The newly released Netflix series is based off the movie “Dear White People” that was released in 2014.

“Dear White People” is a show about some African-American students that started a radio show on campus which happens to be titled “Dear White People.”

In the radio show, the main character, Samantha White, talks about the things that the white people at her college do that black people don’t like. She also speaks about how the students at the Ivy League school she attends isn’t as post-racism as they think.

In the show it starts out with showing a recap of the movie, but with the new characters in the show.

The conflict between the black and white students starts when they find out that on campus every year the white students hold a party where they all dress up as black face.

Black face is when a white person takes black makeup or paint and covers their face or skin in it to appear black; it’s mainly used as a racist tactic as a way to mock the black community.

This act made the black community at this college extremely upset, all of the black organizations at the school decided to meet and come together to talk about the situation and how it affected them.

They all met to discuss how they would be handling the situation and what they were going to do to stop all the ridiculous and racist things the white students were doing on campus.

Each episode after the first one portrays different characters and their different situations. It shows how the incident has directly affected them and how they plan to solve it.

If you really watch the show and actually try and understand what is going on in it, it is actually pretty serious throughout most of it. It talks about serious situations and serious problems that are still relevant to this day. But, it of course is also funny and has a lot of satire.

If you can’t handle satire this show probably isn’t for you.

Stay woke.
