I know they believe the prototype is Al Sharpton and I know in most white minds how dare HE dare them to prove him wrong. Very disappointed that this show was negligent in its assertion that black folk’s must be in herd formation to be heard, and too ignorant to make up their own minds and are just little children waiting for reaction instructions from some Rev. Pied Piper. People view life presented on tv not much different than is done in real life and this show is one more show guilty of not understanding that non whites are going to viewed in the collective while the white scenario gets the privilege of a story focused on the individual. Danny’s story wasn’t about cops et al but about “the” cop Danny while the sub’s were about illegal aliens and the black community and not the individuals. Think about it.

I keep hoping for a positive prominent non-white regular character on BB’s but I just don’t think that’s going to happen.
