I turn 44 later this year; God willing of course; earlier today I was thinking about how a lot of this went down; I remember the OJ case, and Rodney King - is right around where things started to go 'backwards' again; Let me explain if you don't mind ...

Look at TV in the 80s

if some of you follow me you 'might' remember me talking about a TV Show, I used to watch as a kid, but must not have watched it too faithfully; I forgot all about it, till I saw a clip on YouTube; and a lot of memories came back; The theme song; dude being clumsy, etc -

still I probably never saw entire seasons; most likely I just caught it when it was on; the show was called #TheGreatestamericanHero :: just 'an example' here :: not even sure what's in this episode... but, I bet it was 'diverse' -- I'll explain

one of these episodes I saw, featured a black man as one of the 'main friends' of one of the characters; another was In charge of an entire army division; Neither, were shuckin or jivin; playing 'lesser than' roles; and again this is the 80's - who watched Magnum P.I. ?

On #MagnumPI our brother, was also an Equal; One of the baddest cats ON the show in fact; Did it all - highly skilled, but at no points, "Lesser than" anybody. 80's tv was actually presenting a 'narrative' of equality in America; or at least,
