I don't know how I feel about the religious angle, though. I wish they would have contacted a black economist or something (perhaps they did and just aren't showing it in the previews).
It was definitely shock value. LOL. "Black in America: The Almighty Debt" is attention grabbing enough.

The religious angle is an attempt to address the institutions that are most prevalent in the Black community, in general. I think they also interviewed a Black economist (or some equivalent) and he may have been the person whose clip they used in response to "is debt a bigger problem than racism."
