"Is this a movement or a primal scream?" one character asks another in the trailer for Dear White People Vol. 2, between shots of a college campus taut with racial tension.
"Both," she replies.
In the full trailer for Dear White People's second season, Winchester University is still dealing with the fallout from Season 1's blackface party, student protests, and that time a student almost got shot. Sam (Logan Browning) is getting anonymous hate both online (which she can't resist responding to) and in the form of vandalized bananas hanging outside her dorm room (not in an empowering way). She's fired up and doesn't care who knows it – but isn't that who Sam is?
And amid noise like flyers that read "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE" and characters like "Kirkland Signature Ann Coulter," there's still a bunch of college kids trying to have their voices heard and identities validated – even with a few awkward ex-to-ex hallway run-ins.
Dear White People Vol. 2 premieres May 4 on Netflix.
