Well folks it looks like MTV is getting ready to get a bunch of boxes of Kleenex for some good old white folks tears with a new Reality Documentary called White People. While I was watching with Kermit and MJ popcorn in one hand and ice tea in the other as I watch the preview most seem nervous and uncomfortable to talk about race and their white privilege and what it means to have it; I’m hoping they learn HOW they can help heal the wounds that has been inflicted upon people of color. So my white folks breakout the tissues and blow your nose and start cryin’. Maybe Common ( I mean this sarcastically) can cry with you while comforting you with love? Will you be watching my black and white people? I know I am!
If you’re white and have ever felt uncomfortable or offended whenever I have called out the American entertainment industry’s long history of racism, then 1) wow I feel very sorry for you and 2) get ready to squirm in your seats. On July 22, MTV is premiering a documentary called White People (lol I know) in which white people are forced to think about how white they are. Check out the trailer below (warning: lots of white people tears lie ahead).
