Because I know nothing about it but apparently it's originally a movie. Is it a comedy? Yeeees it's a really funny satire.

crazyforgaga 332 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 why do people have to hate on white people to lift themselves up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007 5,291 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I don't get the hate, they didn't mock "white" people, they're just calling out **** that actually happens to the black community. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you see y'all complain that others call white people sensitive when y'all take something as tame as this film and saying it's "hating white people" People who haven't seen the original film should not be commenting on what it will or will not be like.

We are all equal but historically not all people are TREATED equally. All people are still not treated equally. White people in America are at the top of the food chain. Apparently the show is satire. It's comedy. Based on what some white people say. Whites are not being threatened. Meanwhile blacks were enslaved and segregated from society for far too long. It would not be the same if they made a Dear Black People. I know people are gonna quote me and disagree but I stand firm in my belief as a minority living in the US.

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I thought the movie was great but I don't know if the concept is going to work for a series. I feel like it would work better if it was like 'Black-ish' or 'The Real O'Neals' were the messages are more diverse. The movie relied heavily on one single message so I really doubt they can manage to succeed with these series. Edit: The message behind the projects is good and valid tho. I'm just not feeling like watching a whole series about the same topic, it has been done before and it has failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess what, black people aren't being oppressed that much anymore either! Enough with the victim card. The president was black, the richest couple (Beyonce and Jay Z) are black, heads of companies are black, managers are black, teachers are black, some of the most important and influencal people are black. This whole hating on white people trend needs to stop, it is not going to fix the problems the black community faces today GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I'm white and I think the movie is ****ing hilarious. I see where you are coming from but this movie (and show) are based on things that white people mostly just don't get. For example: white people say "Can I touch your hair?" "Oh so you're black but, you're not like ghetto" "I mean he was black but, he talked really white. You know...educated. " Etc.

RaRaRamen 1,358 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Guys...How is this trailer racist? It's literally a girl asking people not to do blackface. I need a winter candy apple and an iced gingerbread candle, both three-wick, or I'm boycotting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, if I said a black guy cant be Abraham Lincoln for Halloween, I'd be called a racist. She just told me I can't be Obama for Halloween. Like, I love the guy what's the big deal? Spoiler Who goes as a president for Halloween though? I mean...I could see Trump 'cause he's scary...but that's a different discussion for a different day. Idk, all in all, if this is serious and not satire, it'll only do more harm than good. I'm not even half white, just light skinned, and even I feel a tad alienated just from watching the trailer Then again, I know nothing about the series or movie so educate me, fans.

You can become rich, you can get a big job, no matter who you are, don't use your color as an excuse The black community faces a huge wave of murder, crime, and having children before marriage, focus on that instead of hating on white people.
