Sorry people until I become a professional writer my paying job takes precedence over this. I didn't mean to leave you hanging.
CNN's Black in America
Well this may upset some people but I'm Black and I'm in America so I didn't think CNN especially Soledad O'Brien could tell me too much more about this. Mind you, Soledad calls into the Howard radio station here in DC every once in a while. They usually play a little trivia game where they play an old school black song and she has to name it. I haven't heard her get one right YET! Her credibility on the subject matter is on E (empty).
Anyways...I did catch some random feedback on Facebook and through conversations with friends. My personal favorite status update was "CNN needs to catch-up, I have been watching Gangland on A&E for years". I have no further comment on that except a nice *snicker, snicker*
I was then alerted to a website discussed on the segment regarding the Black family and Single Mothers. Please check-out this website regarding Marry Your Baby Daddy Day. As a non-married, college educated, single woman with no plans for children until marriage, I applaud the intentions of this site. But I know for a FACT this escaped the very audience that it was intended for which is people with "baby's daddys" and those trying to understand the phenomenon (IE others outside of the Black race).
I can't really speak too much because like I said I didn't watch and don't plan to watch. I dont think any one group of people can tell me what is like to be ANY one race in ANY country. Everyone has unique experiences and to label certain issues as Black is very disturbing to me.
That being said the general consensus I got was HATED IT.
