Racism is alive and well in America & Dear White People gives us all the examples. Not just the obvious tension from black people tired of whites exploiting their culture & whites tired if blacks giving them a hard time about it, but racism within the shades of black and homophobia in the black community.
An update on Spike Lee's School Daze, the movie follows four black college students: A minority within the minority trying to fit in anywhere. A media studies student using the radio to voice her opinions. A son being put under too much pressure by his father to be the best of the best. And a little black girl trying to escape the label of little black girl.
Being sold as a look at Obama era racism, I realize that this is a note on how nothing has really change even with Obama in office. The movie brings humor to an uneasy category which is good because the issues in the movie should freely be address if change is ever going to happen.
Justin Siemen gives us a great story, jumping in on the personal agendas each character is going through. As strange at it may sound the movie made me angry in a good way.
Highly recommended.
