I always enjoyed the first two seasons of The Boondocks due to their clever, mature, and realistic view of racism in American society. Despite being a comedy, the situations that it presented to the viewer often left them thinking about social issues in a intelligent and self reflective manner.
To be fair, The Boondocks was mostly a satire of black culture though, not white culture. It made a lot of ex-civil rights leaders really mad because it lampooned the ignorant and materialistic aspects of contemporary black culture. The white people were mostly props, with a few key exceptions. The concept is rather different to the one of this show.

This, on the other hand, looks like complete garbage. It is obviously riding off of the "fuck white people" sentiment that has seemingly gained popularity. This is race baiting and I doubt any kind of positivity can be gleaned from it.
And judging from the trailer they should probably change the title to "Dear Racist Frat Guys" since they're grossly overgeneralizing and condemning all white people.

This is my favourite take on racism in Boondocks haha

I wish all of this shit would just stop. Can we PLEASE stop judging people based on their race? Stuff like this is just pouring more gasoline onto the fire.
"Dear White People" shouldn't be a thing. "Dear Black People" shouldn't be a thing. "Dear Latino People" shouldn't be a thing. It's all the same, with all judges on physical details and not with character. You can't just make something like "Dear Creative People"? or "Dear Smart People"? At least those titles are judging people's character and NOT what they look like.

The movie was extremely unsuccessful. Why would anyone create a TV Series about a hugely unsuccessful movie? The show isn't "mocking" the everything is racist outrage (the creator literally tweeted "fuck white people" "no, seriously, fuck white people"), it was created to be racist against white people.
Hmm, I know this is the film from a few years ago but if anything it seems to mock the ridiculous everything is racist crowd. Anyway still a… more divisive and stirring film/series however once again load of people will now watch this series due to controversy, very few people will actually cancel their subscription.
Because *Dear White People * is a social commentary on the black experience in a mostly white/occasionally racially insensitive college university, that also points the finger at black people n a few certain respects( like the idea of what it means to be black).
From what I've heard, the original film is really just a satire of racism in America, but didn't necessarily portray white people in a negat… moreive light. But I dunno. I haven't seen it. I saw the trailer for the show and it looks awful. I know countless other people have said this, but it bares repeating because it's true: if this was called Dear Black People or Dear (insert any other race besides caucasian here) there would be a huge uproar. So why does Dead White People get a free pass? Maybe the show will actually be good and it was advertised really poorly. I dunno. But that trailer hasn't given me much hope.
I think it's normal for anyone to get triggered over real, actual racism. This show is real, actual racism, but against white people in this case. If there was a racist show filled with white-supremacy, I, too, would get triggered.
Like I said in regards to Milo. It's a marketplace of ideas and boycotting is one of the tools in a consumers arsenal if they're highly dis… moresatisfied with the product. Are people who canceled Netflix over this easily-triggered crybabies? Maybe, but that's their problem.
It really seems to me that the entire idea behind this show is:
"Teach white people a lesson about how insanely over-privileged they are,… more as well as how blissfully ignorant they are as to what it's like to be black in America. Act as though the whole lot of them would gladly take part in something as abhorrent as blackface parties and punish them on the basis that they have no consideration whatsoever for any race other than their own."
If that's not what this show is about, then this trailer really did an awful job at representing it.
And what exactly is the point of such a show called "Dear White People," with a black person narrating what we can and cannot do? (It's obvious no one should ever do black-face) but why make a show about the fucking obvious and play it off as if all white people take part in a disgusting act?

Dear Black People is basically Fox News.
You're stretching the truth. What makes you think they're accusing all whites of doing blackface? It seems more like they were chiding people who do blackface and those who think things like that are acceptable. If you don't fit into one of those groups, chances are you aren't the one being made fun of in that situation.
Chill out and examine this from a critical standpoint instead of assuming the worst based on the title.

I never get political on this site, but in my honest opinion it doesn't look good. Maybe it will be different from what it seems, but what the writer tweeted isn't really encouraging.
Ugh I heard about this on Phillip DeFranco Show,he says it's fail marketing when he saw the trailer and he says it could be worth watching?But I don't think I will watch it.As much I enjoy political incorrectness shows and picking fun at things that make PC culture go crazy and start calling out racsism where it's not.
I think this show only gets a narrative from only a black women perspective and there view on things that happen around them,but no allowing others within differenet community not just the black community it gives me a reason why it could fail cause of that Marketing Fail,they just made in the trailer and why possibilitie of it happening could be true.
We have seen from what MTV,now does everyday(yeah they are truly anti-white,I mean have you seen there White People New Year's Resolution video?)That says much about them cause they are PC and SJW and they show it every time
Here's Philip DeFranco Video on it The Truth Of Dear White People also if it does urn out to be good?Then maybe I will give it a chance,but have to wait for reviews of it,first.

but why make a show about the fucking obvious and play it off as if all white people take part in a disgusting act?
Because alot of … morewhite people still do it. If they didn't, a show/movie like this wouldn't be made.
Also congratulations to you too on missing the point.
I think I know myself better than you do to say that I wouldn't mind if for the same context someone would say this.
The only way th… moreat could be true, is if people didn't have any misconceptions about themselves, which obviously isn't true.
"the writer (who is awful)" "with healthy doses of anti Trump hysteria" "Buzzfeed-like series" The connotations of your arguments hugely imply that.
The writer is awful. His twitter is a maelstrom of anti Trump hysteria. And this entire series does look and sound exactly like something you'd see from Buzzfeed (which is insanely popular, by the way). This is all true. But, the idea I was passing any kind of sweeping review over a series I've not seen, nor plan to (which I said) is factually false.
Saying: "personally this seems dreadful to me (not that, again, the reactions have been any better)" is not equivalent to saying it just sucks, end off, as you attempted to make the case of… [view original content]
Apparently you fail at understanding simple concepts like satire, because from that trailer it pokes fun at race baiting...white privilege and sjw. Ultimately it sees the entire race issue as a stupid farce for the most part. But sure...if you are a stupid ultra liberal...you can just blindly say...Yep...tell it to those stupid conservative racists. Or you can be pissed about it if you are some conservative dick bag who seems to think any time someone talks about race...they are being reverse racist to them.

I'm sorry, but that is complete horse shit. A lot of white people still do it? Bullshit. Prove it and I'll give in, but you can't prove such an outrageous claim that happens to be so far from the truth. They reason they are making this show is because they are fucking racist.

It's called "Dear White People." Is it not? "White People" aren't a segment of the white race; saying "white people" sounds like you mean every white person. If they don't mean to direct this at all white people, they should have called it "Dear Racists." A shitty title for a shitty show. I can't really chill out when I see racism from wherever it's coming from.

Not interested in the series (because it just doesn't look funny), but I have to say the trailer gives this annoying "remember to feel guilt… morey whiteys" -vibe. I'm all for tackling issues like racial tensions with comedy, but in all honesty this doesn't seem like a smart satire, but just pure race baiting to divide the people even further. If it's not that, then the editors did poor job of showing it with the trailer.
You said outright that the show is actual racism against whites. I don't think you can even say that as a guess without watching the original film (and I've watched the trailer for it and it doesn't look racist).
Oh my god. You must be one of those people Ive been fighting with on facebook. Im glad youre a fan of Bates Motel, though.
Seriously thou… moregh, why is this not okay? There is nothing about Marion Crane that demands she be white. She's white in the original because, 1960s film. Bates Motel is not a rabid recreation of the movie anyway. Theyve made a lot of departures from the story including Norman having an older brother. So why is it so important that Marion, in this case, be white?

Irony (?) It's a Korean studio that did the animation.

That is literally all it's about. It's called Dear White People. Have you seen the trailer? It was fucking gross.

Put the brakes on your persecution complex, there's no black supremacy here.
Didn't mean to imply there was, but there is racism against white people nevertheless.

Yeah, I've honestly heard so many different things about what the actual show is supposed be, at least 2 of them contradicting each other.
You're the one that's missing the point, just joining in on the gasoline pouring.
I'm really not. Especially seeing as how i actually watched the movie its based on.

Right, I'm the "snowflake," here whose gotten upset....
Asks the condescending, misguided, judgemental person. Anyway, I can "judge," as you put it because last I checked, I'm entitled to an opinion.

Yup pretty not encouraging for people to watch it during it's release lol that's pretty bad
Honestly it's always really awkward when political threads get made on this site.
True
I saw bits of it when the movie first came out. Never seen the movie but that wasnt the impression I got. I guess it depends on your prespective.
I'm not talking about the movie. I'm talking about this Netflix show.
I'm sorry, but that is complete horse shit. A lot of white people still do it? Bullshit. Prove it and I'll give in, but you can't prove such an outrageous claim that happens to be so far from the truth. They reason they are making this show is because they are fucking racist.
Will point out that this Jack Moore isn't on the IMDB credits of either the 2014 movie or the 2017 series.

Honestly the woman in the trailer comes off as extremely arrogant, as if she somehow has ultimate authority over what is acceptable and what isn't.
You said outright that the show is actual racism against whites. I don't think you can even say that as a guess without watching the original film (and I've watched the trailer for it and it doesn't look racist).
Oh shit I better scroll down. I haven't seen season 3 yet!
Jack Moore - this series' writer - wasn't a part of the 2014 movie, and no writer whatsoever has been credited for the 2017 series on IMDb yet.
However, this very much appears to be the correct Jack Moore, evident by the age correlation, and the fact he shares a middle name with the official twitter account. Basically, everything checks out.
Jack P Moore.
Born John PATRICK Moore.
Granted, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm not far off. If it is wrong, however, do say and show so, and I shall edit my post accordingly.
