I thought this scene was especially interesting because it speaks to much more than it simply looks like. The cop shooting Kendrick dead with only his fingers symbolizes the dangerous power of oppression to kill a culture and its people even without violence. Such a notion reveals the true injustice and wrong hidden in American society.

I thought this scene spoke volumes as well; I think it also alludes to how stereotypes and perceptions of young black males are influenced by how the police treat them. The police treating them with hostility and distrust often leads to society treating them the same way.

This lyric is important because it references reparations in a line full of other expensive objects, alluding to the value of reparations.

#Ferguson and its attendant live streams created a similar feeling of shared temporality—particularly during the protests and confrontations with police.

Another friend tells you you have to learn not to absorb the world. She says sometimes she can hear her own voice saying silently to whomever- you are saying this thing and I am not going to accept it. Your friend refuses to carry what doesn't belong to her.
