HTML-код

- Justin Simien's Dear White People is a show about open dialogue and a multiplicity of views, and it sends the message that nothing about issues of racism and representation is simple or one-sided.

@SCREENPRISM thanks for the video. The dialogue and cinematography on DWP the series was phenomenal and I'm glad you all did an analysis. I remember binge-watching it when it premiered earlier this year. It is a shame you have to put this disclaimer in the comments. I think people's inability to critically discuss race, art, and media speaks volumes about their maturity, but how far we have to go in the USA.
If it wasn't for White people there would be no Netflix...or internet or phones or ........
blurelic4 that's because Dear White People is seen as a racist double standard.
The movie was one sided crapola, per lib usual. It would be nice if they would use logic , instead of emotions and total disregard of the facts.
@ScreenPrism. DWP won't affect anything. Take the latest Star Wars films. The black character of Finn doesn't get the coveted white goddess Rei. He's not good enough for her. And this film is creatively in control of a "woke" white woman.
What I thought was the most valuable thing about the show is how they portray many different black experiences. Coco, Reggie, Lionel, and Sam have all had their outlooks shaped differently by their experiences and the show acknowledges that they're all valid and worth trying to understand. Non-black liberals and conservatives alike tend to attempt to place black people in boxes to suit their respective agendas. It's a shame that so many people who could benefit from watching the show probably never will.
this is the exact thing that I've been trying to explain to people!
It's ridiculous how mentally handicapped they are to believe that another racist holding Comstock from having their life the blacks are the only race that suffer on every level because of their nature and capability of doing good for themselves these videos put some even more in a mentally handicapped position they should stop saying their African Americans because that's not what they are they are Americans they do not eat tarantulas and wear leopard skins like their ancestors that sold them still are doing
The show: Points out how everything about the shows intention of getting us to understand and empathize people we may not agree with.
RUclips Comments: Pointing out racism is the new racism.
AHHHHH that's why Reggie's episode is so amazing. It's Barry Jenkins's work. I literally couldn't breathe for two minutes when I thought Reggie would die.
This Netflix comedy is seriously underrated compared to GLOW. It’s smart, funny, and has a lot to say about race.
Great analysis! As black guy who went to a prestigious predominantly white institution in Massachusetts, I had a very similar experience with Winchester Finished season one and jumping into season 2. It's crazy, but in all my 22 years this little, unassuming Netflix show is probably the most relatable thing I've eve seen. With every character I COMPLETELY relate. Their flaws, their good side, the inner conflicts. It's amazing. So so glad they made this.
It does nail it doesn’t it.
everyone is so hung up on the shows name and doesn’t realize it’s not about white people doing horrible things the show is actually more about fighting within the black community. A lot of films paint all black people with the same brushstroke this doesn’t mean that they are all stereotypical necessarily but they usually all come from the same background and all have the same views. This talks about how black people often have differences in opinions on how they should deal with their oppression there’s always the Martin Luther King blacks and the Malcolm X blacks. Both are represented on the show and actually in the end you might be surprised over who wins. Also as a black woman i loved how they added in the dynamic about colorism which affects us so much. and guess who is mainly perpetuating colorism? black people not white yet it’s so detrimental. Basically Sam criticizes Coco for not being so militant but Coco tells her that because she’s light skin she gets away with being more militant because light skin/biracial women aren’t judged as harshly and when they do these things and don’t get to lose their femininity and desire which is so true! Sam the main character is also dating the white guy as you know and although she really likes him honestly doesn’t like that he’s white and doesn’t treat him well because of it so he leaves her rightfully. this show definitely holds black people accountable. don’t get so hung up on the name and actually watch it. i honestly think it could be an eye opener for a lot of non blacks people because a lot of you don’t know these things go on in our community

People avoid the show because they can see the message a mile away and their sick to death of hearing it.
The Crimson fucker or you judged a book by its cover. the show was nothing like what i thought it would be honestly
Black people, white people, I'm coming up with a show, it's called get the fuck off my lawn and go home, how about that
Then wtf is the point of naming it “dear white people” then. It turned so many people away and could of been greater than it is. It’s honestly their fault.
but why did they have to name it like that, that's just what I don't understand. epically if it isn't about white people. not attacking I'm just curious. I honestly thought when I saw the title the series was going to shame all white people into a stereotype. i cant blame people who would think this at first glance. a latino, African American, asian etc would think the same way if it said "dear so and so"
If you haven't watched the series, you shouldn't talk about the race issues you think it perpetuates. Seriously.
Patrick Hogan this is true, the show didn't try to force opinions on you - the characters just had their own. But come on, DEAR WHITE PEOPLE?? What the hell were they thinking when they decided to go with that title?
linde It’s a show based on a movie of the same title. Plus, her Dear White People radio show is the prominent, overarching storyline. It makes sense.
Patrick Hogan it totally makes sense, but it's also clear they chose this title to cause controversy. Which worked, obviously. The whole commentary community didn't even bother to do some research and instead they just walked right into it lmao
I wanted to watch it, but I stopped after two episodes because there is sex scenes and then there is soft-core porn, and DWP pole vaults over both and lands squarely in hardcore porn.
Honey Angel Why can’t television shows just give us the joyful sight of people murdering people instead? Who doesn’t want to watch that?
For all of you who haven’t jumped on Dear White People because you think the shows is nothing but a one sided argument about why “why white people suck” or something than watch the first 1:30 of this video. It gives you a clear rundown on what the show is truly about and how it seeks to examine how the perspectives of each character are neither completely right or completely wrong but rather influenced by their own complex personal experiences.
JetSetDex I really wanted to give the show the benefit of the doubt, but I despised Sam. She was so pretensious with no redeeming qualities right as the show started, I had little intetest to continue. Just bad writing if you want any viewer who doesn't completely agree with her beliefs
its been a while since I watched the show - but if you watch the later episodes - such as the episode about coco they do critique's Sam's behaviour
@@amandahhh6521 that might help me get through it. I really want to see how they judge her for being that way
Dear White People is an incredible show and this review hit every single reason why. Getting to explore each character in more depth made the series even more illuminating than the movie could have ever achieved in a standard cinematic two hours. Even though I was already engrossed in the show and each character, I was not prepared to experience what happened to Reggie. SJW aside, I could never stand in his shoes, and this show did an amazing job of planting me squarely in the moment, which is as close as my blonde, female self is ever going to get. Simien's work is a revelation.
MBailey ESL It's weird to be a Lionel in the process of becoming a Coco.
"My ethnic but non threatening voice" Idk who originally figured that voice out, but it is so prevalent on tv it's insane.
Not enough people give this show credit it’s so fucking good and I think more people should watch it
Most critics of the show haven't even watched the series and are criticising the show based on the name. It's a shame they called it 'dear white people' Its a pretty provocative title in my opinion.
sometimes the greatest hurdle toward understanding is over our pride.
That's the point. It's MEANT to be provocative.
lol. you get offended pretty easily and I say that as an "angry Black woman". just chill 🤷🏾♀️
@@felizeumida4374 the show adresses that in season 3
It’s kinda crazy too, cause in isolation it’s a pretty innocuous sentence when you think about it. As another commenter pointed out out, the title could have been giving off the message “Dear white people, we love and adore you”. It’s not inherently hostile, but it’s interesting that’s what white people immediately jump to when they’re ever addressed as a whole.
You guys are awesome! Just discovered your page and now I'm binge-watching all yer vids. Love it. Keep up the kick ass work!
Such an amazing series! Have not seen the film but I cant imagine how it could all be pushing into one single film adequately
Waouh ! you are doing such an incredible job with this channel ! Congratulations ! I really like watching your videos and this one in particular I JUST LOVE IT :)
I feel like you're judging Gabe a bit too harshly in bad faith in relation to how the show actually handled him. It feels like you're projecting this idea that Simian used that character to show how ignorant white people can be, but I don't think that's necessarily the case in the show. Case in point: when Gabe shows up to the meeting after it's revealed that he made the phone call, both Coco and Troy defend his choice. While there's certainly ignorance on Gabe's part, the show doesn't condemn Gabe - as you're suggesting - for making the call. This point is vital because it shows up at the end as to why Gabe can't be with Sam anymore - because she condemned him with the others instead of taking the leap into understanding his point of view (like Coco and Troy did immediately).
And the wait for season 2 begins~!
Thanks for the vid ScreenPrism!
I love this series so incredibly much and all aspects of it from the writing, cinematography, score, acting are all top notch. Characters feel increasingly genuine the more we as the viewers are shown their personal lives. They're written like people with real emotions and problems and quirks.
Brilliant series. the opening 15 minutes,and finding out who her boyfriend was, was awesome.really enjoyed it and looking forward to season 2.
so awesome! seriously love this channel!
This was an amazing analysis guys. Keep up the great work.
DEAR SCREENPRISM: Thank you for this great episode of one of the best series of 2017! Keep it coming!
NEMIHEMERA love the sarcasm.
There's no sarcasm on my comment.
Not only is this show funny and important, it doesn't hurt that the *aestethics* and *soundtrack* are completely out of this world. Each episode is total slap in the eyes and ears honestly. Most of the soundtrack is now on my Spotify and I regularly go back 10 to 30 seconds in an episode just to see the same scene twice because the colors, angle of filming... is so good.
Love it. Love the series, love this analysis. 💞
Great video, got me to finally watch the show! Thank you.
This was a brilliant film analysis. Subscribed!
The visuals in the series is really interesting. Love u reggie!
you guys know that the title is supposed to be controversial, right? dont bitch about something if you know nothing more about it than the title
lukas decker now imagine if someone tried to make a show called Dear Black People.
you cant just generalize this. a show called dear black people would obviously have a completely different story
lukas decker and if it can't happen then it's a racist double standard.
Brian Aguilar go cry somewhere else. If this is something that you have to whine about then you obviously never had any real problems
lukas decker bet you think I'm a white person right?
awesome review as always
Brilliant analysis this show is amazing thank you for the insight
This is the best video you guys have ever done, makes me wanna rewatch the season! Keep up the great work!
This is one of your best videos. I just finished Dear White People season 2 and with each episode so impressed at its many layers that hold powerfully, hilariously, and beautifully on its own. It is honestly one of my favorite shows I've ever seen in my life and I don't make statements like that often. For me it's literally a perfect show and I'm thrilled that Netflix was confident enough to go forward with it despite how many White people are so fragile they can barely even contemplate there's more to it than its name suggests. Great job Screenprism!
You keep outdoing yourself, ScreenPrism. Another fantastic analysis!
Right off the bat, I enjoy the series WAY more than the movie. In the movie, it was hard for me to empathize with most of the characters, even though I understood what they were going through. The series gives us much greater insight into their minds & personalities.
What a thoughtful review of this show, especially when most people who hate it never got past the title. Love that you focused in on the multi POV style to show that no characters are supposed to be completely right or wrong
Perfect - I don’t know how but you guys really get it
Thank you!
I have only seen the movie… And it was phenomenal… Looking forward to watching the show
*I LOVE this show sooooooooo much!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ....it is so much better than the movie! Xxxxx*
LOL. Everything with "Dear White People" in it immediately gets dislikes.
Hehe. This is true, it sure seems.
I think controversial topics like this always do. I do consider this show to be racist mainly from its title, as I judge it on basis of if you changed that to "Dear Black people" it would be considered a racist show. I do not subscribe to the concept that one rule for one group and another for the other. I subscribe to everyone being treated equally and not talked down to or forcing others to accept blame for something they have not personally done. Classing white people as a group, as this show does feel ignorant and doing the exact same thing to white people as black people are asking not to be done to them, judging them by their skin colour.
somebody didn't watch the show.
No, I have not interested in it, Why should I watch something that is based on racist principal? I do however like ScreenPrism take on it, and that is enough for me, but the fact it is based on a racist concept in first place.
kitten is a Kitten Talking about race isn’t racist.
At 9:22 anyone else notice how stoic the other characters are whereas Silvio almost has a little smile
Beautiful.
Lmao some of you ppl are so sad imagine reading this title and disliking w/out even knowing what it's about just b/c you think u are being attacked😂
People dont feel attackedthey are just tired of the whole black thing and who can blame them.
The whole black thing is something black people have to live with but for them it's just an annoying message they find everywhere. Their irritation isn't a point of sympathy, it's a sign of their lack of compassion.
Let's get a season 2 video!
WOW! Thank God I found your fantastic channel. Keep up the awesome work.
also notable, the choice of almost exclusively use classical music in the soundtrack. examples include "The Nutcracker" and "Swan Lake".
Chills.
I need to see this show. It's in my to watch list but I was watching Father Brown find out murderers.
I've been wondering, are you guys going to analyze Season 2 in any way??
The show is greatttt
Coco is my favorite from both film and tv
Hated the movie, very much appreciated the series. A great improvement
Thanks ScreenPrism for this breakdown. I love your commentaries on GOT, and appreciate you developing content to explore other shows like "Dear White People". Please ignore the less positive comments (can't please everybody) and continue to be a fair, objective, and informative source! Many are angry and using every outlet to express their frustration (which is commonly the result of feeling unheard). All points of view are valid (even the angry ones), but I hope it won't discourage your staff from being open and objective when developing videos to share with us.
Rayshon Harris great advice
It's 50/50.
50% minorities complaining about things that get printed on a daily basis and don't actually exist when you research the nonsense SJW story the media reported on 99% of the time.
And
50% White people like me "feeling unheard" as we're the ones being discriminated against on film, along with Black people, while Asians are massively overrepresented by 2.6%
Along with White people like me "feeling unheard" as we're the ones who apply for 1000's and 1000's of jobs with no reply, yet Black and Asian people seem to get and switch jobs for fun with no problems.
Where's this White privilege people keep talking about?
Why do we get accused of being racist/sexist/homophobic if we don't like someone who is Black/female/gay for a reason that has nothing to do with race/gender/orientation?
Why are the poorest people in my city all White?
Why do Black people think that only White people can be racist? etc etc
I'm sorry to hear about your personal experience Daniel. I'm sure it's tough and I can appreciate your perspective. Thank you for sharing!
I would never invalidate another's story simply because I'm not in their shoes to fully understand their plight. To say something doesn't exist for a people is unfair as one that is not of that race, or gender--which is part of the problem, invalidation of another's experience just because I haven't personally seen it, been a part of it, or experienced it. What you say must be real for you and I would be wrong to dismiss your story as something isolated to only you as your individual problem. We're all in this together, but only those who truly want change and equality are open to SEEING and accepting that we are ALL in the same boat, we just got here different ways. :) They (the powers that be) want us to fight among one another over 'race' that way we are distracted by the real problem--class! If they can keep us stupid and fighting each other, we will never rise up against them! Try to see that! That's what is meant by 'staying woke' or 'waking up'. It's not only a phrase meant to be understood by minorities, but all those who are willing to shed their anger long enough to see where it needs to be focused. :)
My initial message was not about race, it was about those who feel unheard--the poor, the disenfranchised, and the dis-empowered. But since you addressed race, allow me to do the same. Again I say, you are not alone. I have many minority friends who are experienced, educated, and who are currently having trouble finding employment (some for over a year.) All stories are valid and should be heard equally and without judgement. Try to keep your head up and be positive for only positivity will attract that of it's kind. Your situation will/can change but it depends on you and how YOU look at your circumstances and what you do when opportunity comes your way. A smart person realizes that bitterness and anger never allow one to see the path towards success clearly. Your next gig may not be where you are currently looking. But if you keep paying attention to the noise or what's going on beside you, you can't see what's right in front of you.
Great fucking video + analysis.
Thanks Marcus!
Wonderful! Well done!
I didnt watch the series because I already watched the movie (and, y'know…) but I'll definitely give it a go.
highly recommend the series, I've heard people say that it's better than the movie.
this video is great! Dear White People wasn't what I expected. Great movie and series, I can't wait for season 2
Great analysis!!!
Racism, colourism and prejudice are not just black and white issues. They negatively affect every ethnicity and race.
I watched the first episode but never kept up with it, thanks for reminding me how great of a show it is/was. I will continue watching it.
triggered people in 3 ...2....
Special Agent of the Patriarchy yeah Morgan Freeman said something like that
Special Agent of the Patriarchy dude that's like saying the best way to deal with a broken arm is to ignore it and hope it goes away instead of doing anything about it
+Dean Estimable you need to wake up and look at the world of the 21st century. Race relations aren't as broken as they used to be. Most race relations problems are started by constantly bringing it up. This stuff doesn't happen unprovoked like it used to and people need to have enough common sense to realize that.
I'm sorry. I'm not a POC but I know people who are. Do you really think it is their fault when people talk about them literally, have asked questions like are you really black? Can I call you N*****? Are you good at basketball and running? No, they don't go around shouting "I'm black please be an asshole to me."
Wake up dude, and stop sleeping on prejudice. It doesn't go away just because it doesn't happen to you.
+Ti My (InTD93) You don’t see it because it’s not your every day life. This is like a cat saying dogs don’t pant because they’ve never seen it. And when it’s shown to you instead of considering that the world is bigger than just you, you’d prefer to call it fake news or theatrics. No wonder racism is higher in poorly educated areas, you have to be a special kind of stupid to deliberately remain ignorant.
Good ending.
Solid Show.
noice breakdown O:
Surprised y'all haven't covered the handmaid's tale yet
Can you guys please do 13 Reasons Why???
wow a review on this show that doesn't bash it right away
Season 2 analysis?
ngl most of this show went over my head
You're an honest person.
This is one of those RUclips videos you should read the comments for before watching. Cheers, comment section.
Season 3?
I forgot this had come out. I thought it looked pretty funny.
It's really, really good you should check it out!
Funny how?
Now I want to see Dear Black People LOL.
I am definitely gonna make that when i grow old!!
Sydney Carlton is the love of my life 😍
💖💖💖
This movie is a really good one and I got a bigger perspective on Racism and the different effects it has on everyone but I can't ignore how badly depicted Rashid is. He is a Kenyan whose accent isn't anything close to a Kenyan accent. He walks about close to clueless about racism and seems not to exactly understand the aspect of racism. They depicted Africans as people who still don't know much about racism which is not true. There is so much that could have been told about the African perspective of Racism other than what they did. I just think it's sad that Africa is always trying to get its true story heard by the western world and not even the people that sometimes claim to have origins from Africa can try to tell it correctly or at least get the freaking accent right.
I couldn't get invested in the story because the characters had only one chapter each devoted to their POVs. It should have jumped back and forth between only three or four characters.
It's a good show that shows different perspectives BUT it also acts like you can't have a difficult life if you're white, that you have never felt bad, and that really just covers the whole purpose
@@afokeoyibocha112 you're a pathetic racist. Iv never seen a show solely about white people, grow up only people trying to make a show solely about a race is dipshit progressives like you. You people have no originality you only make garbage knock offs or crap like this were it's just whiney perceived injustice bull. Saying it's giving a pov of those pathetic perceived injustices god you people are the biggest racist, narcissistic, entitled children the world will ever have the misfortune of dealing with.
@@gunarchy taking things out of context, yep, to stupid to understand the conversation, yep, typical lefty nut job. "You people" as I was clearly talking about progressives, but nice try, maybe learn something other than "yOur'rE rAciSt".
Btw, to anyone thinking this series is "offensive" or whatever, 4 of my 5 siblings are white; I would easily tell them to watch the show & talk with me about what they think & feel.
Show this video to people like hunter avallone, no bullshit, and Phillip Defranco and the people who support them.
I refuse to accept that Gabe was in any way to blame for that cop pulling a gun on Reggie. When someone called the cops to break up the blackface party at the beginning of the series, nothing even remotely like that happened. The idea that anyone shouldn't trust the police is toxic. If the police aren't doing their job then they should be held accountable. Gabe did the right thing and so did everyone, after the event, who protested to get repercussions for the cop.
This is the on instance the show is better than the movie. I saw the movie and was left very confused, like it had a lot to say but rushed it or didn't complete. I feel the nature of the content should have been a show format.
Open dialogue my ass
It actually makes fun of how ignorant the black students are, that they are their own worst enemy, how the different point of views in the black community can't coincide and create conflict with one another. Dear White People happens to be the name of her radio show, and the main character is made clear to the viewers that she is the prejudice racist. Don't judge a book by it's cover or I guess a TV show after the title.
Rotund Pug if you think that you can speak to for about someone based on the color of their skin, you are racist. It is a racist show and the actors are racist scumbags.
Andres64B You watched it? Because I can't see anyone who paid attention and watched the full show seeing that. I'm not racist but you believe what you want.
Rotund Pug if you think that you can speak to or about someone based on the color of their skin, you are a racist scumbag.
Andres64B I didn't say anything to imply that. I don't know where you're getting the stuff I said at.
sam isn't racist did u even watch the show?
~1:18 „Each perspective is valid“
Calling secutity because you want to help your Black friends but being ignorant / completely unaware about racist police brutality so that this leads to your friend being traumatized?
It‘s dangerously limited to say the least. I didn‘t think it should be seen as valid. As a start to improve, sure, but not exactly „valid“. (How come he dated a Black antiracist activist for so long and didn‘t catch on that fact that police-like forces aren‘t someone you can call for help...)
Was wondering how long it would take for white privilege would be said.
you weren't actually watching the video were you?
it never said "white privilege", not once. Look again.
The series at first got me with criticizing both sides, like the protagonist "sleeping with her master" but then it just turned in some soap opera kind of shit and they still hate the white guy for being white.
I came from someone else review about the show and the reviewsaid Coco is trying to assimilate into white culture which I disagreed with you see when you judge Coco as acting white you perpetuate this idea that there is a way to act black and anything apart from that then you are not black.
You do know that most of this series is satire. With the exception having a gun pulled on you.
University political dramas=When projects are more interested in style, cardboard cutout characters, and tugging at heart strings than realism.
FLASHBLAK You don't know many university graduates do you?
Anybody else feel like Gabe was cringe?
Why can't we just embrace one culture without bringing down the other cant we just say dear people
Micro aggression the bane of the weak and easily triggered, which institution is holding back blank people
not an argument and your question is missing a question mark.
he's also talking about *blank* people. You know, the ones that live in the hollow at the center of the earth ;D.
This series sounds/looks like a museum of cliches, and while trying to play on the "oh these characters are deeper than they look" schtick, they actually fall to the same old expectable outcomes and cliches. Oh the dork guy actually turns out to be a hero? What an original narrative!
Also from the clips I've seen some of the acting is downright embarrassing.
Every story that can possibly be imagined by the human brain has been TOLD at some point. Do you really think "original ideas" still EXIST at this point? The human brain has limits, and we've existed for thousands of years. There's no such thing as an original idea.
LordofFullmetal well, though I do agree with you, let me just point out that there ARE original ideas. Just not that many people who actually have them.
"Dork guy actually turns out to be a hero" is such a ridiculously oversimplified reduction of Lionel's characterization and arc its clear you haven't even watched a few clips of it.
So you haven't watched it but assume you know all about it. You know what happens when you assume.
You didn't watch the series did you? You couldn't even name the character. Shame on you.
The problem with the show (yes, I'm black, so don't freak out) is that the people behind it, the director, writers and main actress, are fundamentally racist towards white people and refuse to accept that fact. Here's one example (based on an interview the creators and actors themselves made).
They claim that a 'minority' (Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc) cannot be racist to a 'majority' (White), since the minority can never have the same amount of 'privilege' in a social system as the majority since the system is built by this majority. This is a blatantly immoral excuse to paint whatever hate a minority person may have toward another race (always white in this example) as something that isn't that bad. How so? Someone who is labelled 'racist' is viewed as unredeemable, but not so with someone who is prejudice. The writers and directors of Dear White People don't want to be viewed that way.
The bottom line is that hate is hate, and hate is inexcusable. If you are a 'minority' and endlessly put down people of another race, majority or not, I don't want to hear anything of what you have to say.
I saw that interview (mixed race kid here) and while that may just be my personal interpretation, I think that this statement was not meant for the individual, but for the group. The Hispanic minority cannot be racist towards the white majority, because everywhere they go, they whites have the privilege. That does not mean that a single Hispanic person is incapable of being racist. A Hispanic who says all black are thugs and all white people are assholes is as racist as a white guy saying that all Hispanics are drug dealers. But in the society we live in, the most racist, asshole-ish white guy has more chances at pretty much everything than the nicest, gentlest, most hardworking Hispanic. These things make it impossible for the minority group to be racist towards the majority group, because the majority group is always the one favored in every aspect of life.
Again, that was my interpretation of that part of the interview. I might be wrong about what they meant to say, but if I'm not then what they were saying is pretty much true :/
sheelaflower
Sorry to tell you but your interpretation is wrong. Racism is racism. It doesn’t matter who’s what color.
The Crimson fucker racism is based in the idea of racial superiority, a minority being prejudiced against whites will have no structural or lasting impact on whites. Hurt feelings don't count and are not the result of hatred.
Angela Tannor racism- “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that ones own race is superior”. This is the real definition of racism, and according to it your wrong, so yea, honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if your racist yourself since u can’t even seem to comprehend the meaning of the word
Sameer Shafaat dude do you even comprehend what you read?
Sigh
"microagressions" ok, i'm out.
vruno88 k byyyeeeeeeee
bye
oh no, microagressions :( :( :(
👋
Ahh man. You should probably look into that whole thing. The word has a negative connotation because people who try belittle social activists have planted it in the public consciousness. But the concept is a real one, and very important. I just wish people could be more empathetic...
I heard this show does show all sides, but I just couldn't get past the first episode, Sam was just unbearable. She had no personality except for her 1 sided views on race, they could have at least made her likable before portrating her as a pretentious spoiled college kid who has no actual real world experience. She was so offputting. The whole show seems like a racial issues circle jerk from one perspective. I don't know, I couldn't get passed the first episode, that's a writing issue, don't start the show with a character who is meant to be antagonistic, you ease the viewer into it and when they're invested lay the guilt on them
Well you should watch past the first episode. The first episode is about Sam and yea she isn't suppose to be likable in my opinon. None of the characters are except maybe Lionel. The rest of the episodes are about various characters who don't feel the same way Sam does. Also I think people are taking the show way too seriously, it's satire, which i know is hard for some people to get which I think is the problem. But I think people not getting what is or is not satire within the series shows that the writing needs work and it says alot about the people watching.
You expect character growth in less than an episode? How can you see all sides of you can't make it past the first episode. The show does show all sides whether they are likeable or not. That's the point. Just like in real life where you can't swallow every person's values or personalities, the show is full of multifaceted people whom you probably won't agree with but should see because their perspective is just as valid.
Crazelord91 I think that’s what the show WANTS you to feel. It wants you to feel like Sam (even though some points she make are right) is too much of a rebel, too stubborn, and too eager to argue, and the other character address this throughout the series. Even she herself admits it at one point. It wants to show that at time, Sam can be her own worst enemy.
Crazelord91 Have ever heard of a character arc? People do bad things for good reasons and you didn't stop around long enough to find out why. Yet you grace us with your opinion.
This is just saying and interpreting in a very obvious way the things we see in the show and it doesn't add anything new. Why would I hear something that I can just... go and watch? Not to throw shit, just my thoughts on the video
I thought it was mediocre. I know some of y’all gonna try to murder me in the comments but it just didn’t strike me as much as it struck everyone else. I get it, I’m supposed to love this show, but I just didn’t, I’m sorry.
i feel like this movie sucked. like does it really need an analysis, political opinions aside. do people have to pretend it's actually good because it's about racism?
StellarNovah this is about the Netflix series not the movie
either way, both were award winning
And it’s not good because it’s about racism. It’s good because it’s a greatly filmed, beautifully acted and well written show.
StellarNovah I highly sugg3st season 2 of the series. It gets very trippy. Like surreal, on some David lynch shit. It's so different from. Season 1.
