Dear Black People...

By insinuating that black people are the only ones who are stereotyped as a race, you are stereotyping every other race there is. By saying black people are the only ones being judged, you are judging every other race there is. I can lay before you cases of people being killed for their race, and they won't even be black. Everyone is oppressed in some form or another. If you don't live a stereotype, more often than not you don't have a problem. Eradicating hate is impossible. But you can easily start with yourself. Popular culture is against racism, and pro racial diversity. Unfortunately the majority of people who cry racist can't even tell you who Mia Love is.

Because black people are the ones being systematically stereotyped, judged and even killed because they are black.

Why do you want to be opressed so badly?

Um. What are you talking about? Of course Dear Black People would be racist. Because black people are the ones being systematically stereotyped, judged and even killed because they are black. Why do you want to be opressed so badly?

Hey guess what - news flash; all different colours of people are killing, torturing and abusing each other all over the world all the time....and have been for millennia...

And white people aren't stereotyped, judged and even killed? Black on white violence in the US is rising. White on black violence de facto doesn't exist. Black on black violence is out of control.

If you're pointing at the two incidents with the police, grow up. In both cases the poor innocent black people started an altercation with the police. It's their own fault.

It's funny, really. A cop in the US shoots a black guy because the black guy assaulted him. Everybody starts screaming. But when Chicago had over 500 homicides 2 or 3 years ago, all in non-white areas, mostly gang related, which made Chicago more dangerous than Afghanistan, nobody cared.

Americans, about to become as stupid as the Germans. Bravo. Of course, with a president, who's internationally known to be only incompetent, constantly playing the race card, what else should we expect?

As a black person, I think a movie titled "Dear Black People" would not be necessarily racist, depending upon the message. I'm skeptical of white people being behind such a movie due to their history (past and present) in regard to race.

However, a movie titled "Dear Black People" with an emphasis on our own foul-ups would be appropriate if coming from a place of introspection. There is great room for improvement in the black community as well as outside of it. So much of black culture (particularly among younger black people) is self-destructive, and dangerously ignorant. Breaking that down would be a great thing in the advancement of "Dear White People."

Just using one example. Most young black people know who Nicki Minaj is, but can't tell you anything about Thurgood Marshall, Marcus Garvey, Medger Evers, W.E.B. DuBois or Jack Johnson, five black history figures from various backgrounds and achievements.

Your statement is irrelevant to mine.

Nope. Try again. Police kill more white people than black. Blacks kill more black people than whites. Whites kill more whites than blacks. Blacks commit the most crime. It's basic statistics.

I am merely pointing out that if this title was Dear Black People and starred white children and all that, it would be a big deal to the black culture and don't pretend it wouldn't. you are just as random and nonthreatening as me

There is a film like "Dear Black People" its called "Roots".

As things stand now, white people making fun of other races is like the big guy stomping on the littler ones, while black people making fun of white people is an act of defiance.

Actually Whites have been enslaved by Blacks, learn your world history.

Every race has been or has enslaved another. In fact the Irish were the first slaves in the U.S, and were treated worse than Black Slaves since they were cheaper to buy.

The first Black Slave owner in the U.S was also a Black, yes Blacks also had slaves here in the U.S, a notorious one was Anthony Johnson the first Black Slave owner in Virginia.

Think Whites went trudging through the jungles of Africa with nets capturing poor, helpless Black Africans that were prancing around collecting flowers? No. Black Africans enslaved other Black Africans and sold them to the Whites, Jews, and to the Middle East. The African King Ghezo profited greatly from capturing and selling other Black Africans.

" The slave trade is the ruling principal of my people, it is the source and glory of all their wealth. The Mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery" - African King Ghezo-

Black Africans have traveled into Europe and captured, enslaved, tortured,raped, and killed many Europeans long before the U.S Slave trade.

Lastly, the book and movie " Roots" is fictitious, it never happened. In fact, the book Roots is plagiarized from another book called " The African".

So why is it that Blacks are not lined up demanding reparations from the African Government? It contradicts the Liberal narrative that Blacks are the victims and Whites must atone for our racism, feel guilty for a non existent privilege, and have White guilt. In the last 30 or so years Whites have been brainwashed into thinking that we are the sole reason of Black Slavery, that we are evil, racist, and that only we have to amend for past injustices, and that Blacks are the poor helpless victims of an evil White race.
