Dear White People follows the story of four drastically different Black students at an Ivy League college and explores the idea of racial identity in ‘post-racial’ America. This film is scheduled for theatrical release this year and it looks like a must-see for anyone concerned about such a divisive issue This film comes at a critical time in America as things are starting to heat up again along racial (&class) lines. It has always amazed me how non-white people are instantly placed in a one-dimensional box without any complexity whatsoever. Our portrayals in the mainstream media have a lot to do with this. It's about time that a film like this came out to show folks in a humorous yet thought-provoking way that NO, we do not all like gangsta rap, we do not all end our sentences with "know what I'm sayin'", we do not all like fried chicken & watermelon, we all can't sing, dance, play basketball, we all don't look alike & individually, we cannot speak for or represent the millions of black citizens across the land. Being black in America is that weird of an experience for those of you who live abroad reading this. It's like living in your crazy uncle's house who is always seeing or hearing things and blaming you for it. Really.
Look out for this film when it finally gets released nationwide.
