You're really making this too easy. |

Tristan et al.'s argument is "the title isn't representative of what the show is about". That's all I'm responding to here. If you think I'm expressing any stance on the underlying racial issue, then you're mistaken. The title gave me the impression that the show would be about "this is why it's ok for black people to do x but not ok for white people to do x" and that's exactly what the first episode showed. The blackface party is just the "when white people do x" part of the "it's ok for black people to do x but not ok for white people to do x" viewpoint "People just don't get how you can have a show called Dear White People and then complain about a party called Dear Black People" "Here's the difference: my jokes don't incarcerate your youth at alarming rates, or make it unsafe for you to walk around your own neighborhood. But yours do" Those are word for word quotes from the scene I'm referring to. Now, if you were to pose the argument "the first episode isn't representative of the rest of the show" then that would be fair... Maybe it is representative, maybe it isn't, the first episode didn't really interest me enough to find out. But either way, that's not the point I'm responding to here. --- Quote from: Alternat¡ve on May 09, 2017, 09:54:02 AM ---your comprehension skills are just poor You're really making this too easy. --- End quote --- Wtf is this supposed to mean I'm asking if I'm missing anything, why are you being so snarky |
