Yesterday, Netflix debuted the new trailer for Dear White People, the television adaptation of the cult Justin Simien movie. The trailer itself was fairly benign — it was a trailer version of a post Brian wrote around Halloween, reminding white people what costumes are and are not allowed on Halloween. I have no idea how that supports white genocide, but white supremacists aren’t exactly the brightest bulbs, are they?
At any rate, a bunch of deplorables with Pepe the Frog icons took to Twitter to announce their cancellation intentions.
@netflix how does it feel to alienate over half of your customers? Are you going to take Dear White People off the stream. Issue an apology?

Dear White People - I was born white just as you were born black, brown. We don't choose so why do you choose to label us? https://t.co/4Z0oA5HClA

Karma, however, came to this jackass white supremacist who neglected to black-out his email address when posting a screenshot of his cancellation.
Netflix announced a new anti-white show (Dear White People) that promotes white genocide.

How many users will Netflix actually lose? Probably tens. TENS! Who will probably resubscribe as soon as House of Cards is released. Somehow, I doubt Reed Hastings — who has called Donald Trump’s actions “un-American” — isn’t that shook.
Dear White People: Get over yourselves, snowflakes.
FYI: If you're boycotting Netflix because of Dear White People, you're helping the show's creators prove their point.

white people: ITS ANTI-WHITE PROPAGANDA INSTITUTIONALIZED OPPRESSION IS A LIE I AM BEING DISC
The greatest irony of the Dear White People outrage is that white people are LITERALLY reacting like the white people in the movie
