Who saw the show & what do you think about it? Do you agree with Abasi's extreme views? Do you agree that Marguerite did a great job of holding her tongue for as long as she did?

I was surprised that she held her tounge and found it amusing when she would say "wow, look at that, that sure is pretty" and he would just sigh....I think he's using the show to air his views and not to try to learn anything. He is stuck in his mindset and noone or nothing is going to change that. He had some good points although he would drive me up the wall. That was all he talked about, all they aired anyway. I think her friends are a little clueless as to how hard it is to just come back to New Orleans and rebuild. I feel that blacks do have it harder here in the U.S. They have to work harder to get what they want. But to shout out statistics about how many are in prisons and unemployed, who's fault is that? Can we just blame everything on the white man? Do you see Jewish people blaming all their problems on Hitler? I think almose every race was enslaved at one time or another. As long as you keep focussing on what you don't have, why you don't have it and who's keeping you from having it then you'll never get ahead. Do you think Oprah, Condoleeza or all of the successfull actors, politicians, doctors, lawyers, athletes, musicians..etc.....of color sit back and complain how they've been mistreated? No, because they get off their asses and do something about it. They work, go to school, get an education and show the white man that they have a right just as any other person to Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I would tell him to never forget where he came from but learn forgiveness because without it he'll never move ahead to bigger and better things. Peace

my wife and I are fans of the show, it usually has a good mix up and in the long run both wives see a new world thru someone else's eyes. Marguerite was on before and if you seen that episode you would remember her as a crazed, wide-eyed, so-called "God Warrior"...basically...she was a nut...but last night I think she redeemed herself and did a great job of holding her tongue.
Abasi...whew..I am not sure what to say there except that someone, a state official, needs to get that little girl out of that house..Shaka doesn't need to grow up with those outdated ideas. I know that black people went thru hell in the 1700's and 1800's and in some places even deep into the 1900's. Regardless, this is the 21st century and blacks can be as prominent as their desires take them.
I am not naive to the point of thinking that all blacks are given the extreme equal chance, but the lack of equality goes beyond skin color. I have been in position to advance only to have someone else get the job due to a relationship rather than honest, earned advancement....so it happens everywhere and on different size scales.
Marguerite exercised great restraint!
(very good question!)

like a volcano you just knew she was going to erupt.that black power dude didn't help his cause too much. I'm waiting for a spin off where domestic violence starts and they have to call in the show "cops"
