Ever since CNN aired the super controversial Black in America two-part series last year, I have anxiously awaited a new installment of the documentary. Many people were not pleased with the topics that were covered in the original series, which resulted in a lot of heated discussions and debates surrounding the show and how we as African-Americans were being portrayed.
This time around, CNN host Soledad O’Brien promises that it will provide a balanced and truthful overview of the state of African-Americans this time around.
Here is an exclusive clip from the show featuring comedian Steve Harvery. Check it out here.
CNN: Black In America 2: Steve Harvey Exclusive
Uploaded by thatsfunny. – Watch the latest news videos.
Part 1 airs tonight on CNN 9pm, EST. Will you be tuning in? What were you thoughts on the last one?
I will definitely watch this tonight!
i watched both nights last year. i dont know about watching again this year. i agree that the plight of the black american cannot be covered in just a few hours over the course of two nights but i also dont feel like the show is for me. i think it’s a great educational tool for those who dont live and see it everyday. im not saying i didnt learn anything but i think it’s more beneficial for “others” to watch.
I want to see it too. Thanks for the heads up.
I think I’ll watch. I didn’t watch last time, because it wasn’t appealing to me. Then after everyone else watched it, we had heated discussions about the topics and themes.
I think I’m too busy being Black in America to have CNN tell me what being Black in America is.
I’ll probably watch tonight. If it’s some gah-bage I will not be turing in for the second night.
i will definitely be watching. i went to the preview in atlanta last week, and i think this installment will be stellar!
I will tune in.

I was terribly disappointed with the last one but I will give this one a try. I feel obligated since it’s about us! As for Steve Harvey, I just can’t stand to even listen to his voice let alone anything he has to say. Sorry.
Amen T!!!
I have mixed feelings in regards to the last installment, but I might tune in to this one just to compare. I don’t necessarily feel I need to be shown what it is like to be black in America… I live that every day. I do see how it could be beneficial for other nationalities and races to see black people in another light aside from a negative one.
I really didn’t care for last years showings. But I just watched the first installment of Part II and it was really good. I will watch tomorrow. It was more solution oriented.
I didn’t get a chance to watch last night’s installment, but I did DVR it. I can’t wait to watch it!
I DVRed the series too. I’ll be watching it soon.
