She looks so beautiful and happy , Sis is making her coin now , wish her more success❤💯
I agree she is very gorgeous.
Too much make-up but yea she's beautiful from within
I see you everywhere fam
Yes
Agree. Greetings from India.
I'm not sure if I should be glad that there are movies like this one, or devastated that there is a need for this kind of film.
It’s horrible that this movie hits so close to home but I’m glad it was able to get made. It’s too important a story to ignore.
Devastated THAT THIS IS A NEED FOR THIS, SINCE I AM AAALLLWWWAAAAYYYSSSS WORRIED ABOUT MY AFRICAN AMERICAN SONS
I think you are allowed to feel both. It’s deep.
@@gateauxq4604, The movies that hit close to home are the best ones. The trick is keeping the feelings the movie gives you and not blowing them off when you get home to your "real" life.
This movie would've come either way, whether there was a political story about it or not. I am more astonished it took this long. Tragedies always make it to film one way or another.
Dude. How old is she. Shes like 16 and more eloquent than all the people in the white house
It doesn't take much to more eloquent than that WH bunch. But, yeah, her vocabulary is well above average. Obviously, she actually reads. Not so with the current administration.
She's 20
iloveloveloveableful good to know, also shes still 50 years younger than DJT
K B jeez that shade
She’s in her 20’s...IMBD.
"Combating racism by being racist is the goal"
What was racist about what she said?
@@juleswinnfield616she said “white peoples crying was the goal”. That’s just racism af.
I've been a big fan of Amandla since she was in The Hunger Games. I'm so happy she's grown up to become a remarkable young lady.
OMG, she totally was Ru! I just realized because of you!
Didn't realize that that was Ru until your comment.
Oh... That is her!!
Wow
Rue's death was the hardest one for me in the book. I'm so glad that she was played by such a phenomenal person, Amandla!
Literally everyone “code switches” not just black folk.
Amandla = power in isiZulu. ( South Africa language)
Yess🇿🇦🇿🇲
When I watched the Colombiana movie I thought she was South African
Stenberg = Stone mountain in Swedish
It's also an album by Miles Davis, wich is the reason she has this name (according to wikipedia).
I was hoping someone would comment this
She's so young, yet so eloquent. Her choice of words and the way she forms her sentences are way beyond her age. Hopefully she'll go even farther in her career.
Putu Chris Susanto She is 20 yrs old.
mas putu aku setuju
Well yeah shes Jewish she got it from that side of the family
Isn't that crazy how she so well-spoken and I'm sure Trump went to the best schools best education and look how he came out when he speaks it's like he's hanging with his homies
@@creolajerome6615 you can buy grades, but you can't buy class.
I learned about code switching as an anthropology major. It shows a high degree of intellect. These woke, progressive films like Blackkklansman and Get Out are so necessary. I'm grateful they are becoming more popular than garbage like the stuff produced by Dinesh Desouza.
SJW Tactics bullshit lol every human being does it it’s normal. We all switch our language to fit our environment weather it’s a courthouse or a bar. We are all the same , people all over the world do it.
Ok, i can understand blackkklansman..but get out was absolute garbage. But.. this is just my opinion
Put story telling before identity politics and I won't mind
17 Days
She wasn’t talking about switching just your language. It’s about switching personalities as a form of survival. Yes, we all have our office behavior which restricts a person to act in the behavior that their employer expects. Well, for Blacks this plays over into our trips to the grocery attire, the mall, the movies, just outside the house cause it extends to our white neighbors. Our HAIR is altered to make whites comfortable. What you’re saying is not the same. It is a choice, sadly. The alternative is is Bronze people being ourselves and making white america VERY uncomfortable because they can’t handle diversity. We understand it and we’re relaxed amongst ourselves but America has expressed very well, their limitations. I can assure everyone though, that the world will soon be very uncomfortable. Our Bronze youth are far from being born with historical awareness of chains and they don’t put on a show for society. And their parents have waited for years to shake off the extra skin. It’s an awakening.
You're a dumb loser
I'm not going to lie, I felt so many emotions when I watched THE HATE YOU GIVE. I am part Black and I grew up rather privileged due to my parents making me and my siblings grow up in a predominantly up scaled environment. Due to that, I never understood why my people we're so angry, and why they were protesting black Lives Matter.
THE HATE YOU GIVE made me understand why so many black folks are so fed up in America. I felt happiness, sadness, anger, and frustration when watching that movie. Not going to lie at the end If it would have escalated to what I thought was going to happen. I would have walked out of the theater. But thank god that it didn't escalate that far.
THE HATE YOU GIVE was such a healthy movie. Starr's family was so damn motivational, the father was a real man and the mother was absolutely incredible. And the movie made me realize that 2pac was way before our time. He was such a wise man. If you haven't seen the movie. I recommend you go see it. I wish I could relive the experience I had when I first went to go watch that movie. THAT is how good the movie is.
The book was moving. I can just imagine how the movie will be. I can't wait to see it.
@@lonesomedove325 the book sounds so interesting, I have got to take a look at it.
As for the movie, the movie was astonishing absolutely brilliant. The best movie of 2018 hands down. You'll feel the emotions of Starr and all the people going through Joy, sadness, Frustration, anger. You can feel the passion behind the actors and actresses From beginning to end it was a ride to remember. The hate you give deserves rewards no questions ask. I love that movie so much I am going to definitely add it to my collection when it comes to DVD and blue ray. Everybody in the theater were so emotional when watching that movie. So many people crying and so many people cheering. It was so good people clapped when it was over.
Yes! Go watch it! Have a great time. I know you will enjoy yourself 😁😁😁
I don't go to the movies much, but I'm definitely going to see this!
@@lonesomedove325 trust me! It is really worth it! I have to read the book. But the movie is gold. I rated the movie a 10/10 my friend is a very picky critic and he rated it 9.5/10 that is really high for his standards. I am sure you'll love it. I hope you have fun! 😁
@Niqui H well, because my parents are made up of two different racial groups. I guess it would be Biracial black. But still black none the less.
Why must her movies make me cry?! She's always tugging at my heart strings. 😢
Rue is all grown up
tatsuo71 wait what??? R u serious??
Yup, that Rue from The Hunger Games
Omg i can't believe that's her😍
Wow

She is only oppressed in her mind.

*who
It does. My Ex-husband was white and had no idea I did it until he experienced me around my family. I didn't even think about it and found his surprise funny. Long story short; he didn't find it funny, badgered me about it for a few years, then I finally said, "Boy, bye." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Such is life.😊
Same.
I didn't even think twice about it until I watched this film. I hope it gets more publicity.

I have watched this movie four times but everytime i watch it i literally cry...love from Kenya
Great interview, but one part of it made me sad. She said the goal for black people watching this movie was to feel comfortable being themselves and see themselves represented on screen. It's like, damn, we've really messed up as a society when a GOAL for a group of people is "look and feel normal on screen." That's how they should be allowed to feel all the time, in all situations. I know I don't have to deal with that as a white person and it's just a sign of how far we have to go to actually live up to the ideas our country was supposed to be founded on.
Yeah, feel normal by seeing yourself on screen.... being privy to police brutality.
you my friend are invited to all the future cookouts
cosmictoria no he’s not keep it up and you won’t be invited to the cookout.
She's not black.
I never thought it was this bad in the US or anywhere else in the world ,to be black .But watching this movie today has had me appreciate myself and my skin color.
Can you imagine if a white actress said ‘ Black people crying?’ Why can’t we just all be people….

Amandla means Power in Xhosa (South Africa). The phrase was popularized during apartheid era by freedom fighters.

People like this pushed me from a liberal to a moderate. Hate will not win- regardless of who spews it.
You are crying
no, no, fix racism with more racism … just like "fight fire with fire"
Did you understand the context in which she was saying this? She said the point was to make White people see what people of color experience, and hopefully feel empathy for us. What is it about this message that you find so extreme?
@@juleswinnfield616 the assumption that white people weren't already sympathetic. the assumption that white people haven't also experienced things to be sympathetic of. the assumption that all white people are just copies of the same white people template. … ya know, all the same racist stereotypes that everyone complains that white people subject _them_ to.
@@juleswinnfield616 what's 'extreme'? that noah creates a lie of framing that 'black boys being shot by police "is happening now _all_ the time." the assumption that the black 'boys' are only innocent victims of white brutality. the assumption that it's only innocent black 'boys' whose names deserve to be remembered. the assumption that white people weren't already sympathetic. the assumption that white people haven't also experienced things to be sympathetic of. the idea that 'code-switching' is normal and not a racist behavior of deception based around racial bigotry white people don't understand formal vs informal interactions. the assumption that white kids don't need to be taught to respect authority b/c they have immunity. the assumption that all white people are just copies of the same white people template. that "white people crying was the goal" is an applause line because of some collective punishment of shared shame is justified … ya know, all the same racist stereotypes that everyone complains that white people subject _them_ to.
such a beautiful human she is !
Such a great baldy you are.
I love both of you guys so much
I love you loving yourself so much that you chose to love others as well. Nuff respect young brother
Problem is that the people who most need to see this movie are the last who would go.
That is sadly so true. I just hope that with the release of this movie, and other similar socially conscious films, more of our K-12 teachers will be inspired to share these with their students. That's the only realistic way I can think of that can expose these types of films to people who would otherwise never desire to see them.
kimberley brown Ok
That's true. don't want to be pessimist, but for me that HATE isn't not just gonna go right away looking at how deep that have been developed. But we HOPE!
The world is changing it won't be about race soon enough

"Empathy" combined with "goal was to make white people cry". That's not an empathy, that's a racism.
Damn she cute
I hardly ever cry when reading books or watching films (even when rlly fudging sad for the characters), but that book had me bawling twice and it wouldn't surprise me if the movie had the same effect. It's a book that is more than worth the time.
This aged like milk.
Yup. Now she just dropped a music video so cringy, crying about her victimhood. An actress with a multi-million dollar net worth screaming for a whambulance to a beat.
The context in which this was said, is still very much valid today.

@@juleswinnfield616except if you actually look at the data instead of the bs narrative. You’ll see that unarmed black people are not getting killed left and right. The year of the racial reckoning had millions of police interactions and only around twelve unarmed black people were killed.
It’s a lie.
@@juleswinnfield616umm what context is that? Assuming that white people have no capacity to feel when black people auffer?
Allyiah Simon.....thank you for making that point. In America, when a black person says a person is talking white, some people (even some black people) think that "talking" or "speaking white (which does involve code switching) means that a person is speaking properly. This perceived definition comes from the thought process that white is right. From my experience, "Speaking White"(one form of code switching..which is sometimes necessary depending on the environment) does not necessarily mean "Speaking Properly". "Talking white" means speaking nasally or in a midwestern tone, or when every sentence spoken sounds like a question. There is a definite accent but it should not be misconstrued as an indicator of proper American English speaking. Take Maya Angelou, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., James Earl Jones, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman....etc... all speak or have spoken proper English whereas their grammar and diction is immaculate yet none of them have or have had the accent with regards to our definition of when a person of color or a person from a different culture is speaking "white" or rather (in my region) with a certain Midwestern accent..
Amazing lady, especially when you realise she's just 20 years old.
I was very fortunate to be able to work on this film. I love that it's getting great reviews, and recognition.
I love the sincerity & authenticity of this interview. It reveals much in such a short amount of time.
She’s so talented and beautiful! I watched the movie with my family and I cried. I cried because I felt the pain of those families. I cried because I have a stepson, two brothers, a dad , a nephew that I pray are always seen as humans first if ever stopped by cops. I pray for their safety and the safety of all of our families. This movie did an outstanding job relating our pain so we could start a healthy conversation. Please have conversations and let’s take some actions to help our communities! Thanks Trevor!
*"Somebody give this girl a role in black panther II"* Tichalla's voice

"My goal was to make white people cry" Audience: claps and cheers enthusiastically.
I love her. I just wish they casted a girl who resembled the character in the book. Dark skin actresses barely get cast.
Hakeem Haye true though. There’s a lot of colorism in Hollywood still. Let’s hope that gets changed.
She probably had the best audition.. She's brilliant & very talented
@@theodorable6817 Same
Haye:
Honestly, I'm tired of hearing about the colorism thing. We all know that's how Hollywood is, they're always been racist like that. She got cast because she's a big enough name now to actually be
cast as the lead, and FYI, the author of the book the film is based on wanted her to play the character from the get-go. I'm sick and damn tired of hearing black people whine about this young actress getting roles, claiming she only gets them because she's light-skinned. It's pretty damn obvious to anyone with eyes that she's black, and she herself is very aware of the colorism issues in Holly-
wood when it comes to black actresses. I mean, is she supposed to turn down any role she gets
just because somebody whines about her being too light-skinned for it? Hell, no. She already turned down a role in Black Panther because she felt that a dark-skinned black actress should get it, so give her some credit for that, at least.
@@alondathomas293 Just because you get tired of it doesn't mean it will be over. And certainly doesn't mean you will stop hearing us "whine" about it. Your ignorance to serious situation it appalling. God bless you.

Bruh the way she speaks is amazing. I haven’t ever managed to say one coherent thing in my whole life, I wish I could public speak like this lol also the calmness that she radiates is so soothing
My daughter was recently applying to colleges and was called a nigger by someone in the administration office...as an African American Mom it really changed my perspective and desire for code switching. I relate to this interview and by virtue the movie as well...

Amazing that the people who cry racism are the ones spouting racist remarks.
How is what she said racist?
@@discobroccoli198 How is it not?
@@fatherlucid4995 the full context of what she’s saying is that it’s a drama about tragic events involving inner city black Americans. So making white people cry as in having an empathic reaction to the story.
@fatherlucid4995 so hoping for White people to have empathy towards people of color who experience prejudice is racist? Care to elaborate how?
@@Skutewhy specifically white people? Assuming white people don’t already empathize IS racist and prejudiced.
Looking forward to seeing it. And, just so you know, more than 20 years ago, I overheard a bunch of cast members from "Once on This Island" marveling about the same thing when the show was over... a bunch of white theater-goers in northwest Arkansas weeping because of what happened to a whole cast of characters of color. Art may be the best way to get to people who are so inoculated against tragedy in the news.

"Code Switching", finally a name for the position I've been forced into for 63 years. I'm also glad to hear that we are no longer automatically despised by others in our community. That it is recognised as a survival skill that we were forced to learn. I love the fact that today young people are not afraid to think outside the box. I am so proud of them.
I just love her so much. I remember seeing her in the movie The Hunger Games and now she's just great at this. I love the fact that her name is Amandla meaning power in Zulu ✊
I would love to see these two to have more conversations. They both speak eloquently but at the same time light-hearted. It was a joy to watch. I can't wait to see her grow!
I didn't know it was called code-switching. When I was a child, my parents called me a wigger because of how I spoke. All of my friends were black. White folks wouldn't let their kids befriend me. It wasn't until I got into high school and was spit on and called names I began realizing not everyone was like me. When I went to work for the government, I began code switching. I spoke one way at work and for my family and another way for my friends. It became automatic. My children still talk that way and they are grown. It never occurred to me that I was teaching it to my kids. However, when I visit them (they are grown adults), I know we use our one way of speaking with each other and when we're relaxing, but a completely different "white" speech when we're out in public.
Tawnya Luke yeah corporate black America do it and many more, it can mess with your identity

Tawnya Luke I wish you all the best and great 👍 success.
"white people crying is the goal" - how is that? I am a white heterosexual man. Is this wrong?
White people feeling empathy was the goal. Crying is just a way to express that emotion. The goal was for White people to care about what people of color experience in our society.
What makes you beleive that white men don't care about the others? You try to say that we are different?
@@juleswinnfield616 Why white people tho? I don't get it race should never matter. I think everyone feels empathy regardless of race. I didn't see much racism tho compared to the out of context clips I have to admit. They made it seems worst.
@2nerC9 I assume it may be because people of color are already aware of social prejudices, as most unfortunate will either experience it or at least have witnessed it first hand. So, the goal might have been to have the message reach communities that aren't exposed to it, or at least not to the same degree that most people of color typically are.
@2nerC9 I assume that it would be because most POC are already quite familiar with social prejudices, as unfortunately, most have been exposed to it firsthand.
I think the goal was to have the message reach communities that perhaps aren't as familiar, at least not to the same extent that POC are exposed to it, in hopes of spreading awareness and gaining sympathy.
OMG.. what an amazing young lady. So adorable!
So beautifully spoken

@@darkstalkerknight63 you do see anti white hatred here whether you choose to accept it or not. You should stop being a bad person and instead listen up when white people are telling you what’s affecting them
So young, so intelligent and a great communicator
She has the prettiest eyes, they are like “happy” eyes, and her smile is so contagious! This was a great movie!!!
They keep saying “happening now” it’s nothing new, Somebody please tell me when it slowed down the 80’s, 90’s, 00’’s and 10’s are all the same. More attention now that the internet is here. Haven’t seen the film yet but it sounds like one I’ll be watching this weekend.
Ok but am I going to cry more than when I watched Fruitvale Station, that set the bar pretty high
Movie was very good and I could relate to a lot of moments in it.
I cried during the preview, so mission accomplished. Hopefully it will spread awareness to those who need it the most
I'd like to clarify that in which they converse about itsnt speaking proper it's the tone of voice. We adapt the white culture when talking. We know as a culture if we are seen in a bad light we can reflect a sterotype. Small explanation. 4:33 great point.
allyiah simon Thank you for saying this. Perfect way to explain it.
allyiah simon 💯💯💯
@@scorpysubb Vincent Bockaert I assure you caucasian individual can act out of unifrom but this way of living isnt out of their culture,I think everyone tries to act accordingly at the work place. And I can see youve been affect by this systematic dilemma unknowingly. White culture is the most prominent amongst society. Its over thrown the way we look at our selves in lack representation and it isnt till now that we demand more diversity and the proper way. I hope in the future we can integrate our culture into the work place and not be seen as improper. Essentially speaking with this tone gets you ahead. Its a "white tone". In a white world. The further you get into the more you stray away from your culture into theirs. You habe to then think why is my culture seen as unprofession also being rejected. It isnt about racism persay,being that you can speak professional,polite and not use this tone. Makes it the seprate from another. Its tiring becoming another person. This doesnt just have to be in the work place. Usually when afro american people come into work in official settings you straighten your hair,talk in this tone and take on mannerism that arent our own. Have to work twice as hard for these stereotype to not be printed on you. Even our ethnic names can have pre assumptions based on race. Becoming the white narrative to date. Its this mentality that carried with us from generation to generation. I think you should watch this movie because it brings up some very interesting points of what this im trying to explian is.
@@Hero-up8hv Yah but this is mostly the case in nations with majority white populations, not saying there can't be improvements, of course there can, and I'm always for more integration, but it makes sense why white culture would be the most predominant in countries majority populated by white people. Most nations in Africa or Asia do not have nearly as much integration or respect for other cultures as the US or Europe does.
She is amazing.. she said everything, if you really understand 🤷🏽♀️🖤🖤
Just discovered her. I think she's a talent to watch.
Hearing him pronounce her name correctly gave me life. I understand that if you're not southern African it can be hard but since Trevor is it's amazing to hear him say it right for others to hear
She’s so pretty, smart, and incredibly talented. I don’t understand why she gets so much hate.
Powerful. She is such a grounded, calmly articulated power house of a person. Appreciate her clarity and serenity in her presence. Powerful young person. ❤️❤️❤️
Whose here after Trevor and Amandla had awkward interview on Daily Social distancing show 😅
I've seen the movie and her acting is on point. The guy who plays her father does a great job also...Love the movie!💗💗💗
I cried through most of the film. It was told in a educational way instead of an accusatory way. Highly recommend everyone see it. Her Dad was my favorite character.
the facts spoken in this interview are heavy . 😭 . so much intellect and passion ! I’ll never forget when the film was over , I went to the bathroom & a white woman who had just walked out of the theater with me went out if her way to hold the door for me ... 😭 I think she felt bad .
Amandla is one of this generation stellar actors. She's so captivating and I love her more and more after each interview.
I swear she the most beautiful girl I have ever seen..wow praise to creater
Such a beautiful and intelligent young woman.
You right
She’s So Graceful And Well Put Together.
They are both lovely, eloquent and intelligent speakers. Amandla promoted the movie so well and I can't wait to see it. Definitely read the book if you haven't already!
I saw the movie yesterday with my mom and my little brother (15 years old). Both my mom and I cried throughout the film because it just hit too close to home for us. It was like watching all of my fears coming to life in front of me. After the film ended, we all talked about what we loved and what we disliked about the film. And we talked about the real world implications of it. My mother told me she cried because all she could think of was, "what if that was my son?" We're from St. Louis, MO, USA. We've seen these types of killings up close.
This is what's so great about Trevor. Because of his background (growing up in South Africa with an African mother and European father) he has a broad understanding of issues and can actually pronounce people's names. Had Jon Stewart decided to appoint another white male they wouldn't be able to articulate non-white issues as well as Trevor does or even just pronounce names correctly.
I was on the fence about this movie because I thought it would make me uncontrollably angry like most slavery or black people struggle movies. I literally put it off until I had seen every other movie that was out at the time. I finally watched it! It had me crying like a baby, laugh, righteously angry, and ultimately proud. I'm not much of a Tupac fan but the tupac music reference in the movie really came full circle at the end. This movie deserves an award.
Anyone else fall in love with her vocabulary?
Omg She's so pretty. 😻💗
We need more great, very enlightening young adult people like her in the world
