Racism
1. event- At the beginning of the book, the police officer pulled Starr and Khalil over for no reason. The officer was walking from his car to Khalil's. She saw something in Khalil's hand and shot him 3 times even though he was only holding a hair brush. The officer just assumed he had a gun without even looking at his hand properly.
2. event- Starr had been interviewed on the news about Khalil's death. The interviewer had initially been more focused on finding reasons why Khalil was a bad person and was a drug dealer, instead of going through the case more.
3. event- Starr's dad Maverick was having and argument with Mr. Lewis outside of Maverick's shop. The argument wasn't physical at all, because Maverick was just asking why Mr. Lewis risked his life and told the reports about what King (gang leader) did. Police ended up coming and making Maverick go on the ground and ask for his ID. They ignore Mr. Lewis the whole time.
