What did you think of Black Girls Rock?

Guy #1- I think it could have been better, but overall I love the concept behind it. You don’t see too many, if any at all, programs strictly about empowering black women. Therefore, I support the show. It would be incredible to see more shows about empowering black women, black men, Hispanic women, Hispanic men, etc. I will support BET more if they supported everybody.

Guy #2- The fact that BET showed it blew my mind. The same network that aired BET UnCut for years is supporting black women now? The same network that showed Daddy’s Little Girls (a movie that shows a black mother who treated her daughters like less than scum) right before they aired the program? The same network that has continuously exploited black women for years ironically is showing Black Girls Rock now? I don’t support the show, simply because BET can’t even be consistent enough to prove to me they are sincerely supporting black women.

Guy #3- I didn’t like it. It was boring to me. I think it could have been better but then again it was on BET; what do you expect?

How do you feel about the Herman Cain scandal?

Guy #1- I think it is all another way to just bring another black man’s credit down. I don’t know much about his policies and plans but I know a lot of the media see a black man trying to make a difference so they want to bring him down through scandals and things like that.

Guy #2- This whole scandal just adds to the pile of stuff that is going on with the Republican party. With so much going on in that party, I just add that to the long list of nonsense that is going on with those guys and girls. I can’t even keep up anymore with the stuff. This scandal is just another reason why I think we can’t afford to lose a president like Obama. The Republicans are messing up and trying to bring him down, but they can’t even keep themselves together.

Guy #3- It shows just how scandalous our American government is. The only thing interesting about him is the fact that he got caught. Our government is so messed up that I am sure they are all doing something dirty but he just so happened to make someone mad and let the story get out. I think Herman Cain is no different than any other political figure.

Who is your favorite man in history?

Guy #1- Jesus Christ. I live my life by the lessons he taught the world. Without him I would be absolutely nothing. He made miracles, taught lessons, and influenced the world for over 2,000 years later.

Guy #2- The African American slave is my favorite man in history. To see the fact that these men came from absolutely nothing, to now have a legacy that has led to them becoming the president of the United States, that means a lot to me. The American slave is the strongest man I know.

Guy #3- I think every man in history that we learn about in our World and American history classes are all strong because they all have strong stories to tell. I think those men are remembered because history will never, no matter what, ever forget their names. Men from George Washington to Malcolm X, from Andrew Johnson to Martin Luther King Jr. These were my favorite because they were great.
