Idocare, you might be able to purchase a copy on itunes. Another alternative is to contact Cnn and purchase a copy if they have hem available. They usually do.

The show is great so far! Gotta go its back on!!!!!

It will play again at midnight (EST) and 3am on CNN. Tomorrow's show will do the same. I am taping it on Video Cassette to be able to share it with my fiance once he arrives. I have TIVO, but I cannot seem to feel confident about the intangible digital age yet. I still love the "old faithful" VCR!

Although I did let go of my audio cassette tapes during the advent of the compact disc "CD" :) that was hard to do back then.

okay, now you have all watched "black in america."

I pose these questions to you:

did this show inform you of issues you were not aware of?

did this show reaffirm what you already knew, lived and overcame?

how has this show affected your foreign SO's view of america versus what they "thought" about being "black in america?"

and lastly, was this show worth your time and effort to watch and absorb its message?

all views and opinions are appreciated.

pls. no personal attacks, flaming, or trolling. and if a mod is modding, pls. advise if this thread is becoming offensive or violating TOS before shutting it down with out warning.

thank you.

I felt the show was very educational from beginning to the end. Solidad did a wonderful job. I was surprised at the percentage of single mothers, and was able to identify with educated single women, heck the whole show was imforming and worthy of watching again with my son ( 18 ) during family movie nite. ( We take turns choosing movies so he won't have a choice but to watch what I pick.......hehehe )

What was shocking to me was the percentage of Hiv/Aids. Whew, I just know tomorrow nite's show will be equally as good.

I will try and find a copy of this somewhere....perhaps the network will release it to DVD and it will be available at public libraries "soon."

My ex-wife used to work at a staffing agency and used to tell me some very sad stories about how employers found ways to get around hiring black people. I don't remember the details of these tricks but it used to anger and frustrate us both...and this was only one aspect of a much larger picture. Anyone who says that racism is no longer a problem in America is full of it.
