Amandla Stenberg - Portraying Code-Switching in “The Hate U Give” | The Daily Show 

What was racist about what she said?

@@juleswinnfield616she said “white peoples crying was the goal”. That’s just racism af.

It doesn't take much to more eloquent than that WH bunch. But, yeah, her vocabulary is well above average. Obviously, she actually reads. Not so with the current administration.

She's 20

iloveloveloveableful good to know, also shes still 50 years younger than DJT

K B jeez that shade

She’s in her 20’s...IMBD.

It’s horrible that this movie hits so close to home but I’m glad it was able to get made. It’s too important a story to ignore.

Devastated THAT THIS IS A NEED FOR THIS, SINCE I AM AAALLLWWWAAAAYYYSSSS WORRIED ABOUT MY AFRICAN AMERICAN SONS

I think you are allowed to feel both. It’s deep.

@@gateauxq4604, The movies that hit close to home are the best ones. The trick is keeping the feelings the movie gives you and not blowing them off when you get home to your "real" life.

This movie would've come either way, whether there was a political story about it or not. I am more astonished it took this long. Tragedies always make it to film one way or another.

When I watched the Colombiana movie I thought she was South African

Stenberg = Stone mountain in Swedish

It's also an album by Miles Davis, wich is the reason she has this name (according to wikipedia).

I was hoping someone would comment this

I agree she is very gorgeous.

Too much make-up but yea she's beautiful from within

I see you everywhere fam

Yes

Agree. Greetings from India.

OMG, she totally was Ru! I just realized because of you!

Didn't realize that that was Ru until your comment.

Oh... That is her!!

Because this country wasn't set up that way to where we could all be just people.

SJW Tactics bullshit lol every human being does it it’s normal. We all switch our language to fit our environment weather it’s a courthouse or a bar. We are all the same , people all over the world do it.

Ok, i can understand blackkklansman..but get out was absolute garbage. But.. this is just my opinion

Put story telling before identity politics and I won't mind

17 Days She wasn’t talking about switching just your language. It’s about switching personalities as a form of survival. Yes, we all have our office behavior which restricts a person to act in the behavior that their employer expects. Well, for Blacks this plays over into our trips to the grocery attire, the mall, the movies, just outside the house cause it extends to our white neighbors. Our HAIR is altered to make whites comfortable. What you’re saying is not the same. It is a choice, sadly. The alternative is is Bronze people being ourselves and making white america VERY uncomfortable because they can’t handle diversity. We understand it and we’re relaxed amongst ourselves but America has expressed very well, their limitations. I can assure everyone though, that the world will soon be very uncomfortable. Our Bronze youth are far from being born with historical awareness of chains and they don’t put on a show for society. And their parents have waited for years to shake off the extra skin. It’s an awakening.

You're a dumb loser

For the people. For the culture.

The book was moving. I can just imagine how the movie will be. I can't wait to see it.

@@lonesomedove325 the book sounds so interesting, I have got to take a look at it. As for the movie, the movie was astonishing absolutely brilliant. The best movie of 2018 hands down. You'll feel the emotions of Starr and all the people going through Joy, sadness, Frustration, anger. You can feel the passion behind the actors and actresses From beginning to end it was a ride to remember. The hate you give deserves rewards no questions ask. I love that movie so much I am going to definitely add it to my collection when it comes to DVD and blue ray. Everybody in the theater were so emotional when watching that movie. So many people crying and so many people cheering. It was so good people clapped when it was over. Yes! Go watch it! Have a great time. I know you will enjoy yourself 😁😁😁

I don't go to the movies much, but I'm definitely going to see this!

@@lonesomedove325 trust me! It is really worth it! I have to read the book. But the movie is gold. I rated the movie a 10/10 my friend is a very picky critic and he rated it 9.5/10 that is really high for his standards. I am sure you'll love it. I hope you have fun! 😁

I never thought it was this bad in the US or anywhere else in the world ,to be black .But watching this movie today has had me appreciate myself and my skin color.

*who

It does. My Ex-husband was white and had no idea I did it until he experienced me around my family. I didn't even think about it and found his surprise funny. Long story short; he didn't find it funny, badgered me about it for a few years, then I finally said, "Boy, bye." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Such is life.😊

@None Ya Get a LIFE!!!

Yhhh

You are crying

no, no, fix racism with more racism … just like "fight fire with fire"

Did you understand the context in which she was saying this? She said the point was to make White people see what people of color experience, and hopefully feel empathy for us. What is it about this message that you find so extreme?

​@@juleswinnfield616 the assumption that white people weren't already sympathetic. the assumption that white people haven't also experienced things to be sympathetic of. the assumption that all white people are just copies of the same white people template. … ya know, all the same racist stereotypes that everyone complains that white people subject _them_ to.

​@@juleswinnfield616 ​ what's 'extreme'? that noah creates a lie of framing that 'black boys being shot by police "is happening now _all_ the time." the assumption that the black 'boys' are only innocent victims of white brutality. the assumption that it's only innocent black 'boys' whose names deserve to be remembered. the assumption that white people weren't already sympathetic. the assumption that white people haven't also experienced things to be sympathetic of. the idea that 'code-switching' is normal and not a racist behavior of deception based around racial bigotry white people don't understand formal vs informal interactions. the assumption that white kids don't need to be taught to respect authority b/c they have immunity. the assumption that all white people are just copies of the same white people template. that "white people crying was the goal" is an applause line because of some collective punishment of shared shame is justified … ya know, all the same racist stereotypes that everyone complains that white people subject _them_ to.

This aged like milk

@@ryantogo8359 indeed this aged like Chernobyl milk

That is sadly so true. I just hope that with the release of this movie, and other similar socially conscious films, more of our K-12 teachers will be inspired to share these with their students. That's the only realistic way I can think of that can expose these types of films to people who would otherwise never desire to see them.

That's true. don't want to be pessimist, but for me that HATE isn't not just gonna go right away looking at how deep that have been developed. But we HOPE!

@@divinmurengezi5545 foolishness comes in so many different ways . Just because you're seeing a person do something good you remind them of something bad they did to drag them down....how petty . Take what I said however you want and by the way our president has already apologised for that tragedy and I'm sure you only know about this xenophobic attack because a south African choir went to America's got talent and now you acting all good and mighty but it wasn't the first time this happened and guess what even though south africans always have these types of attacks we and everyother africans still live in one place just as we did before. So if you cared about what was going on in africa you should have known that this isnt new and we will see what happens in the future. This answering back and forth between me and everyone here is over because I dont have the time or the data to be arguing with people about this . You can reply if you want to let something out but those who have time for you will respond . Have a great year .

Hakeem Haye true though. There’s a lot of colorism in Hollywood still. Let’s hope that gets changed.

She probably had the best audition.. She's brilliant & very talented

@@theodorable6817 Same

Haye: Honestly, I'm tired of hearing about the colorism thing. We all know that's how Hollywood is, they're always been racist like that. She got cast because she's a big enough name now to actually be cast as the lead, and FYI, the author of the book the film is based on wanted her to play the character from the get-go. I'm sick and damn tired of hearing black people whine about this young actress getting roles, claiming she only gets them because she's light-skinned. It's pretty damn obvious to anyone with eyes that she's black, and she herself is very aware of the colorism issues in Holly- wood when it comes to black actresses. I mean, is she supposed to turn down any role she gets just because somebody whines about her being too light-skinned for it? Hell, no. She already turned down a role in Black Panther because she felt that a dark-skinned black actress should get it, so give her some credit for that, at least.

@@alondathomas293 Just because you get tired of it doesn't mean it will be over. And certainly doesn't mean you will stop hearing us "whine" about it. Your ignorance to serious situation it appalling. God bless you.

Yup. Now she just dropped a music video so cringy, crying about her victimhood. An actress with a multi-million dollar net worth screaming for a whambulance to a beat.

The context in which this was said, is still very much valid today. Context matters.

​@@guitarmatricide4834 Yea man because an actress is relatively successful it means the subject they are talking about totally doesn't exist. You're a fool and her eloquence tops yours for miles.

@@juleswinnfield616except if you actually look at the data instead of the bs narrative. You’ll see that unarmed black people are not getting killed left and right. The year of the racial reckoning had millions of police interactions and only around twelve unarmed black people were killed. It’s a lie.

@@juleswinnfield616umm what context is that? Assuming that white people have no capacity to feel when black people auffer?

yep.....wish more parents understands that and teach them more at home.

But honestly!! I couldn’t agree more with you

Christ ☦will save the world. We destroy it when we turn our backs on Him.

No it won't. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil

"Empathy" combined with "goal was to make white people cry". That's not an empathy, that's a racism.

@@finthehuman3649 Trevor Noah was in the movie and no one knew.

This comment did not age well 😶😔

White people feeling empathy was the goal. Crying is just a way to express that emotion. The goal was for White people to care about what people of color experience in our society.

What makes you beleive that white men don't care about the others? You try to say that we are different?

@@juleswinnfield616 Why white people tho? I don't get it race should never matter. I think everyone feels empathy regardless of race. I didn't see much racism tho compared to the out of context clips I have to admit. They made it seems worst.

@2nerC9 I assume it may be because people of color are already aware of social prejudices, as most unfortunate will either experience it or at least have witnessed it first hand. So, the goal might have been to have the message reach communities that aren't exposed to it, or at least not to the same degree that most people of color typically are.

@2nerC9 I assume that it would be because most POC are already quite familiar with social prejudices, as unfortunately, most have been exposed to it firsthand. I think the goal was to have the message reach communities that perhaps aren't as familiar, at least not to the same extent that POC are exposed to it, in hopes of spreading awareness and gaining sympathy.

How is what she said racist?

@@discobroccoli198 How is it not?

@@fatherlucid4995 the full context of what she’s saying is that it’s a drama about tragic events involving inner city black Americans. So making white people cry as in having an empathic reaction to the story.

​@fatherlucid4995 so hoping for White people to have empathy towards people of color who experience prejudice is racist? Care to elaborate how?

@@Skutewhy specifically white people? Assuming white people don’t already empathize IS racist and prejudiced.

allyiah simon Thank you for saying this. Perfect way to explain it.

@@scorpysubb Vincent Bockaert I assure you caucasian individual can act out of unifrom but this way of living isnt out of their culture,I think everyone tries to act accordingly at the work place. And I can see youve been affect by this systematic dilemma unknowingly. White culture is the most prominent amongst society. Its over thrown the way we look at our selves in lack representation and it isnt till now that we demand more diversity and the proper way. I hope in the future we can integrate our culture into the work place and not be seen as improper. Essentially speaking with this tone gets you ahead. Its a "white tone". In a white world. The further you get into the more you stray away from your culture into theirs. You habe to then think why is my culture seen as unprofession also being rejected. It isnt about racism persay,being that you can speak professional,polite and not use this tone. Makes it the seprate from another. Its tiring becoming another person. This doesnt just have to be in the work place. Usually when afro american people come into work in official settings you straighten your hair,talk in this tone and take on mannerism that arent our own. Have to work twice as hard for these stereotype to not be printed on you. Even our ethnic names can have pre assumptions based on race. Becoming the white narrative to date. Its this mentality that carried with us from generation to generation. I think you should watch this movie because it brings up some very interesting points of what this im trying to explian is.

@@Hero-up8hv Yah but this is mostly the case in nations with majority white populations, not saying there can't be improvements, of course there can, and I'm always for more integration, but it makes sense why white culture would be the most predominant in countries majority populated by white people. Most nations in Africa or Asia do not have nearly as much integration or respect for other cultures as the US or Europe does.

@xxGodx i mean the movie is meant to kill racism among the millennial who are in charge now . i am not one of course

Yeah, it means "power" in Zulu.

and Xhosa

She is named after an album by Miles Davis...

Yeah its a Nguni name (Zulu,Xhosa,Swati and Ndebele), it has the same meaning in all these languages

I'd vote for him

Sadly he can't be the president of the USA because he wasn't born there.

@@confusedsquirrel He can still be president as long as he is a citizen and has lived in America for a certain number of years.

Only people born in the USA, born in a US territory, or having at least one parent who is a USA citizen is eligible to be President or Vice-President. The highest level of influence a naturalized citizen could hold on the state level is Governor, if the state allows it, or on the federal level they could be appointed to a top position like Secretary of State. If something happened to the President or Vice President to make then no longer available (death, illness, impeachment) the Secretary of State would still not qualify to step in as acting President and it would go to the next qualified person. I think it is one of those laws that hasn’t really been updated because on the surface it seems to protect the country from other countries sending their smoothest talking sleeper agent our way. If Jesus were to come to America and say he wanted to be President, I think updating that law would immediately become the first issue on the Congress’ Agenda.

Jeremy Byington we know at least he could be a president of his own country that’s wah I mean
