A Place on 'The Black List'

摘要

After the washington Post ran a series of surveys and stories called "Being a Black Man" in 2006, comedian Bill Cosby lambasted the project for being too rosy. "I'm not interested in hearing that things aren't as bad as they seem," Cosby told an audience. Now, with Obamamania at a fever pitch, the black community is under a microscope (see: CNN's hotly debated "Black in America" documentary) and every examination of it invites the criticism that the view is either too dismal, or not dismal enough. "The Black List: Volume 1," a new documentary on HBO, is bound to irk Cosby-esque pessimists.
