Black in America

CNN is showing this series called "Black in America." I appreciate them showing this side of "Us." It's a shame that BET won't show anything like this. All their attention is put into how many videos the can show. Even when they do try to put on that type of programming, something doesn't feel right about it. They find the loudest, most obnoxious people they can find to take part in those forums they have. They all sit there and battle to show that they're the smartest person on the set. So basically it all turns into a shouting match for ratings. It's never an enjoyable event and I always end up watching something else. Way to go BET. Now while I like watching series like "Black in America," what exactly is the end result? I watch the show, see the reality of it, and then turn to Family Guy and laugh. So what did I learn? I guess what I'm trying to say is that all these specials don't mean anything until we can get to the point where we don't have to have TV shows that show how hard it is to be Black in America. We've known that for years. That may never change. Hell, it's hard to just be in America sometimes, let alone Black. Where are the jobs? Where is the education? Where are the leaders? Am I one???
