhere" okay?? This is SPECIFICALLY because of his race. Were yall not listening to what she was saying? "You're different star", LIKE??
Omg ikr like people apparently didn't catch that part (more like ignore it imo) and act like sabrina character was just misunderstood.
That "you're different" is racist people favourite thing to say to that one poc friend they got.
I work with some really nice old lady who often seems to forget my origin. She will say the most unhinged thing about my community and then add that "not you though" afterwards.
Fr like we don’t care if u “clutch your purse anywhere🤓” that wasn’t the point of the scene 😭 istg they choose to miss the point on purpose
They all acted racist and didn’t even realize it just like the girl in the video 🤡
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, THANK YOU🙏 At least someone uses their brain
Exactly, they completely missed what that girl was trying to teach us and her "friend."
Tw: Mentions of a person being shot
I wrote this because I’m extremely passionate about this book and movie.
To people saying that “Haley is right”or “they’re both in the wrong”you obviously haven’t read the book or seen the movie. Star, the black girl, went through severe trauma by seeing her friend get shot and killed by a cop because he was black and deemed a “threat”. The hairbrush is because her friend who died, Khalil, got pulled over by a cop with her and was asked to step outside the car the cop then went to his police car to register Kahlil’s license. While the cop was at his car Khalil started to jokingly brush his hair while talking to Star through the car window, which was a stupid move but he’s not at fault for his death so don’t write “well he shouldn’t have done that in front of the cop”, and so the cop shot him saying he thought it was a gun from the distance he was at. The cop may have thought it was a gun from far away but were Khalil a white man he would’ve tried to confirm it was a gun before shooting him, this was talked about in another scene with her uncle who is a black cop.
After this case was put on the news Haley said she felt bad for the police officer and disregarded Kahlil’s life saying he was probably a drug dealer and the cop just made a simple mistake, it was not a “small mistake” because a kid died! Star was angered by this because her friend died but everyone said the cops life was ruined but *what about Kahlil’s life?* he lost his future but no one cared because they just assumed he deserved it because he’s black, her friend said this because it wasn’t revealed that Star was the witness of this case. Even though Star was being aggressive it was completely fair, because she went through something horrible and saw someone she loved die in her hands (she held him as he bled out) so her lashing out is more than reasonable because she is a teen and a victim so her anger at the world and at Hailey, for not getting what happened, is fully understandable.
Outbursts of anger are very common for those under high levels of stress or for those who have major trauma so that is why her lashing out in this scene is fair.
Also, for people to say “but I would still hold my purse no matter the race” in the comments *that’s not the point* . Because now you are being ignorant to the fact that the point of this scene is that Haley is an ignorant white girl and that people keep ignoring racism as long as it benefits white people. Of course the hairbrush is scary in this scene for Hailey but in Kahlil’s situation the cop assumed the hairbrush was a gun because he was black that’s why Star used a hairbrush in this because she was so heartbroken that no one cared that her friend was killed over a hairbrush. I love this book so I hate it when people can’t get the message and still stick with the white people just like *everyone* in the story.
I may not have worded this the best, but I hope you get the context of this scene now and understand Stars aggression. Also, how even in a story where racism is so apparent people still like to back up white people, even if it’s subconsciously.
Fun fact to light up the mood the actress of Star also played Rue in the first Hunger Games movie
We understand Star's aggression because she is an animal that can't control her emotions.
@@Max_Griswald It seems to me that you just disregarded everything this person wrote. I know this doesn't justify her outburst, but how would you feel if you were in her position?

Having had her District of 11 overrun by peacekeepers, Rue understands the ruthlessness of cops.
The guy wasn’t acting like this though. Back turned and grabbed a brush. Unless he grabbed and turned around fast like he had a gun..he posed no threat at all. Any officer that took his vows with good intentions would’ve saw that boy wasn’t trying to hurt him. Sh**ting would’ve been the last resort.
Yeah exactly he put it on his head bro and wasn’t facing the cop he was lit talking to the girl in the car and then he got shot like bruhv? Multiple times too

@@killianmccluff36drug dealer or not. Khalil wasn't aggressive to the cop, wasn't even facing him in the first place. He deserved to have his day in court. That and Hailey was wrong to be racist towards black people and treat Starr as "one of the good ones", which is not a compliment when she just disrespected her race AND her friend. Star shows how she is both capable of scaring, like ANYBODY is, not just based on race, but also how it feels to have a weapon pulled on you and having directions yelled at you.

The problem with skits from movies is that only people who have watched the movie can give good judgement.
Judging from one scene is taking a story out of context.
The message is clear.
It's not saying "be loose with your property", it's saying that more often than not, racist people tend to clutch their things in the presence of black people than they do in general. This is because of a predisposition that all black people are criminals.
However, not all black people are criminals, the same way not all white people are good persons.
Treating a race, gender with such generalised predispositions make one a racist or sexist person. Simple!
If someone is using something as a weapon then it’s a weapon

You guys are completely missing the point....this isn't a "careful of men ladies" movie it's a movie about a kid that was killed by police because the cop was a racist pos and that white girl, the stereotypical pretty american white girl, pale skin, bright blue eyes, blonde hair, wasn't understanding that Star's friend didn't die because he was a threat or a drug dealer, he died because a cop saw a black kid holding something and shot him.
You all saying "violence has no skin tone, I clench my purse no matter who" need to stop watching movie clips from youtube shorts, watch the actual movie, and take a step back and see that you just put yourself in Haley's postion, you misunderstood the situation, you judged, you tried to downplay it. You are being like Haley, you're acting racist and judgemental but don't think you are because you aren't doing anything racist
Thank you! I had to scroll way too far to find this comment.
And I hear the book did it better, but the movie did a helluva poor job doing that. He was just doing nothing. I hear in the book (it is on my list) that his hands were in the car. In the MOVIE, he’s being told to stop and still reaches for an item. He knows it’s a brush, she can see it, the cop doesn’t know. If they’d done it differently then maybe there would be more sympathy, but as it was, he was behaving stupidly. Starr was very out of line here, but that’s kind of the point of the movie, isn’t it? Violence begets violence? Khalil was shot. She attacks her friend (for saying things better left unsaid probably, but some valid points too). It doesn’t click until later on though that it’s a cycle when her little brother pulls a gun.
wait till you find out that people are watching “clips “ because they don’t have the time aren’t gonna have the time to watch a full hour + movie also it’s not acting dumb the ppl that haven’t watched the movie are acting off of THIS context which it makes sense why they feel that way

ANYONE looking threatening regardless of colour, you don’t have to be offended by the truth
not the point of the video
Your intentional ignorance is just another form of denial. Try listening because this isn't coming from thin air. It's giving naive, idealistic, etc...The mindset of those cops (like many irl) or subconscious, was one of prejudice/racism. Like even if the outcome was the same for someone else , the way they see black ppl made them more nervous than they initially would have been otherwise in the same situation; Or regardless to reasonable cause. Or for example, where they give one warning for a black person but two or three for someone else (in the same type of situation). Their process and way of thinking changes a bit, not just because of the situation, but because of their unchecked feelings about ppl because of their skin color.

it’s so sad that everyone’s missing the point of this movie. As someone who watched this movie, the point is not that clutching your purse around someone isn’t racist, it’s the fact that the girl does it ONLY around black people which shows how the white girl treats other races different. People are being ignorant in the chat trying to justify her actions but ignoring the fact that this is not the purpose of the black girls actions.
And to the people saying a hairbrush can be seen as a weapon in anyone’s hands, in the movie the cops pulled over the guy even though he wasn’t doing anything particular, forced him out his car and then shot him because he thought the hairbrush was a weapon when in reality they did in no such thing to identify otherwise.
And yes, it might seem as she’s proving the white girls point through “violence” when in reality you’re completely ignoring she said Star (the black girl ) is different than the black man (because she goes to their primarily white school and stuff) and she’s lighter skinned that it wouldn’t look like a weapon in her hand because of how she’s “friends” with her and is with the white peoples more and her skin tone, which is ultimately saying that if your a black person who isn’t influenced or surrounded by races other than your own (specifically black) or is darker skinned, you would be more suspicious.
And by taking her hairbrush and acting as the cop did to the man, she is showing her how scary and ruthless it is to be put on the ground and threatened for no reason. The white girl doesn’t know how it was or felt to be in the situation because she would never have to be in it. It was an act out of frustration because Star knew she would never be able to understand because of her circumstances.

The officer pulled them over, told the boy to get out of the car and shot him when he tried to grab the door handle because the hairbrush was in the door pocket. He shot the boy for FOLLOWING HIS INSTRUCTIONS. If you read the book you find out after he shot the boy and realised it was a hair brush not only did he not back track he pointed the gun at star and wouldn’t let her go near the boy to try to staunch the bleeding so the boy bled to death from the wound. Also he shot the boy twice. After the first the boy fell to the ground and clearly couldn’t have hurt the cop even if he had a weapon but then the cop shot him AGAIN
He didn’t follow his instructions! He was told to stop iirc and he kept reaching for it. Anyone would’ve been shot, not just him.
@@heidiclement4923 why should the cop have fired his gun in the first place?
@@heidiclement4923 ppl always act slow for no reason, even if he thought he was reahing for something, he doesnt know what and he did not have to shoot him
@@heidiclement4923cops are taught to descalate situations not shoot first ask questions later then try to make a cover story. Believe it or not
Yall the point isn’t “should we or should we not clutch our purse around strangers” the point is her friend was obviously done wrong by the police because he was black and had a hairbrush in his possession and Haley justified whatever happened to him because he’s black. Humans really focus on the wrong details 😭
I hate Hailey with a burning passion and I’m glad I’m not the only one
U don’t tell somebody who’s grieving a loss that the person who died was going to die anyways, that’s crazy
Proved blonde girls point lmao
Man 😂 and everyone slow ASF
Clearly didn’t watch the movie lhfh
@@dionihogans8911like for real😂
She proved the blonde girl point wrong since she tried to justify the cop actions but when she was treated like a victim of police brutality she folded
Tbh, this was the funniest thing I've seen today. Literally the way Haley was crying got me rolling places😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
nah bro seeing someone crying in fear and laughing bout it is messed up even if they are crappy 😭
@@cocobirdie13 nah sorry if I see a shitty person crying in fear I will rejoice!
@luckas221a idk i personally dont enjoy watching people scared- might just be me tho 😭
@cocobirdie13 the problem is that she's scared for a dumb reason lmao, she threatened to get shot by a hairbrush which is dumb
@user-gg1my9du7d yeah i agree but it also is scary when someone is screaming and waving crap in her face, i get that wss the lesson btw. Also i feel like calling something that someone is afraid of stupid isn't the best, it's just kinda demening.
if you’re acting like THAT with a hairbrush then yeah it looks like a weapon…
She was proving a point by acting like the cop I'm pretty sure ngl
i don’t know the full story behind the character sabrina is playing but of what i know, she isn’t acting racist. a hairbrush can be a weapon in anyone’s hands and even the black girls, she attacked her which made it a weapon in her hands. a drug dealer is dangerously and being scared around a dangerous black man doesn’t make you racist
From what the other comments said the guy who was shot took out his hairbrush to brush his hair and was shot 3 times by a trained cop. It was absolutely unjustified
The problem here is, being "dangerous" means being "scary" and someone being scary is subjective. Usually not in favour of black people
"Look at me and stop crying"
Hite different 💀💀💀
it hit abusive to me
I love how she was providing her point 🤷♂️
No she wasn't watch the full movie
@@amt4653 star was proving to her how ridiculous she sounds
... she just proved the other girl's point by showing that the hairbrush is now a weapon in her hands.
white girl started it
You missed the entire point. It's not about the brush being a weapon. It's her showing what it's like to be on the receiving end of police brutality. It's about the implicit bias and racism. It's about the struggle and reality. You gotta look past the brush and actually listen to the words being spoken
Actions speak louder than words.
She showed that it was possible for a hairbrush to become a weapon.
She should have instead done something like: making the girl hold her brush, and THEN start shouting at her. Shouting "She's got a weapon! Drop the weapon! Drop the weapon now!" Then she could tackle her and restrain her.
Instinct would often make people "grip" something harder too, so if it happens to haley, it might proove the point.
Sure its not a perfect example (because star would have been the first to initiate physical assault in my example. I just cant think of one because ita not my job to screenwrite)
But it would have more accurately portrayed the police as the 1st assaulter and the unreasonable one.
Instead she made it look like " It is entirely possible to turn a hairbrush into a weapon. Hence "The police arent at fault.
To summarize. Its bad scriptwritting.
@@Anonymous-in4ed she turned into the cop in that instance. Hence saying “get down on the ground” and “don’t move” you know, things scary ass trigger happy cops would say to a nonviolent, non threatening suspect. That’s actually good writing. You just have to tap into your brainpower a little more
No girl just showed proof AGAINST herself. That was aggressive AF
Because she was trying to take the role of the cop. If you watched the movie that was not at all how the guy was shot. All he did was brush his hair and he wasnt even looking at the cop or talking to them.
u need to learn media literacy go back to 3rd grade. she was showing her what its like being a black individual thats being treated terribly just for being a black person.
@@tiny._.sxnshine oh brother
@@tiny._.sxnshine exactly💯 victim mentality and aggressive behavior
Exactly 💯 aggressive behavior and playing the victim
Why did bro feel the need to not follow the instructions and brush his hair while being pulled over? I'd litreally be too scared to joke around, lol.
Yeah that’s asking for trouble
EXACTLY! Finally someone said it. WHY THE HELL WOULD HE BE PULLING OUT A HAIRBRUSH IN THAT SITUATION??? Do what the cops say and don’t be funny or pull tricks. The cops are already on high alert, that’s why they always say put your hands where I can see them. SMH 🤦🏻♀️
@@annieann_3227 to be fair cops often shout conflicting instructions.
I don’t think it’s wise to escalate an encounter with the police when it could get you killed. Some people Buck up on their It’s such a fine line to walk I wouldnt risk it.
Exactly! This is set in America. I don’t care your colour when your loving in a country where there’s is 2 guns for every 1 citizen

The one I'm actually clutching my purse from is not ppl. It's the elevator. Them things are scary, and ya girl is taking the stairs.
Let's talk about how I legit thought that hairbrush was a knife 💀😳
Her dad is the true MVP of this movie wish we had gotten more scenes with him
I recommend the book more because it shows more reasons why the boy sold the drugs help his family
