           This blog is intended to be a review of the movie “Dear White People” for my English 202 class.  The movie Dear White People is the story of four black college students that attend the Ivy League school Winchester University.  Winchester was always a predominantly white school and now with the addition of black students some staff and students find it very difficult to deal with the change.  One of the main characters Sam White is a bi racial student that is having a hard time trying to decide where she fits in and what rights she wants to fight for.  She was the sole speaker for the only talk radio on campus called dear white people where she would inform white people about the rules of living with and around the small black community on campus.  When Sam was elected to be head of the Armstrong/Parker house on campus, the all black house on campus, she proceeded to try and block out all non-black folks and those who opposed the black race. At the end of the movie there was a black face party thrown by one of the other houses that was eventually crashed by all the other colored groups on campus.  It wasn’t until this party that a lot of the confusion was sorted out among the students and everyone’s true colors were shown.

          My person opinion of this movie is hard for me to explain.  I had a very hard time following the story line of this movie.  It was confusing and hard to follow along and keep up with all the characters at the same time.  I love the general concept of the movie but it really needed to be given in a different way for me.  I could maybe give this movie like 4 stars out of 10.  I was never once able to fully see the drama and the comedy that this movie was supposed to produce
