THe cnn presents black america? opinions?

Question

What did u think?

I'm a teen and i thought it was ok but i mean kinda made it seem like being black was all bad and horrible.

Answer 1

I thought it was very informative and not all bad at all so wake up young black people. YOU ARE THE FUTURE.

This is a very good question.

Answer 2

I think all the hours of research and panel discussion that went into this series could have been put to better use if one question would have been asked:

Where is the personal responsibly?

The vast majority of the problems these people had were because of stupid decisions and no personal responsibility.  

- 70% of babies born to blacks are to unwed mothers

- whining about crack having different criminal sentences than powder cocaine.  As if that is an attempt to rationalize drug use in black communities.

- the staggaring high school drop out rate of black guys.

If they would have some personal responsibility these things wouldn't happen.  It is as if these people don't comprehend that choices have consequences.  If you father a child, if you get pregnant from three different guys, if you refuse to get an education, if you use drugs ... what the h**l do you expect is going to happen?  What kind of future do you seriously expect to have?

That is the question I wish would have been asked.

Answer 3

Makes it seem as though this country is as racist as it was in 1956, which isn't the case at all. I can sum this up in one sentence:

"White oppression and slavery 200 years ago is why i suck at school and life."

Seriously, when will the media show the good and hope that's in some of these community's? I mean come on the democratic nominee for the president of the United States is black, focus on the positive.
