		<description>I expected so much more than what was given. I felt like it was not fully put together. It jumped from one thing to another. I thought these series was going to express more of what Black Woman and her family indures. I wanted to see more success than failure. It kinda hurt me to see that our (Black Women) issues were not  fully brought to light.  Where was the health issues? Where was the impact of healthcare has on us? It wasnt there and I felt like they didnt want to say what happens to Black Women was important. What about the Black women who pulled themselves from poverty, not the stars, but the real women we see on the streets. Where was the single mothers who talked about welfare system, child care, diseases, schoool system, and violence? Where were the mothers who talked about how police system? Where were the issues about how women have issues with the color of their skin?  They didnt touch on things that I felt were important to me....I am not the richest, but I am struggling to get ahead.. Where was the economy issues? Debt?</description>

		<description>i would like CNN to examine the dynamics between African Americans and Africans. Africans being those whose are first-fourth generation Africans living in the US. Many Africans distance themselves from the Black community when it relates to educational and family values. I wonder if CNN will discuss this topic...cuz we all know its the truth....tadias</description>

		<description>It&#039;s fck up...

Instead of breaking the law by selling drugs... Start businesses that may not be liscensed but still serve the community. i.e. Daycares, taxi&#039;s services, cosmetics, real estate, etc

Start developing products new or old (like people never remade somethin we did 1st)

And screw capitalism it is based on hoarding assets, and the circulation of money in this system is one way especially for the black community.</description>

		<description>The Way I See It Is, its just another one of CNN&#039;s Ways To Show To America The &quot;black way of life&quot; im not saying its a racist thing COMPLETELY. i&#039;m just saying its obvious that the only times CNN Does something about black people it shows nothing positive. Just a Bunch Of negativity.</description>

		<description>White people honestly feel like we are sooooo different from them, but we aren&#039;t. We are more alike than you can realize, and sometimes when the white person who isn&#039;t familiar with black people realizes it they step back.

		<description>Things in this country will never change for us unless the &#039;black culture&#039; completely changes. The black culture in america, and I am speaking in general terms now, is the hip hop culture. We don&#039;t value education and building real wealth in our communities as much as we should. Big rims and dropping out of school is our culture.Saving money and graduating colle is either viewed as unattainable or just not cool. Having kids at too young an age and no sense for commitment in our marriages are things that define this african american culture. Being super tough and animalistic is too often caused not by desperation but peer pressure, gangs are the way to go whether or not you need &#039;protection&#039;. Don&#039;t even get me started on how cool rap has made drug dealing in highschools nationwide (and I don&#039;t mean just the inercities or even public schools).

 Too many poor blacks feel like they have no way out, and most times it&#039;s true. Human nature is to care about one thing, ourselves, and because of that we choose to ignore those lesser than us even if they are our own race. 

After this interview nothing will change. Absolutely nothing will change, unless the culture changes. The problem is the &#039;black culture&#039; makes toooo much money for the record companies, movie industry, and generally is too ingrained in african americans today that we don&#039;t care to teach our kids anything different.

That&#039;s big of CNN but I wonder if they are really trying to make things better or are just trying to get more viewers.

		<description>This is a issue that has been in great need to be expressed and brought into public sight. Being black in america is just like being a immigrant. When you filll out applications you have to mark African American. some of us have never been to Africa, let alone know the real history on Africa. The fact that we have a &quot;black history month&quot; dedicated to blacks in america shows just how racially divded we are. If that doesn&#039;t convince you do affirmative action ring a bell.

American constantly compare races together to see who&#039;s smarter, richer, poorer. They take a number and classify people. They make excuses for every imperfection white people have. Like more white people are on welfare then black people. A lot didn&#039;t know that but thoes who found that little piece of information out they make sure to add &quot;there are more white people, then black people in america. The fact that we have to be considered black when our skin are brown startles me to. but let&#039;s get back to society.

I remember coming home from class it had to be around 8 at night and it was the winter so it was dark outside. I stayed in the ghetto. The slums whatever you want to call it but i went to college and was at class faithfully. Well i got pulled over by two white officers. They checked my car, bookbag throwing my papers, and books to the ground to let the water from the snow sneak into them as i stood against the car with my hands behind my head like i was some criminal. Before you say i know i didn&#039;t have to let them check my car but for real they can make up anything to make it justifiable and the officer let me know that. I stood and watched them tear my car apart even ribbed the carpet up looking for some drugs that i never had. Once they called a dog unit and it was confirmed that no drugs were on me. I have license, and insurance they let me go with a pat on the back. No apology no nothing. I asked them what was everything for and they told me i looked suspicious. that had me wondering what was so suspcious about me? The color of my skin? My attire? the fact that i have 20 inch rims on my car. (a gift from my dad for high shcool graduation) I knew the reason was i had a nice car, was black, and driving around. 

being black in america is hard becaue you see and feel the difference in treatment. You can go to court and see a white person get off easy for a ticket, then when it&#039;s your turn you have to pay the highest amount of fines they have to give. You see that when you go to school and see teacheres excited about new text books then open the new book and see a stamp with a school in a good neighborhood name it. It was secnd hand books. YOu see how hard it is when you try to obtain a job and can&#039;t get one, then have to deal with knowing you got hired because of affirmative action. it&#039;s hard becaue you have to explain to your children that blacks are the minority in america. You have to sit our teenage sons down and explain to them what to do if a police ever stopped them what to do to make sure they are safe. being doubted on a constant bases hearing people  joke around about the inner cities and apolgize when you tell them where your from.

most of all it&#039;s sad when you know that you only got a job due to affirmative action, that you will never be treated equally, or looked at as a superior person because the way america has labeled you.</description>

		<description>i mean 1st off lets be real cnn wont really report the real raw facts.im from brownsville brooklyn which is notoriously bad.being a black man in america aint easy at all.some of us black men make choices that dont need 2 be made and make excuses for themselves.blaming the system and &quot;white america&quot;if nothing good comes easy we have to make the choice of getting up off of our asses.at the same time the white powers that be have to work with us a whole lot better.they do what they do 2 hold us where we cant really have any power.i doubt a black president will change anything for the black men(and black people period)in america.it&#039;s like basically all we have is sports and music to try 2 make a way and they tryin 2 find ways 2 limit that.the minute we get a power black voice &quot;white america&quot;finds a way 2 destroy that voice.we need 2 be heard and i will watch the special but i doubt cnn will really show what needs 2 be shown so that when if we are lucky enough to get a black president he should know where exactly he needs 2 start fixing things at.im not a racist and im not blaming all black people because bill clinton was a hell of a president but i would like 2 ask this why is it that in every borough in nyc you can find a heavily populated area of black people living in the projects but you cant name me one place where theres projects where there are more whites than blacks?</description>
