:D I am not sure how effective in creating peace the show will be. Did any one see the piece they did on hip hop & america. I felt that though their were good points made it was less then productive on either side. And that was dealing with aferican american rapper and women not an interracial issue. How are they going to talk about the brown and black tension without adding to the flame. Did they talk to the gatekeepers in both communities or will this be mudd sling show. I hope that the show had help from the latino community in the of the shows creation. Since the black community is still seen as being linked to bet. When we all know it has less to do with black community then corprate greed.

I saw the show, it was nothing special, just more of the same: Sheryll Green, ECC vs F13, protraying black gangs as the ones on the losing end of the gang war, etc...

They had Snoop Dogg on there...talked about him making the song Vato and about ending the violence.
