Watched the second half
Of this special and enjoyed it. But I liked the segment with Gen. Powell and Franklin Raines slightly better than Hollywood. I think that Gates is probably a moderate when it comes to politics, but he does have some slight bootstrap leanings.
And I loved Skip Gates' visiting with Milton Irvin (?) and his friends in the suburbs, including the Pearsons. I do admit that Donna Pearson had me doing a double-take before I listened to her and the insensitive comments she sometimes got because she's fair enough to pass.
Honestly, I think that Gates is on point when he says that the extreme right and the extreme left's view of our communities are not right.
