They need to call it Trife in America.
There is nothing that I couldn't have learned from watching that show
that I wouldn't have picked up from living with Black people, talking to
my homies, and reading internet message boards.
That show should be called, Black Pathology: A Presentation
for White Folks.
Seriously.
All of us know a Single Black dad raising his kids and facing
housing issues, someone who is being evicted, a "successful"
Black woman who has decided to date white dudes, and a middle
class Black couple that has been married 20 years.
AND???????????
This, IS NEWS?
Why should we be excited about the hardships of the black
family being presented on CNN?
I think its because we expect someone else to save us. For reals homie.
C. Dubb and I go back and forth at least three times a day
trying to hammer out what the mission and vision for this non
profit will be and each day we get closer.
Do you KNOW how much more difficult it is to talk about a
SOLUTION than to go on and on about the problems.
Let me ask you again.
Do you KNOW how much more difficult it is to talk about a
SOLUTION than to go on and on about the problems.
The bugged out thing about the entire show is that I knew
every "talking head" they interviewed.
The academics, the Hollywood writers, the magazine editors.
How much more effective would the series had been if it were focused on
on who makes money off of our poverty and how the every day person can
contribute to changing the situation.
Would they ever make a White in America show?
Why not?
