  4. Boston Blue S01E18

    What was particularly moving about this episode was one sister going out of her way to help another sister :)

    [A sister just returned from visiting South Africa. She'd been to Robben Island where Madiba was imprisoned. So I was wondering earlier whether she knew about Steve Biko, the godfather of Black Consciousness and then this episode delivered the example of Black Consciousness above to me.]

  24. The Yellow Birds released in 2017

    depicts the token Black Soldier to be virulently racist against Muslims more than any white character reinforcing negative steretypes of Black People; so I rated this movie at 1
