i think the series opened the eyes of the general population as well as let out a few things that aa don't rarely share with other races. i'm impressed with the piece and think it is an excellent opportunity to create dialoge and foster learning.

what i did not like about the show last night was the profile on the black guy that worked for the school system. a great effort was given to show that he was not a "sell out." if you recall, he moved from the inner city to an almost exclusive white neighborhood, sent his kids to private school, etc. as a means of improving the life of his family. however, as the piece continued to air, we saw two of three kids were married to white women, the oldest son who is a da said he sees no color while in court, the youngest son clearly identified with non-blacks . . . my point being the piece really did make him seem like a sell out.

i liked the part that talked about how we need to be responsible for our own.

sorry - i'm rushing to key this and don't have time to fully develop the thoughts - will get back

I think the issue was with this vingnette that this guy is "supposed to be what all Blacks should strive for"... LOL...
