Remember that word ‘innocent’? This is why Trayvon Martin is dead.
And there you have it folks
Black children don’t have innocence. We’re guilty from birth
I’m pretty sure from the description that Rue’s on screen portrayal was quite accurate.
But there’s institutionalized racism there for you folks. Dumb bitch.
……. it’s all interrelated, isn’t it? and just so fucking depressing, besides….
The FUCK is this bullshit?
aside from how messed up this is, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone say this — and it’s interesting because Rue is explicitly described as having dark coloring:
“And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that, she’s very like Prim in size and demeanor.”
and yet so many people assume she’s white.
