Black History Take 2

That's what I'm talking about is about to come on again and I'm just now reporting on last weeks That's what I'm talking about. This week or last week, rather, was less organized. No one had the decency to be quiet when others were talking except Wayne Brady, who was suppose to be the moderator, and Wanda Sykes. Don't get me wrong; interruption is a good thing during a debate but there has to be some sense to it. You couldn't hear a damn thing! Spike Lee only got worked up about sports and the other Cat was talking, a lot, but about what? He said Bill Cosby was getting up in age and perhaps didn't really know what he was talking about when he made the historic "offensive" call for lower class black Americans to step up.
Al Sharpton has a lot to say, which is nothing new, but when Wanda Sykes called him out, saying she never knows what to expect when he goes out to represent us, she hopes he doesn't say something crazy, was very on the mark as well as funny because that along with the fact that Brady gave his top ten for most influential leaders in the black community and Sharpton wasn't one of them really got him warm under the collar and he got really quiet after that.
Now the other show on PBS was better. Of course, the host now was on his quest for his black roots, but found that they were able to trace his strong European roots but only found a small red dot in Africa. This made me think even more that it was his, (Skip is his name) intention to let the world know that he had a lot of European in him which again, like I said before is, and for his sake should be painfully obvious! Why should one celebrate a blood that flows through their veins because of generations of violent rape? And while his skin may be lighter and his hair may be wavier, even the darkest nappy headest brother or sister doesn't have to look to far to find white blood... It's a given. But the show was very interesting! What I found most intriguing is how they traced back African roots. They took Chris Tucker back to his actual tribe. I would love to do that and I plan to do so. That's what we should be focusing on instead of which great-great-great grandfather or grandmother was white. Who's hair is softer and skin is lighter when in reality we all are seen as niggers. The white blood that flows through our veins only seperates us among ourselves not seperates us in their eyes.
