!!!!!!!! “Dear White People” is a heartless exercise in regurgitating facts from someone’s intro to African American studies notes. Not one character in this film is three dimensional, sympathetic, or even likeable. There are angry White kids picking fights with angry Black kids, and angry Black kids picking fights with angrier Black kids and no one reacts to anything like an actual human being. Being Black at a White college will infuriate you in countless ways, but it’s painful to watch Simien ignore all the good that comes with it... “Dear White People” is easily the biggest wasted opportunity of 2014, a particularly racially charged year. It’s a poorly researched visual essay that is only salvaged by its good looks and top-notch performances. I have no idea what a White audience will take away from this film, but I have a sudden urge to watch reruns of A Different World.
