BET NEWS: BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL: THE N WORD (encore presentation) -
TVPG/CC
This 1/2-hour BET News special takes an in-depth look at one of the
most notorious and controversial racial epithets in America and perhaps
the world. We have to ask ourselves, are we responsible? Has our
repeated use of the N-word in our music, movies, and conversations
given white people a pass to do the same thing? BET News will discuss
these issues and other double-edged swords as we explore the use of the
word in everyday life. Includes commentary from Michael Eric Dyson; 50
Cent; Bow Wow; Meagan Good; Randall Kennedy; John Ridley, Paul Wall and
Fat Joe.
