First of all, I am white, so do not assume that my criticism has anything to do with my race. Now, several times throughout the series, in many different ways, words and dialogue have been used to suggest that, in the words of the main character, "the main obstacle to our race is our race". Knowing that most of this dialogue and interaction is in fact fiction, I found it outrageous that whoever produced this used the names of outstanding people like Malcolm X and so many others and created a false narrative to promote this idea. It blames the victims all over again and presents a terrible and unfair image of them. It frustrates me that this is passed off as based on a true story when most of it is actually a fabrication. The story is basically men. Its a very well made series of course, addictive, the actors are great, not sure how they accepted to be part of it but well. To speak the truth, the main obstacle to our progress as human beings is us human beings. That is more accurate.
