I've enjoyed the character since Black Lightning appeared in the 70s, and I am worried this show will not find enough of an audience to keep it going.

: Hypersexualized to the point of almost
: changing the channel. Bad
:
: -------> Sadly , this is what people
: want to watch. It is hard to watch anything
: these days without that.
:
:
: Racial slurs in nearly every conversation
: (even though used exclusively by black
: characters). Bad
:
: ----> Realistic though . That is how
: the street kids and gang punks talk. When
: they are in my house visiting, they are not
: allowed to talk that way and they respect my
: rules. But when I was at their baseball and
: football games, heck when I helped coach
: their basketball team - this is how they
: talk to each other.
:
:
: The plot and execution was pretty good, but
: the rest was ridiculous. Especially 'rebel
: without a cause' Jennifer.
:
: ----> I dunno , I have 2 kids and both
: went through a rebellious stage. My oldest
: is married and some times he is still that
: way. Drives me nuts and we do have some
: conflict. His wife is working on him.
:
: I'd almost swear someone is trying to tank
: this show.
:
: ---> no it is an inner city
: Oriented show - some white people are
: having a problem with it.
:
: Watching this - I am having some flash
: backs , Having worked in ER's, Morgues and
: Funeral homes.... opening the morgue drawer
: so some mother can ID her dead kid, picking
: up an injured kid on the street - watching
: parents get the news that their kid was
: killed - putting that kid in a cold metal
: drawer.
:
: I've been in homes where they first thing
: out of their mouth was ''White people are
: not welcome here....'' But because I was
: there to help, they let me in.
:
: I've been in meetings where families are
: begging for help, but feel that they cannot
: trust the police. And as we see at the
: end, they cannot. Very Chicago Police move
: there, allowing the bad guy in to kill.
:
: Reminds me of my family - Uncle was a
: moonshiner, the local cop (great
: grandfather) allowed him to hide the
: moonshine in the jail with the ATF people
: came to town.
