Hi.

I'm white and I'm a ''culturalist''. I don't care what color you are. You're either a good or a bad person and this is defined by your philosophy of life, which is derived mostly by your culture and your education, hence the word ''culturalist''. I will judge you on your behavior, actions and on your choices of what you fundamentally thinks is right and what is wrong.

That being said...

I watched the show. It made me cried. I'm a 6'4'' 260 pounds 39 yo white male and I cried like a schoolgirl. Why? for one, it was beautiful. Never in my life I saw the television medium used to such a positive and constructive end. It gave me hope that maybe one day fear, ignorance and hatred could REALLY be a thing of the past.

This show is one serious step in that direction, but there are still a lot of ''red neck'' type people around. I'm aware of that. Still, it's positive and we must all, black and white, recognize the deep significance of values and openness this show brings.

We need more social experience like that to bring down the wall of prejudice that keeps us all from enjoying one another for what we really are: HUMANS. If a real big white racist red neck from the deep south can hug a black men in his own house and say from the bottom of his heart ''I love you too'', then everything is possible.

Peace,

Ramon

I thought this was a very good show, I'm saddened that apparently it was a one time show.

This should be an on going series. I like the previous poster do not care about color, I'm a 50 year old white guy and only care about the person, there are plenty of good and bad people in every race.

Please bring this show back on television.

We all got here the same way, this included gays, whites, blacks whatever we are all people and only here for a short time in the grand scheme of things.

I was really looking forward to more of these episodes. It was truly beneficial and will always be a great idea to show that racism strongly exists not only in white to black but black to white, Hispanic to black and vice versa, chinese. It would be a through I opener also to trying to accomplish harmony between all cultures. Please continue this show. I am black but all races have marred images an incorrect stereotypes that need to be broken.

Daily Horoscope for December 27

Aquarius

Diplomacy is your middle name today, so make the most of it while it lasts. It will be just what you need if you've been waiting for the right time to raise a tricky topic with you-know-who, and it will also come in handy if you're caught up in a potentially sensitive conversation with someone and you want to extricate yourself as smoothly as possible.
