Dear White People, This Video Might Piss You Off — But It Shouldn't

It's probably not news to you that racism in America goes pretty deep. There's loads of it going on every day that a lot of people don't think twice about, and it's encouraged by the mainstream media's stereotyping, silencing, or complete erasure of people of color. This concept trailer for an upcoming satire called "Dear White People" looks to change that.

I'll freely admit that at first I was a tad uncomfortable watching this clip. But by the end, I was totally thrilled, because nothing's more awesome than people pushing back against oppressive forces, especially through satire.

ORIGINAL: By Dear White People, a satire about being a black face in a white place. The Indiegogo campaign to fund the making of this film was a rousing success, I might add.
