Did he plagerise “Black Like Me”
Full Article Title:Justin Simien’s ‘Dear White People’ is influenced by, but not based on, his years at Chapman University
Other quotes:
“I encountered people who had presumptions about me, about race,” Simien said. “It made me uncomfortable.”
He doubts that some of the movie’s more overtly egregious scenes, including party attendants wearing black face, would ever happen at Chapman.
I’m sure his audience will see it that way.
“He says it’s a subject rarely depicted in films.”
Who’s he kidding. This is ALL we talk about when we talk about race in America.
This could be an interesting and informative movie. I know black people often feel out of place.
I guess I should base a book on my first “black” experience I had in 1971 when I invited a black girl I worked with to a party I was having in PA. She looked me in the eyes and told me she hated white people. She had to work with us but surely wasn’t going to socialize with us outside of work. Yep—MY first experience with racism. They HATE us(if I were to infer that all blacks hate us using that first encounter)
“the black experience when you are in a non-black world.”
Is that a vote for segregation?
“Wake Up White People”
Daniel Carver
His last name is pronounced ‘simian’? How ironic...
Sounds like a film worth watching... thanks for sharing.
I am in Warsaw Poland right now. Even all the way here I can’t escape American race baiting liberals. I was thumbing through the radio stations and BBC radio pops up and even the BBC is covering this movie. Shift another station and World NPR shows up on the other with this Simien guy being interviewed. ARGH!!! The liberals have an erection for this guy and this stupid movie. I predict the only people who will see this are self hating white bearded hipsters and school students forced to watch it.
Dear Black People; Yet there you are, at an Ivy League School.
FTA: “the black experience in the non-black world.”
That seems to carry the implication of a preference for an all black world. Perhaps we can interest him in a ticket for Liberia??? I’m sure he’d find that experience enlightening.
