We cannot rely on "mainstream media" to tell our stories. PBS would have done a better job, I can't believe that they spent 18 months making this. I am sorry but I see a lot of black folks like Soledad bragging that they went to Harvard & Yale but I am not seeing any critical thinking skills being used. Our "talented tenth" is not so talented, they are part of the problem too and not just unwed mothers.

Wow, someone said exactly how I felt about the series! And she held nothing back either!
I didn't even think the "Black in America" was worth my time discussing it. My biggest problem was I'm seeing just Black people discussing "Black in America", not other groups. I had a few Africans who voluntarily migrated to America tell me they should have been represented also but was not.
I agree, we need our own venues to speak our own message.
I didn't watch. For similar reasons. Why? What is CNN going to tell me about being Black in America that I don't already know?
U can't trust the mainstream media to do shit right where minorities r conserned.
exactly why i didnt watch. im already black in america. lol that was so silly
if ppl are so curious about black people they should get to know some
i bet u wont see being white in america
