I think this one was better because atleast twice they refered to research that shows that the justice system is biased, employers are biased etc. They needed to do that way more with the first episode. I'm glad they discussed racism instead of acting like White people have no effect on us and don't actually have a role in things. I thought the part about rap was good because they admitted that the white executives have a role in degrading hip hop and that it actually had positive roots. It bugs me though that the young Black couples shown were not together (that guy who was late for the birthday party) and the other young guy was dating a White girl. They didn't say anything about how successful Black men sometimes choose White girls or about why they date interracially way more than Black women. <br>They also didn't say anything about Black racial identity development, like how people feel about being Black, when they realized they were Black and the barriers that would come with it, their thoughts about Africa, or anything about activism or civil rights groups. I think that coving those issues would actually tell the world a lot more about what its like to be Black in Black people's minds. Those issues would be more about the \"essence\" of being Black.

Perhaps there could be a combo conference like Blogging While Brown with UNITY and we\'ll get the top candidates running with more than 25% POC constituency to attend. We can cross-post on several blogs. Shecodes at Black Women Vote will have an agenda in place. Everybody else will of course be jumping on the bandwagon to co-opt as per usual after the fact but they will not get away with taking any credit. For those that still wish to participate at NetRoots perhaps they will actually listen to suggestions and if not they will start to look intentionally separatist. After 4 years you can\'t keep claiming ignorance or inability. Of course anyone can attend but why would anyone want to when there are places that are willing to acknowledge their presence and present topics of interest to a wider variety of people. It\'s never been more profitable for former Republicans to become Democrats. And unless the FCC is fortified there will be jobs for the more idiotic Repug meme chanters to work as they criticize and nit-pick everything President Obama does and does not do.</div>\

Why do we bloggers of color have to be the ones doing outreach to get people of color to Netroots Nation if they are serious about inclusion?<br><br>I think Gina Cooper took what we told her, put some major spin on it and went whining to Markos about the complaints that nearly 90% of bloggers I talked to at NN had - THE LACK OF DIVERSITY.  Those caucuses don\'t count because the way they were scheduled, got the intended result - SEPARATION of every ethnicity and gender.<br><br>Markos may come from privilage, but Bill O\' Reilly lets him know every day on that ragtag show of his that he considers Markos a dirty ethnic blogger - just like the rest of us.  It\'s not our fault that Markos hasn\'t got the message yet, and wants to be ethnic when convenient, like his buddy, the Dark Sith.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-996674" class="dsq-comment-message">I think tonight\'s show was MUCH better than yesterdays. They should have just mixed up all of the segments from yesterday and today instead of separating them into The Black Woman and Family and Black Men because there was so much overlap. I think that they presented less on exclusively Black women problems and successes. I think this one was better because atleast twice they refered to research that shows that the justice system is biased, employers are biased etc. They needed to do that way more with the first episode. I\'m glad they discussed racism instead of acting like White people have no effect on us and don\'t actually have a role in things. I thought the part about rap was good because they admitted that the white executives have a role in degrading hip hop and that it actually had positive roots. It bugs me though that the young Black couples shown were not together (that guy who was late for the birthday party) and the other young guy was dating a White girl. They didn\'t say anything about how successful Black men sometimes choose White girls or about why they date interracially way more than Black women. <br>They also didn\'t say anything about Black racial identity development, like how people feel about being Black, when they realized they were Black and the barriers that would come with it, their thoughts about Africa, or anything about activism or civil rights groups. I think that coving those issues would actually tell the world a lot more about what its like to be Black in Black people\'s minds. Those issues would be more about the "essence" of being Black. They did a better job but I think the issues I mentioned are so important and they would be totally different from anything White people experience. It might be groundbreaking to White people but definitely not for me.</div>\

I think there was a better variety of stories and showed more than deadbeat dads, and Spike and  Lupe are just wonderful, so I loved that. I\'m so tired of the black people "acting white" argument though. The only times I was ever called white was because of the music I listened to (still not cool, but not the same as being called white for being smart), not my intelligence.  Buddy from the Cosby show seriously needed to shut up. When he was talking during the Spike segment I just wanted to ask him if he knew how much of an idiot he sounded. Now, my dad is a black republican, but he doesn\'t try to make as many excuses for white people and just society in general, as this Cosby dude did. Ugh.<br><br>Anyways,  Much more pleased tonight, but still a lot of things that could have been done better.</div>\

When I did well in school, I was called a nerd or corny - no one accused me of trying to be White.<br><br>The school superintendent and his sons annoyed me because they seemed to buy into that White is right mentality. He wanted a family like the ones he saw on The Andy Griffith Show and My Three Sons? What, did he never see any Black families in real life that he could have emulated?</div>\

It is not intelligence that is derided it\'s the idea that being intelligent or educated brings you closer to whiteness.  Another self-hate issue.<br><br>I too was irritated by the Superintendent.  Many blacks believe they have to exclude themselves from other blacks to be respected for their achievements.  But as I said upthread, we will always be suspect.  There are a lot of blacks who are pretending for we are all but a generation or two (and sometimes not at all) removed from the problems deemed specific to blacks.</div>\

Its worst mistake was that the individual profiles were almost too good, and you wanted to see more of their stories.  <br><br>I never had any notions that Black In America was going to provide much in the way of in depth discussion nor solutions.  And while they didn\'t, I still think the effort was worth it , even while noting that the doc was mostly a summer ratings grab.  <br><br>If you disagree, look at it this way: At least it wasn\'t "We Got to Do Better".</div>\
