“We encourage Black audiences, all those who reject narratives that make Black victims of police violence responsible for their own deaths, and Tupac fans, to invest their dollars in Black film that uplifts and empowers Black communities. “The Hate U Give” is not that.” (film criticism in the Los Angeles Sentinel, October 18, 2018 https://lasentinel.net/why-the-hate-u-give-is-not-a-black-lives-matter-movie.html)
