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.

The racism really spurs when this ignoramus says ” SOME BLACK GIRL”. Like “some piece of trash”. This girl can handstand on a landmine

i don’t understand what part of her saying she thought rue was blonde was racist

in the book, katniss says that when she looks at rue, she sees her sister

tbh the only reason why i thought of rue as being black is because i saw the trailer and saw they made her black

you really need to stop playing the race card because its old and annoying

My friend, I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and trust that you’re not here merely to ‘troll’.  The racism is in her implication that being blonde equates with innocence while being “some black girl” somehow removes that innocence.

There is no race card being played here.
