This one is to edumacate Black folks on debt. The reality is that the Black folks who need this the most don't watch CNN in the first place and/or won't be watching this show. Take this show on the road and then we'll have some real outcomes. For the records, there are Black community organizations (including chapters of Delta) that have economic programs in the Black community and teach people about debt, line of credit, investments, etc.

I would interested in seeing something like that.
And I do admire the NPHC programs (5 Point Thrust, etc) specifically for these purposes (italics) [edit: bold2].
Ugh. I feel like I'm one step away from saying "DIVAstating"
ETA: When the entire quote is in italics, then italicizing it makes no difference. I'll call it "bold2"
