The fact that Dear White People has such a low rating proves the point of the whole show

Timeless

I really wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to this show. The title is telling you that this show is going to be about the wall in the society that is race. I guess it was my fault expecting something more than that. After having to sit through 30 minutes of a badly written, directed and acted episode, I realized that the creator of this show only wants to fuel the hatred in the black society. The show tries to do this by diminishing the white race. (You'#39;re in an Ivy League college, who fucking asks '#34;What are you?'#34; to a black person?) But I'#39;m sure the limited target audience of this show will love it.

Although (I am sure) lots of things slipped my understanding firstly because I am white and secondly because I am European, I believe that shows like this one are extremely necessary for understanding others, changing ourselves and making society a better place.

The political brouhaha over this show really stops us from talking about it as what it is: a TV show, and TV shows are supposed to entertain, which Dear White People clearly forgot to do. The message of the show is on point, but the whole thing acting-wise, writing-wise, directing-wise was clearly lacking, you can barely call it entertainment. It wasn'#39;t funny enough to be called a comedy, nor serious enough to be taken seriously as a drama, and if you peel all that sociopolitial layer off it you'#39;ll be watching a very typical teen drama, completely with love triangles and sexually confused characters. It is not inventive nor interesting, you have most likely seen or heard this shit a thousand times before in litterally any show that happens to take place in a high school or a university. I don'#39;t watch TV to get woke, that'#39;s what the news is for. I want to be entertained.

Wish there were a way to validate someone has watched a show before rating it. It was quite good, better than I expected. Lionel is the hero we deserve, though all the main characters demonstrated worthy development arcs. Made me a little wistful for college even.

This show has its flaws, but I still love it. There'#39;s nothing else like it on TV right now. It'#39;s such a complex exploration of racial tensions, systemic racism, and the way society affects the formation of a multitude of black identities. It'#39;s hilarious at times and heart breaking at others. The writing isn'#39;t always the greatest and the acting can be a little all over the place sometimes, but I love it. I'#39;m a little worried for season three because I don'#39;t know how I feel about the [spoiler] secret society [/spoiler] plot but honestly it'#39;s so random that I'#39;m also hyped to see where they go with it.

It has been a consistent good show but the last couple episodes from the second season are amazing.

I absolutely loved the first season and would highly recommend it for both entertainment and education. The second season is okay. I didn't even bother to finish the third season, though. They introduced a mystery to solve and it really changed the show. I will definitely rewatch the first season but leave the rest in the future.

Niggerism keeps blacks from advancing and wanting free stuff and blaming whites for their problems. And also making fantasy TV series to make their unjust hatred validated. This series is similar to 70s movies that vilified blacks and people cheered for it. Pointless propaganda tool to divide people more, and the uneducated portion of the blacks and white college girls swallow all of it without questioning anything. Americans sure are smooth brained.

First season should put: '#34;And you are right'#34; under its poster, since it was all about how black people perceive misstreatment from white people and think they need to start a '#34;revolution'#34;. Guess what, if you have a show, '#34;showing'#34; how some people are misstreated by other people, it is always about both the some and the others...

this would be the best show of all time if not for the third season :( how did this happen

Definitely a good concept and I did enjoy it for the most part. However it got a '#34;fair'#34; rating from me because it was neither mind blowing or moving to me. As a minority myself it'#39;s nice to see a show where the stereotypes aren'#39;t the common jokes on us but it didn'#39;t do what I was hoping it would for my viewing pleasure.
