The “Dear White People” Trailer has Some People in Their Feelings (Video)

by | Feb 10, 2017 | News | 0 comments

As you can probably imagine, the alt-right B.K.A. white supremacists are all in their feelings about the new Netflix series Dear White People which basically calls white people out on their bullsh*t. We live in a time where being racist and culturally insensitive is trendy. Things like making black jokes, dressing in black face for Halloween, and cultural appropriation, we really can do without.

Although the insensitivity is a problem for us, Dear White People, which is based off of the 2014 movie, does a great job of humorously yet seriously addressing the topic. Now the alt-right, white supremacists are crying and boycotting Netflix.

A popular Trump supporter and white supremacists, whose name is not worth mentioning, Tweeted a picture of his cancelled Netflix subscription. And other low life white supremacists began to follow suit, with the hashtag #NoNetflix.

Although we are sure they think they’re little temper tantrum is hurting Netflix, on Twitter @buncahn shared a graph showing the company’s stock continually increasing.

Justin Siemien, the creator of Dear White People, posted on Facebook about the pushback. He writes, “To see the sheer threat that people feel over a date announcement video featuring a woman of color (politely) asking not to be mocked makes it so clear why I made this show.” Absolutely because a black woman asking to be respected is definitely a threat to white existence.
