Amandla just recently opened up about one of the most important scenes in The Hate U Give – where Chris tells Starr he doesn’t “see color”.

They shared that the sentiment “doesn’t cut it in today’s day and age.”

“Starr urges him to think critically about her experience as a black person,” Amandla adds. “And she explains to him why he can’t look at her without any lens of color because he has to think about how being black affects her everyday experiences. It affects her everyday life. It affects the way that she traverses the world.”
