I like the podcast because it really was on point. Sistah you hit the nail on the head when you said it's all about the ratings. I don't intend to watch the show for some key reasons you mentioned.

Speaking of Soledad, I just saw this interview moments later after listening to your podcast. She's really laying it on thick to promote her Black in America2. OMG!!

We as N.D. Buddhist make it a practice to give special thanks to the obstacle that we have not only been able to over come but to have become a better person for having over come said obstacle.And, this is how I am glad that I watched the first CNN special and am looking forwards to the second one...

I said all of this to say how if I had never gone on line to farther document my anger over that first CNN BIA 'special',(as the FCC says do) I would have never have found this site.I wanted the owners, sponsors and producers of this false picture of the values and view of our Black community to know that "I" was holding them totally responsible for this manipulation of the public air waves and promoting racism,ect.)

I am so very, very thankful for becoming a member of this Black community.And, I pray that this coming CNN's BIA special will allow even more of our people who are concerned about our race and our culture being exploited like this will not only find this Black social networking site as I did inorder to someday allow our actual African-American history be shown over our public cable news networks in prime time over our public air waves...And, here is my demand, that programs like this come into unsuspecting homes come with a disclaimer. Why is this, well I pay each much month a cable bill which these networks put up ads to me that says they will be showing honest and informal programs. NOne say that they will be bringing into my home things that put my family in danger or that is demeaning to us without warning us this will be coming into my home for my grandchildren to be able to see...or teaching them just the opposit of what they are being taught in public schools and by the family about Black in America!!!!!!!!!Things that are to deep to say here...but, I hope you all get the idea...

Change must be for the future that has been begun in the past and in the present where we are now experiencing (and in many way being the cause of)this ratings over the roof, money maker(smile),because we SHALL OVER COME ONE DAY...just as we always have...much love and respect to my brothers and sisters on this BIA site...
