Dear White People' opens dialogue through humor
Monterey Herald ^ | 01/23/2014 | JULIE WALKER

Posted on 01/23/2014 8:09:13 PM PST by artichokegrower

Dear white people: It's not OK to throw a black-themed party where white students wear racist costumes and drink from cups that look like watermelons, especially to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Justin Simien, the writer and director behind the comedy "Dear White People," doesn't have to look far to illustrate how his movie parallels real life.

Maybe and maybe not. The just of my post is everything is a 'code word' now days. Paranoia perminates sociaty to a point where I am surprise that conversations don't all go like this:

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Dear black people and all other people who get offended easily: being offended is a sign of weakness. You can stop being weak now.

And again if someone tries to enslave you to feel morally responsible for their own nonsense... well if reasoning won’t work then laugh it off. Smile, knowing you tried your best to be kind, and it’s not your fault they’re characterizing you as Beelzebub’s brother.

They have hollowed themselves out by saying no to God. You can certainly point towards heaven and say hey, there’s our strength, there is no excuse for you not making it yours too.

The not-so-clever “it’s code” tactic is meant to stifle speech, to repress criticism, to emasculate the civil White voice, etc.

Simien is a clown.

they say the movie opens a dialogue? So who hasnt been talking already?

This tendency towards PRESUMPTUOUSNESS is growing by the day.

anything uttered in the service of reframing REALITY is acceptable to this type.

open letter to these presumptuous race conscious dopes.

Amen

It’s not ok to play the polar bear game or the knock out game or to assume you can steal from me with impunity because I am white and I owe something.

Dear Black people,
Obama is not really black.
He was elected by a million racist
democrat voters who thought
he was light enough to be “clean”.

Then he was reelected because they thought
since he is “black” he needs more time because
deep down they believe “blacks “ are inferior.

People will come up with a long list of excuses but the reality is most black dysfunction is rooted in an inferiority complex and envy coupled with a rejection of “white” western civilization which is synonymous with Judeo-Christian values. Now they are regressing to tribal raids under cover of PC culture that is using them as fodder & “useful idiots” for lawlessness. This insane, immature, genocidal lunacy is a twisted psychodrama projected onto society through all Godless politically correct avenues will only end in genocide and in levels worse than evidenced in the 20th century. So sad.

People Get Ready there’s a train a’ comin.

Dear black people: stop blaming us for your problems and clean up your own damn neighborhoods!

PS...considering all the free crap you get that we pay for, a "thank you" might be nice once in a while.

Justin Simien needs to lighten up: pun intended, and be glad his peeps are either too ignorant or too polite to bring up the irony . Justins last name Simien is oh so very close to the word Simian which means MONKEY. Is this a real person? Either way its amusing. That type of person would squeal like a stuck pig if some college girl wrote Dear Black People letter.

Absolutely; at this point nobody is listening to them any more anyway. Both parties have agreed we’re better off with an imported Hispanic underclass instead of the perpetual whiners, and the transition is well underway.

I have many many comments, but choose not to. However, you are free to let your imagination run wild.

Dear black people: why are you only 12% of the population, but commit 50% of the murders?

I do not for a second disbelieve the 50% number (hell, it may be higher), but that 12% number needs to be clarified. No doubt, almost all of those doing the murdering are male, and given a roughly 50%-50% breakdown in the sexes of the race, wouldn't that statement be better presented as: "6% of the population committing 50% of the murders?"

Re your post 18, I did not see that before I posted something similar (post 38). But I see you did a better job of refining the analysis.

I don’t know that I did a particularly better job. I just added a couple of extra qualifiers to the mix.

We know that the “50% of the murders” rate is accurate from FBI crime stats. Whether they’re being committed by 3%, 4%, or 6% of the total population, that ratio is horrendous.
