I was just about to start a thread.

This is amazing to watch.

eta: the after discussion can be found by googling "A Conversation About Race"+MSNBC, for anyone who is interested.

The Doll test....wow.

Cool. There was a story on TV awhile back about a white Midwestern(?) farmer who tracked down a distant relative through some sort of DNA pool (I think). The distant relative turned out to be a black woman living in a large Eastern city. They became friends.

Much more to it than that, though. This discussion is the first real, frank discussion on race I've ever seen. I think it's important, and I think more need to see it.

The forum discussion is riveting.

I just read the article blurb from Abs link. I'll check out the conversation.

Unfortunately, the people that I think could most benefit from seeing it are the ones least likely to watch.

exactly.


I want to meet Chris Rock's wife, she's brilliant.

Wow....

I want to distribute copies of that to every high school in this country, and make it required viewing.

Agreed.

I know Jack about being black...but I know about being poor and what struggle is...but other than that, I lack that cultural understanding.

That was so insightful.
