    well, we're talking about a show called "Who's Black In America"...

    also, this "no traffic" thing is sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy

    I watched some of it. Interesting stuff. It took a few different perspectives. Identity is really important, but I'm unsure if how other people see you is as important as you see yourself.


    There was one guy who was a dark dominican who said he doesn't consider himself black because he's ethnically different. My opinion of it is, he sees himself as ethnically Dominican and not "African-American" or "Black" so that's what it is I guess.
