I saw the preview for this crap. The amount of down votes and comments show that we're winning in more ways than before. I'm about to cancel my subscription.

Wish i could cancel my subscription, but they do a good job of providing polish subtitles and dub overs, helps cause I can actually watch stuff with my girlfriend and both of us will understand whats going on 100%. Dont suppose there is a more convenient substitute?

Surely there is some really rich dude in the Trumpian sphere of influence who would be interested in making the world a better place and making profits at the same time by providing some competition that we could patronize without supporting the left.

Ahh, damn, looks like my new month already went through the day before the trailer was released.
I'll cancel and then enjoy this following month by just requesting right-wing titles. The entire Rambo series should do it...all Arnold Schwarzenegger flicks...any other suggestions?

Its ironic I believe its more racist towards black than white.
Do blacks really think white people are:
1. Preppies
2. Ivy League
3. Constantly dress up in caricature?
4. In need of a lecture?
Its as if the director is dressing himself up in caricature of white people.
I grew up in a lower to middle class household. Growing up the "white people portrayed in the bullshit show" were the ones who picked on your clothes or got the fabulous haircuts. Preppies or jock straps. Do black people really think this is considered "white"? Who is really in the need of a lecture? Lemme take you to Eastern Kentucky and show you "white people".

The whole premise is absurd.
White college kids secretly putting on musicals in blackface anytime in history, much less the present?

I know that this a a rage out thread, but you really should not care about this Movie or series-you are not the target audience. This show is like Insecure on HBO, targeted toward the African-American demographic, skewed more for females. This is not the big deal that you think it is, Netflix is just trying to target a niche demographic. If you watch Insecure you will see many of the same themes play out. I am not going to watch it , but Netflix will be no worse for the wear after this news cycle. In 48 hours no one will give a damn about this made up controversy-this controversy will not survive Trump's next tweet.

A big reason I was happy Trump won is I thought the culture would turn around and all this BS would stop. It just looks like they are doubling down! What the fuck!

My billing period was about to start on the 12th, so I went ahead and cancelled. Like others said, it's too easy to save your money when companies get this obvious with their progressive propaganda.

I was recently thinking of ordering NetFlix. Now...f*ck that to hell and then some. If they're going to promote "divide and conquer" politics, then I'll find something else to do with my time.
I'll continue to vote with my dollars.

Buy an Amazon Fire stick. Download Kodi. Get the right mod (with Phoenix, Exodus, etc.). You'll never need Netflix or Hulu again.

They should make a Dear Black People, and the writer should say "fuck black people."
Take care of those titties for me.

Look at the outrage it's causing. having never heard of this before, it's supposed to be a sort of sjw parody. If that's true and it garnishes a large viewership due to everyone talking about it the day after release its quite the marketing strategy.
title alone causes repulsion enough for me to never watch it.
