I didn't care for the last one. I thought it was far too stereotype driven, and they even talked about it some then continued to do it. Like they previewedthe black money in America and I'm thinking it's going to be about doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc., like the lesser talked about subsection ofblack people, but it's about rappers and ball players

Anyone on NT ever go to the tuxedo ball?
I'm not a member of Jack & Jill but have been invited several times, don't think i'll go though.
This one is a little bit better than the first but IMO they still don't address the issues within the black community, the "crabs in a bucket"mentality that most of us have stemming way back to slavery.
It seems its just the same stories with different characters.
And as someone said above me, people are going to sit down watch this and think they know black people.

i dont understand how they can use Steve Harvey *who is a comedian* and Tyler Perry *a man who makes movies appealing almost strictly to blacks* as credibleresources. Asking these two on there .02 makes no sense.

I would expect BET to use celebrities and such, but CNN? We know Tyler Pery went from homeless to rich, but thats a case that wont happen to mostpeople in poverty, and they know it. I would like to see CNN show why there are more blacks in poverty, why there are more blacks in jail for petty"charges",harrasments from cops ( recently the professor from Harvard), and etc.Originally Posted by shortydoowopp

I'm not calling you fam but it seems like nothing is good enough for some black people. BET, BET awards, TVone, CNN-black in america. I bet if somebodyreally went in and dug up all the problems and dirt of the black community then yall would be saying "Why they can't show nothing positive?" Isa no-win with some of ya'll. I agree I don't wanna hear Tyler Perry's story AGAIN. but they doing a decent job.
Last time was good when they followed the one dude around thru job interviews and seen the process of getting a job.
