Angie Thomas, author, on racism, US police brutality and black representation - BBC HARDtalk (2019)

“True change comes from discomfort” and “I want to be a microphone rather than a voice for this generation”...wow. She never fails to inspire me. 👏

The real discomfort is that she is pushing fake racism and can't handle reality.

This was a soft talk interview!

Wow was an inspiring interview, thanks BBC for directing the passions of the young, activist, influencers to give human rights struggle an colorless face, at the end of the day. Hard questions persuading or lifting these stereotypes from our subconsciousness are very useful, please keep it up.

The real problem in America is that many minorities follow bad culture and have a terrible upbringing due to family structure issues. They are also a protected class in America by way of law and the media protection. There is no discrimination or police brutality problem in America. The Far Left Elites are pushing fake racism because they want to pretend they are doing something good, when in reality they are not.

Stereotypes are there for a reason! Facts!

She nailed this interview, even when Stephen Sackur threw in some sly hoops to try and trap her in stating a particular viewpoint. HARDtalk is my favourite journalist platform. Well done Angie!

This interview wasn’t a very hard talk. He just handed softballs, disappointing.

ANGIE'S RIGHT! I know I say this being white but STILL! HER BOOKS SHOULD "ABSOLUTELY" BE TAUGHT OR USED IN SCHOOLS! I WILL BE USING THE HATE U GIVE FOR COURSEWORK NEXT YEAR, comparing how racism is presented in the hate u give compared to Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Angie taught me truth, she taught me understand of another race, I just want to say I have NEVER been racist. I see it as, "if I was black how would I want to be spoken to because of my race?" and it's obviously with respect and care.
