?Dear White People? Schools America on Modern-Day Racism
 

lets see if you can talk about it without pie charts and insults :2 cents::2 cents:


Dear White People is gearing up for its official theatrical release and schooling modern-day racists with a no-holds-barred approach that simply can?t be ignored.


The film made its first claim to fame at the Sundance Film Festival, and the powerful message quickly whisked it into the media?s spotlight.

Dear White People combines comedy and hard-to-swallow truth in a way that is forcing many viewers to take a second look at the country they have already deemed as ?post-racial.?

The setting is the fictional Winchester University, where the Black population is miniscule and the acceptance of those students on campus seems relatively nonexistent.

It?s a story that is all too common in many universities in America, however, Dear White People director Justin Simien is one of the first filmmakers to tackle the subject head on.

?I always felt like this conversation had a very pop sensibility to it,? Simien told SF Gate. ?I think Dave Chappelle set us up. I think Spike Lee set a path back in the ?80s and ?90s. I was like, why hasn?t anyone done a movie like this? I was surprised that I?m one of the first to sort of head-on take on that issue.?

While he is surprised that he is one of the first to tackle the subject in such a manner, many major publications and organizations have already taken notice.

Simien was listed as one of Variety?s ?10 Directors to Watch? and he also won a special Sundance jury prize as a ?breakthrough talent.?

The film climbed its way to success rather quickly, but the script itself was years in the making.

According to SF Gate, Simien first began writing the script back in 2006.

At the time, he was a student at Chapman University in Southern California, which gave him the inspiration for the film.

The original title for the project was Two Percent, a title reflecting on the approximate percentage of African-American students at the university.

That?s when Simien realized that the script wouldn?t be as imaginative as he had hoped in some cases.

One part of the script included a scene where white students at the university donned blackface. At the time, Simien felt like the scene was too far-fetched.

It was only a matter of time before a party at the University of California, San Diego, proved to Simien that the scene was far from absurd.

The UC San Diego party boasted what students called a ?ghetto? theme, and the party was called the ?Compton Cookout.?

A group of white students came to the party dressed in bandanas, gold chains, large white T-shirts and, of course, blackface.

?I took the blackface party out because I thought it was too outlandish,? Simien told SF Gate. ?Then when that happened at UC San Diego, I sort of rabbit-holed down the research path, (thinking) ?Oh, I wasn?t pushing buttons. I was talking about something that actually happens.??

The film is expected to hit theaters on Oct. 17, and its red band trailer is already in circulation.

Explicit language and sexual content has earned the film an R rating and the red band label means it can only run before other R-rated, NC-17-rated or unrated movies in theaters.

I'll let my pie chart speak for itself.

Poor black people. If it's any consolation, I wish they had never been brought over from Africa in the first place.

Cool, another anti white racist movie. How many white guilters will be born after this movie? Brainwashing America!

Poor good black folk and evil racisss whities :2 cents:

You didn't watch the trailer. I think this movie shows we have moved on.

Hoop earings - That is the big racial slam? Time for a new soapbox.

actually you are the asshole they are talking about. :2 cents::2 cents: you say anti white! while being anti black! its funny you told me you are not a racist! you are blind to your own racism

it's not going to school anybody on anything.

it's a fucking movie and it's getting mediocre viewer reviews.

there are lots of movies with messages passion of the christ is one

WTF are you talking about? I see them equally and do not judge by color.

I am anti double standards, you moron. I have repeated that to you for 100 times, yet you fail to comprehend.

Example:

Black person on TV: "I voted for him because he is black".
Nothing happens.

White person on TV: "I voted for him because he is white"
Scandal, "he is racist" and he is destroyed.

COMPRENDI, you moron? I AM AGAINST DOUBLE STANDARDS, not against any race.

I am really shocked someone can be THAT stupid not to understand that.

i understand that. nevertheless, this ain't one of them.

Sir John Hawkins is history's greatest monster and there's no close second. That's a fucking fact. When you look at the consequences of their actions, Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Muhammad, and even Genghis Khan were boy scouts in comparison to Sir John Hawkins, whose name should be shat upon until the end of time. Imagine if no slave ships had ever reached the New World. My God, what might have been. Instead we have Baltimore, Oakland, Detroit, New Orleans, Washington D.C., St. Louis, Indianapolis, Atlanta, etc. Black mob violence out of control, 80% of their kids born out of wedlock, illiterate, innumerate, and completely unskilled. Trillions of dollars spent on welfare transfers and it only gets worse.

Will blacks ever stop whining? No.

dont play stupid :disgust

"Poor good black folk and evil racisss whities"

you do the ebonics thing a lot. yeah you are not a racist :1orglaugh all this anti white talk like the KKK. i bet you that thing in jasper texas was just a bad accident :2 cents:

Fixed that for you.

Homicide
According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and Native Americans and Asians 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white homicide victims murdered by whites, and 93% of black victims murdered by blacks.

Now consider that blacks are only like 14% of the population. What an asset to any civilization blacks are!

thanx 4 reading :)

if obama had a son he'd look like that black guy who's being persecuted while attending a top-notch ivy league school.

Black nobel prize winners: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...obel_laureates

Blacks have been the recipients in three of six award categories: Peace (11), Literature (3), and Economics (1). Not a single winner in the sciences.

In other words, no need for facts facts.

Oh man; talk about the pot calling brassmonkey black

Without looking at the link, one of the black peace recipients was Obama which was given to him for doing NOTHING.

So I am racist because I make fun of the likes of you who cries racism when there is none?
Or that I make fun of your slang?
Damn, you are stupid.

In all fairness, a black person doing nothing is a lot more peaceful than what they normally do, so I'm all for that award.

the nobel prize committee should ask for that back from obama, he's set racial peace back decades with his need to chime in on shit.

lol at the suggestive thumbnail of a big black dude and a white chick ready to suck a cock... with the title 'dear white people'.

what if the thumbnail would be a big white dude with a black chick ready to suck a cock, and the title on it would be 'dear black people'. LOL nooooo thats racist!!!!
