I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it could be great because it can prove that African Americans are just as capable of landing high-profile jobs. Our education and street sense is just as good as anybody's. From watching the Apprentice, it always seems as though the African-American contestants are always counted out before they even get started. And they hardly ever get respect when they are project managers. If the African American team wins most challenges, it can help to dispel some of the "inferior" steretypes. However, if the white team beats the Black team down, then it can (and will) open a racial can of worms in this country.
