  • Too many generations have passed already to tag the blame on the white guy. Best both can do is to talk/discuss, just the way they did. I'm not sure how much sense it would make for him to apologize for something he didn't do. The black David had balls enough to make the movie.

  • I only agree with the last part we all need to meet with some common ground.I'm not suggesting bleeding into a dish? Just people to treat others the way they want to be treated.First you have to take a better approach then getting so defensive.Guilt will do that.

  • What is the White David Wilson supposed to do? Cut his wrist and bleed into a dish? The two guys talked it out and met and brought a good message of reconciliation. That is progress enough. I think maybe another White person would react differently...this WAS an isolated incident. It would be great if this happened with all Black and White people in this country though.

  • The white David never said "sorry for what my family shamefully did to yours."Even after Tom Joyner asked.If he said sorry that is respect he just weaseled his way out of it.He showed no remorse at all.Hell he did'nt even know where his Horid ancestors had the slave shacks at?The black David had no balls that shit was so scripted it was kinda pathetic.They touched some issues but they did'nt open the door the whole way to me that was kinda dissapointing especially after how they hyped it up.

  • I saw the documentary lat night on MSNBC, it was a very epic, moving and educational experience, I just wish more people actually saw it :(.
