Status Updates From Dear Martin

Quan is kinda speaking facts (-> not the gang part, though)

Making the two cops related is a bad move in my opinion. Takes away from the systematic aspect and paints the picture as these cops are just bad.


Would be cool to see more black people in the story that are not rich, thugs or ice spice

Jared redemption arc? Not excited fuck that guy

Manny got shot by a white racist cop

Jus very injured

Saying that jus mom is just as prejudiced as the cop that shot manny is crazy (p.130)

This woman is really lazy with names (Dr. DRE, really?!)
Are mannys feelings valid? (-> is it worth selling yourself out to assimilate into your surroundings
Manny finally stands up for himself, i will refrain from calling him token if he keeps this up

Jus FINALLY mans up and tells it straight
Token is not a fan
Depressed about S-Judy
The name BlaKK is fitting
Jus whoops BlaKKs and Jareds ass

Is the author pro isreal??? How often it has been mentioned leads to wonder. I don't like her use of "half-black" when referencing mixed people and somehow equating a white-jew to the struggles of a black man.

Jus and SJ win there debate talking about black incarcerations (-> watch jared get an ulcer because of this)

Manny scared of black women?! Calling him token until this is resolved

SJ and 🧊🌶 beef over Jus
Nov 1 Martin entry very powerful
Jus has this thing where he trys to assimilate whitness (-> snowbunny hunter -> self hate)

White people dressing up as Stereotypes (went as expected)
Jus and Manny should have not agreed to do this -> trying to be liked by the white
Trey is speaking straight facts
BlaKKKe got punched by trey (-> liberation)
This book was definitely written for white people (-> very surface level rightnow)
Is Jared a cartoonish level of racist? Or is that just how certain white people are?

Jus has internalized racism (jus: "shot kid looks like thug")
Jus back together with 🧊🌶
Racist cop shot by quan
Jared is the white devil we were warned of
SJ an ally?
Manny should end friendship with whites(Token-Black)

Introduced to Jus and Melo
Melo is blond ice spice
Chapter 1 is basically that one key and peele sketch (MEGAAAN! GET AWAY FROM ME!)
Jus was handcuffed by racist cop
Handles (given very mischievous looking situation) by escalating the situation.
Revealing that he has been tailing jus since he entered hood
Melo being lightskinned reason for cops reaction (darkskinned <> whiteskinned frail woman needing protecting)

Justyce never told his mom that he had a girlfriend, and she found out.
