“…but I’m just sayin’!”

Busted a gut on that comment. I was thinking the same thing about about that lovely gentleman in the unitard.

I’m still disappointed by the caption feed coming to a halt with a full hour of the program still to come. It just became meaningless from that point on for deaf people to try and follow, so now I feel a little awkward about giving the program a fair think. I was very impressed with the Rand family because I’m a genealogy fanatic and one of them had done a knock-out job of digging up the family bones.

I too submitted a comment to CNN asking “aren’t black gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgendered persons a part of the ‘black America landscape’?”. It was a travesty to overlook these segments of life in the black community and the struggles faced, not just in the black” mainstream” church but in our families as well.

I have not heard or read a single positive comment about CNN’s Black in America series. Most people have trashed it. I didn’t watch it because I had low expectations and the assumption it would be the same discussions I’ve heard a million times before, by the same people too.

I just wonder if folks who didn’t like it have voiced their displeasure to CNN? They do need to hear from you all.
