Review of Dear White People (2014) by Okai — 06 Apr 2018

Unfulfilled potential. Trailer was the best part. 3 stars cuz she’s got nice eyes and decent acting.

I’m a minority and this movie is awful and offensive. Narcissistic privileged girl who gets a pass as a character bc her skin is darker than the usual overly, self important pretentious c**t.

I like the idea, and fresh perspective, and maybe sometimes things have to be offensive to get attention, but drawing racial lines is too easy. For example, instead of saying ‘dear white people’ which instantly calls out a battle invitation, how about ‘love, black people’ This will get your messages put in a more positive tone, and being directed towards everyone outside of your own group including other minorities and just plain ignorant people, whole saying this is my perspective instead of saying you and this specific group and it’s perspective is the problem.
