Race: The Power of an Illusion [TV Documentary Series]
Actress CCH Pounder narrates this three-part documentary miniseries, which explores the myths, meanings, and importance of racial distinctions in the United States. Most viewers "know" the differences and similarities of the red, black, white, and yellow race bases; Race: The Power of an Illusion goes beyond so-called conventional knowledge and offers the unvarnished truth. Episode one, "The Difference Between Us," utilizes modern science to challenge ancient and venerable assumptions about race. Episode two, "The Story We Tell," is about the "race concept" in North America -- that is, the traditional stereotypes that were fostered during the country's formation and propounded by the media and popular entertainment in the 19th century. The conclusion, "The House We Live In," examines the political, economic and cultural aspects of race. Originally prepared by California Newsreel, a website which provided videos on a number of contemporary topics, Race: The Power of an Illusion made its mainstream TV bow courtesy of PBS beginning April 24, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On Streetwalkers Live...pjmaclean said "Rather like Robert Johnson, Muddy and Chess records "US corporate blues and rock pathfinders" did not appreciate and subsequently understand that the creative would be led by the original English speaking nation - sure the video ain't up too much but as I have had the privileged of listening and even singing with US and UK rockers as a pure amateur - this is silk cotton against your nylon trailers.

jesslisby said "I personaly think that Sonny is better off with jesse and sandra.she has her father and another woman whom is not her mother to teach her to be a honest, compassionat and trustyworthy young lady. which her so called mother could not of ever taught her.her mother teaches her to lie and steal. What type of mother is that. if sunny was to stay with her mother, she would only learn to be a horrible person with no morals or values. is that what you would want for your child or yourself growing up. sunny is a child yes....but she knows tha jesse and sandra are trying to protect her and give her a good life. at least sandra cares about her and loves her..."
