Black in America 2 highlighted that issues affecting the most “at-risk” persons (our children) in the Black community require the immediate attention of progressive Blacks. It was clear to me that making provisions for Black children who are at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder through boarding schools established outside the “hoods”, staffed by caring and competent Black teachers and caregivers would be a great start to combatting these issues and breaking the cycle of ignorance and poverty.

I forgot to add that if bashing African-Americans wasn’t enough…CNN had to go to South Africa and bash Africans. South Africans were portrayed as poverty stricken, AIDS infected people. To add insult to injury…apartheid was just “mentioned” in passing. CNN’s aim – to perpetuate a negative image of the ENTIRE African race. I was ABSOLUTELY disgusted!

I watched most of it last night and realized that CNN and Soledad O’Brien have absolutely NO overstanding of what it means to be black in America. African-Americans were either portrayed in a negative light (alcoholics, coke addicts, welfare mommas, basketball obsessed dummies) OR they were portrayed as middle class, affluent people with no connection with the “rest” of their kind. CNN and Soledad should be ashamed!!!!!
