A social satire that follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where controversy breaks out over a popular but offensive black-face party thrown by white students.

Dear black people, Please stop behaving like entitled brats who believe the world owes you something. Please stop blaming others for your poor life choices. Please stop trying to justify your hateful racism. And please stop commiting crime in record numbers. Sincerely, Your potential future - @Tuesday, December 18, 2018 5:06 PM

I remember a few months ago when I was visiting a country in Europe and a European approached me and noticed that I was American and told me that they visited the U.S. last year and found a lot of racism...I quickly apologized and I continued by saying that I know that sometimes white people in America can be racist... the European quickly interrupted me and said "no, I found the black Americans to be very racist, not the white American... I thought about it for months and he was right... black Americans are one of the most racist groups in America, they have a lot of hatred towards white people and other races. - @Monday, September 3, 2018 10:23 AM

I’m like so confused, is it a show or a movie , bc Netflix has a show called dear white ppl with the same actors but a different actor for Sam and Lionel - @Wednesday, August 8, 2018 1:37 AM

The fact that people have to justify what this movie really is about in the comment section is the ultimate testament to its core message. Dear fellow white people, why must a statement about someone else's struggle must always appease us first? - @Tuesday, July 31, 2018 6:26 PM

To all of the white people who don't understand this or find it racist to them, it isn't, it is showing what white people do to black people that they don't think is racist. It is not bringing back the past, it brings awareness racism still fucking happens, it continued it's not the past. Most of you are writing hateful speeches not knowing that in the movie it explains the exact person your being in these comments. Stfu, watch the movie, and you'll understand. Pfff possibly not, you'll probably not even understand most of it. - @Monday, March 12, 2018 9:51 AM

Being white shouldn’t be a privilege but a disadvantage in modern society. Reparations for what they have done! Because yes you are a racist for being white (it’s the very definition) we take tax for land and healthcare to benefit others but white people don’t have to do a damn thing to pay back the people they enslaved. White people should have higher taxes. - @Monday, March 12, 2018 5:43 AM

What the fuck is this racist uncreative drivel. At first I thought this was some sort of fucking joke because it's a fucking comedy but faaaaar from it. It's more along the lines of a series aiming to rip in to white people by generalising them all as being racist (which in itself is fucking racist) oh no wait sorry black people cant be racist. It's dipshit scum of the earth cretinous dickheads like this who make the society we live in even more divided. All this series is gonna do is make white people realise that there is still racism, but it ain't from white people to black people. And if you're black and still think we're racist - stop living in the fucking past you uneducated dickhead just looking for something to whine about. I actually can't believe how ridiculous this is, who the fuck dresses up as black people for Halloween nobody fucking does that they make white people out to be typical posh nobheads yeah we're all totally like that. Fuck off. - @Saturday, September 9, 2017 10:35 AM

You know the movie and the show pick on how others say black people are "always angry about something." It's actually pretty eye opening for people of all races. Now I admit seeing something called "Dear Black People" would make me a little apprehensive but once you watch it and see the truth, humility and comedy. Honestly you'll laugh at yourself and be educated all at the same time. - @Sunday, May 28, 2017 10:48 PM

For anyone reading the comments, they pretty much all look the same(thank me later): 1. Black/White person comment their opinion about the movie 2. A person from the other race gets triggerd 3. The person who commented first gets triggered now as well. - @Thursday, May 18, 2017 2:11 PM

Can we go back to the 70s to early 2000s now? Learn from the past and get the fuck over this racial bs? The 60s called and wants your hatred back! Let's move forward not back? Hollywood and liberals want segregation and racial tensions back! Don't let them have it! We as a people are better than this. Stop this identity shit and be united again! - @Wednesday, May 17, 2017 12:59 AM

In fairness here, how often are black people asked if others can touch their hair. This is the same kind of thing as when breastfeeding mothers tell other non breast feeding men or women that other people take issue with openly doing it in public. Again, how many people have actually seen this? Not many. Ask your self how many times you have actually seen either of these instances. - @Wednesday, May 10, 2017 10:57 AM

Being a victim of black racism I am tired of this topic. I have heard more racism from black people who think it's ok to spout this kind of rhetoric in one week than I have ever heard from white people in my entire lifetime... it is so outplayed it is referred to pulling the black card and these tv show just propagates more of the same fucking bullshit.... thank you netflix for that deep reminder when I was 1 of 2 white kids growing up in a black neighborhood being consistently attack by racist black people - @Monday, May 1, 2017 7:30 AM
