Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface, Dear White People is an hilarious send-up of post-racial America that weaves together the universal story of finding ones own identity and forging a wholly unique path.
The last season ended with Sam (played by Logan Browning) being specially selected by a secret society known as The Order X alongside Lionel (DeRon Horton).

So far little is known about the order and what they stand for, but of course well soon find out.
I think we have to follow up what the Order of X is, what it means, what to continues to mean, teased showrunner Justin Simien.

Dear White People is available to stream on Netflix with the new season arriving in Friday 2 August.Read More – Source
