| Special on BLACKS IN AMERICA
Subject: Special on BLACKS IN AMERICA Did you know that companies in the US have said they would hire a white man with a felony record and no high school education BEFORE they would hire a black man with NO criminal record and a 4-year degree? On July 23 at 9pm and July 24 at 9pm, CNN will premier a series, 'Black in America with Soledad O'Brien' and I personally challenge you to watch it WITH your children, especially your sons, if you have any, uninterrupted. The aforemention statistic and many others will be revealed during the series. I had the privilege of meeting with Soledad O'Brien and actually SEEING this premier on Monday, and what I saw brought tears to my eyes and anguish, frustration, and a sense of helplessness to my soul. On Monday the series will focus on Women and Families and Tuesday is dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America . I beg and plead with you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch and internalize what you see and hear; no matter HOW disturbing the information revealed...you can (and will) thank me later. Feel free to pass this email on or go here for more information: Special Reports - Black in America

So now that yt CNN has produced a show about it we are now to believe our own reality? It is now OK to believe it? We are supposed to internalize what we ALREADY KNEW FROM OUR DAILY WALK IN OUR LIVES? You know....Obama running for president has got many people acting a fool, tripping over themselves to acknowledge things that should have been way before he ran. Makes you wonder what is next.

Here's a related thread about the special.

The only thing that would change the way many people think is if much more than a black man getting into the presidential seat. Maybe it will improve some thinking in some minds but basically....nothing new will happen for many folks.
