American culture is so profoundly influenced by the culture brought over by enslaved Africans that it kind of pains me to watch this show and realize I have never seen CNN do a show about that. Some of the exercises that teachers did with students shown on the show reinforces negative things. Why not reinforce our cultural heritage of people like Du Bois, all the great musicians, artists and writers? That's something to talk about. The garbage can of racism will always be there and there's not use telling kids to stick their head in it. They already know.
