BLACK IN AMERICA


Starting next Wednesday Night, there is an interesting series that CNN is airing entitled, "Black in America". It will be hosted by Soledad O'Brien, and it will deal with issues ranging in Women and the Family to common stereotypes that blacks encounter in other cultures as well as their own.
Now, with a show like this, there is a tendency of being both too ignorant and too proud when discussing issues within the black culture. However, I feel this series may be a little different, especially in light of the Barack Obama nomination. There is no question that Obama's running for president has brought the black community back into the limelight, and it is my hope that the information in this series will be more accurate and yet more convicting than previous "Black America" programs.
