I would rather sit through a two hour root canal than this two hour movie.

Let’s talk about college racial quotas and minority only scholarships...

Why should I care about the “plight” of black students at an Ivy League school?

[vladimir998]

Bet you it bombs.

White privilege is just another name for the economic, technical and natural institutional leadership that comes from 2-3000 years of social and cultural evolution. This is where habits, values, abilities and knowledge conducive to building a modern advanced culture are gained and pressed on succeeding generations. It takes that many years to go from aboriginal ism or post-aboriginalism to what we have today when you are on your own. Those who were brought into our society by any means were given a chance to gain the same in a much shorter time.

This white privilege crap is at best an attempt to advance people by making victims out of people, and that does not work. At worst(most likely) It is an attempt to clientize and patronize the supposedly aggrieved parties. This just empowers very upper class urban cosmopolitan libs and assorted socialists and communists.

Yes ... we have “privilege”. To quote PJ O’Rourke, “Every hippy-dippy thing that’s thought up — from heroin addiction to special vegan lunch lines in the local high school cafeteria — I get to pay for.”

Sometimes I almost feel sorry for the dopey white liberals.

Almost

[TexasFreeper2009]

There are 10 black racists for every old school white racist in this country!

[Baynative]

How about some Dear Black People ???

[kaehurowing]

>>But the most important moment in the film is when Samantha White, defines racism: “Black people can’t be racist, she says. “Prejudiced, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a systemic advantage based on race. Black people can’t be racists since we don’t stand to benefit from such a system.”<<

It is sad blacks perpetuate such racist beliefs and are never called out on them.

The author Nathalie Baptiste:

I'll take a shot and say she or her parents are illegal Haitians.

[Celtic Conservative]

Dear black people:

1. get an education.

2. get a good job.

3. have children in an intact family , and get married before you have kids.

4. stop listening to Sharpton and Jackson, aka the Cheech and Chong of race relations.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

A fictional account of racism doesn’t count as proof of racism.

[rlmorel]

It has already been done:

"We don't have to bother with these formalities, now do we, Mr. White?"

[jsanders2001]

Written 4 decades too late. Trust me, white people have been raked over the coals and forced to pay for food, housing, and healthcare or minorities since that time. We’ve also been forced to enure endless whining, affirmative action and having to give up our seats to the less qualified , and now PC where we can no longer tell the truth without ending up in court or ridiculed or terrorized online or in the streets. White privilege? Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and Eric Holder have Black Privilege which is worth significantly more these days...

[fungoking]

White privilege is so real they had to make a fictional college, characters, and storyline to prove it exist.

[driftless2]

I think the majority of white people have become indifferent to whining black people. I certainly have.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Dear White People is a cultural assessment that arrived right on time. Look at how Ferguson protesters were labeled as “rioters” and “thugs” while white students who rioted at a pumpkin festival for no apparent reason were simply “unruly” kids. That’s but one of many forms of the systemic privilege the Samantha White character is referencing.

From a CNN source comparing the two says:

[Rioter] tends to conjure memories of the Rodney King acquittal or 1967 Detroit, but those are anomalies, Wolcott said. Throughout history, white mobs have perpetrated the majority of racially motivated riots against the black community over integration in public and private life -- from the 1863 draft riots to the civil rights battles of the 1960s.

The Watts riots, the D.C. riots, the dozens of riots all across the country were whites? Golly that means that in Cincinnati where I was those whites dragged out of cars in stalled commuter traffic in a black neighborhood were beaten near to death by whites. It was all staged by white racists to make the black neighborhood look bad. Gee.

[Katya]

I’ve seen clips of this which are very funny.... it’s aimed mostly at the white liberal intelligensia who desperately try to fit in, usually in the most awkward manner
