'Dear White People' Creator Speaks To 'Odd Feeling' Of Show's Resurgence | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Dear America,
We can do this if we all stick together! And then maybe, just maybe, something good can actually come out of the deaths of Mr Floyd, Mr Brooks, Ms. Taylor, Mr Arbery, and all of the others lost.
Fight on!
@Trevell Napper Whites were the first slaves. If reparations are to be given out were first in line.
@Trevell Napper
Only reparations I will give will be one way boat tickets back to the dark continent
@My name Jeff 85% of America believe system changes need to happen. Not sure who this “far left” is you’re talking about.
Stand together AMERICA stay STRONG ! Enough of the RACIST INJUSTICE !!
THE MOST HIGH IS WITH YOU !!
@Trevell Napper whites need a one way ticket back to Europe ! Blacks were already here in AMERICA before whites NOAH webster DICTIONARY 1828
Look up the DEFINITION of a AMERICAN DO YOUR RESEARCH !
HOW ARE WE TO GO BACK HOME WHEN WE’RE ALREADY HOME ?

Divide and Conquer is alive and well in the U.S.
great show actually – glad more people are discovering it, however late
Duh…
Imagine a virus – so intelligent that it disappears for riots and looting and cop murders, but magically reappears on Florida beaches with nobody there…

I still have hope for “The Great American Melting Pot” and from the comments to this story I see that a lot of people still find such a prospect terrifying. There is no hope for America on the world stage if we don’t learn to do this. In fact, we would do well for ourselves by prioritizing teaching intercultural awareness and Applied Psychology to everybody at an early age, because the rest of the world needs these skills too and America is an ideal place to perfect this paradigm.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the comments section. There are a lot of bad actors (including foreign) trying to cause problems. The crap they are writing is not representative of most Americans.
The big difference with the 60’s protests is that half the people marching now are white.There’s a growing conscience among white people that the system as we know it needs to change.
Duh…

Sounds like you have a fancy term for re education camp .
Melting pot is only good if people melt . Today nobody is . It’s hard enough for people in the same culture to get along adding more cultures just creates more complicated problems.
What could possibly go wrong by mixing Muslims with gays with jews with Caribbean’s with cast system Hindus and black Americans ?
@N. deG wrong!! There’s always been white anarchists, communist, radical leftists whites, where you been? Their a small minority of whites
I’ve been thru countless microaggressions throughout my life.
Im middle aged, white and male. SO HAVE I. Get over it.
Me too especially being white
@Dan Ference Im down with the general idea of racism, and that the police are abusive. Ive been abused by the police on many occasions. but unfortunately now EVERY perceived slight is translated as “white privilege” or a “micro-aggression” which means it was racist.
stop with the racial division.
He can’t help being brainwashed
What do you mean by that ? Stop pointing it out ?
Fun fact – Black awareness show started trending dramatically even in Denmark even before the Corona pandemic. This time it seems Pandora’s box is wide open!
We need to Remember and Still focus on Ahmad Aubrey’ s killing. George Floyd was not the one to kick off this situation.
I feel the same way because I was already in the midst of angst over his death and the drama with his killers.
I love his Lumpy Space Princess watercolor!
Great job young man!
If we get attacked by our own army we will die from our own posinous action.
Love it
All my favorite tv shows movies since a little girl are all about
African American actors, singers, everyone.
I could list them all.
I Love it
They each brought gentle warmth, and superior acting,performing and being President. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Democrat racism on full display.
I saw the Movie years ago…never watched the series..may have to cheak it out..
I stumbled upon this show last year and was pleasantly surprised by its content. Thank you for your insight into this issue that looms over the USA.
Go look at south Africa and see the comparison of black people when they have the power.
It’s like what Beverly said,
“It wants to divide us.”
I see that no matter how hard they try to divide america, a high percentage of WE THE PEOPLE WONT LET IT HAPPEN! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Clearly Mika’s asking these questions for herself; I’m sensing she wants help
