Black. White.

I've only watched 4 minutes of the pilot, and already, I know to tell you all to watch this show. Synopsis here.

Ok, does the (white) dad realize that he thinks he is giving a complement but really he's being just as derogatory as, oh, I dunno, Hitler? Ok, maybe that's a bit harsh. He just said "as a former basketball player, I'd just really love to jump, slam dunk like these guys. I mean, clearly, blacks are superior - hands down, they're faster, they jump higher, they're just superior."

HI.

I'm a little concerned about 2 families taking the torch for entire races.

I'm really impressed on how they bring in race relations professionals on the process. I hope they continue this throughout the series.

OK. This (white) Dad, I cannot WAIT for the first time he is called the "n" word. He's got this theory that he'll be able to just brush it off and won't bother him in the slightest. I think they're totally setting him up for it to happen and for him to loose it.

WATCH. THIS. SHOW. or don't. But this, is good television.
