Netflix is following in the footsteps of Twitter, the NFL and the Democrat party with a brilliant strategy of insulting more than half the country in one fell swoop. Will they be as shocked as their left-wing compatriots when they experience a harsh blowback to injecting identity politics into well… everything?
I’m referring of course to the announcement this week of a new original show, Dear White People, an adaptation of a 2014 movie by the same name. Basically it’s an opportunity for spoilt brats of color to lecture ordinary Americans on how unconsciously racist they still are — you know, just the sort of social-justice finger-wagging that lost Hillary the election and makes decent people everywhere gag and heave and run for the hills.
I believe I’ve pinpointed exactly why this show exists, and it isn’t globalist liberals striking out in anger at Daddy’s America. Instead there is a simpler answer to why such an astoundingly bad concept would be green-lit: Netflix is desperately seeking a followup science fiction hit to Stranger Things, and an alternate timeline story of Hillary Clinton’s presidency, one in which every conceivable identity group is in open warfare with each other, is a natural candidate.
That must be it, otherwise we must confront some depressing alternatives. Can it possibly be that a pitch meeting for a Netflix series can sound like this: “We’re going to take the worst idea MTV ever had, add in a healthy amount of Buzzfeed and spice up the blend with the same disdain for regular Americans that drove the white working class away from the Democrat party and which makes even people on our own side of the political divide absolutely hate us! Yeah!”

This is the kind of corporate stupidity that makes you seriously consider shorting Netflix. Just who are they trying to attract with this blatant race baiting?
All the above. That's why I dumped them.
Netflix has lost my sub but if they lay off the race hating I’ll consider going back.
Maybe they’re just running this all for free publicity. If so, I think it’s gonna backfire.
THe have another series (show) starting in April featuring Bill Nye called Save the World. he will be taking on climate change deniers and attacking religion (he is an atheist)
I got rid of NETFLIX on Wednesday and Thursday there was a story about it and the CEO basically told the boycotters to stuff it. I guess I will be stuffing my 10 bucks back into the wallet every month. I am sick of these liberal bigots.
Same here.
I cancelled yesterday due to Bill Nye’s propaganda show. I don’t know anything about Dear White People, but now I am doubly glad I cancelled. I couldn’t find an email address to tell them my reason, so I wrote a snail mail letter.
These lefties think they affect things by their pitiful threats of boycotts. We, real Americans, need to exercise our superior economic consumer financial strength. In the past, politicians and the elites have picked the winners and losers based on misplaced political power. Now we can pick the winners and losers by deciding who we support and who we will oppose by our choice of the goods and services we will purchase. In making such decisions, we must also let our intended losers know of our decisions and the reasons for those decisions. We must also tell them the names of their competitors which we will be supporting. We must then tell those competitors that we are now economically supporting them and why in order for them to have incentive to encourage our values, or at least keep their mouths shut. Most of the protesters out there have no money, other than the pittance that Soros pays them and they spend that money on drugs. Most live in their mommies and daddies’ basements and steal food out of the refrigerator upstairs. WE MUST USE OUR ECONOMIC MIGHT TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN!!!
